Wrong. The NBA Finals averaged 11.6 Million fans. It was the lowest rated finals since 2021, and the 2nd lowest finals since the 2007 finals. To put that into perspective, the World Series last year between the
Rangers and the Diamondbacks averaged 11.5 Million (which was the lowest rated WS of all time). Basically, the MLB & NBA have virtually the same ratings. Both are clearly fighting for 2nd behind the NFL.
The five-game series won by the Texas Rangers averaged just 9.11m viewers on Fox, setting a new low for MLB.
