So far 2004 NBA Finals ratings up 43% over 2003 NBA Finals

NEW YORK (AP) — The overnight ratings for Detroit's 87-75 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night were up 43% from last season's Game 1. ABC's coverage of the game drew an 11.6 rating with an 18 share. That's better than all six of the games in last year's final when San Antonio beat New Jersey. Game 1 last year had an 8.1 rating with a 13 share.
The rating for Sunday night's game peaked during the final 15 minutes with a 14.0 and a 25 share.

The rating for each team's home market was strong, with a 29.3 with a 45 share in Los Angeles and a 33.2 with a 45 share for Detroit.

Probably because its the freakin Lakers....No one wants to see small market teams duke it out like last year and the Lakers much like the Yankees and Cowboys are the most hyped and hated of sports teams.

I love the NBA, but an NBA finals game will do worse numbers then a prime time NFL football game.

Exactly...The Lakers, Cowboys, Yankees, and Red Wings are the glamour teams
of their respective sports. Throw them in a finals series and the numbers will be up.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
