Um, why do they have to prolong this agony known as the NBA season? The ratings are down 50% in the regular season since MJ retired from the Bulls in 98.

Fun fact from a Sporting News article:

"College basketball does not need Stern as a savior. It doesn't need saving. The NCAA championship game between North Carolina and Illinois drew 23.9 million viewers. Stern dreams of such numbers. The NCAA championship pregame show attracted 14.6 million viewers, only 800,000 fewer than Game 1 of the 2004 NBA Finals. When Seth Davis is drawing a rating as big as Kobe Bryant's, the pro game has issues. "

:lol

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
normally I wouldn't be a prick about such things, but since your topic sucks, it's "couldn't care less."

Also, nba has 7 game series, so comparing one to one ratings is silly.
