Game 5 Of The NBA Finals Gets Atrocious TV Ratings
Game five of the NBA Finals got some atrocious TV ratings Friday night when the Heat beat the Lakers. According to TVLine, the game had 5.7 million total viewers on ABC in the early numbers as the Heat pushed the series to 3-2 with a big win.
To tell you how bad the numbers were last night, game five in 2019 had 18.22 million viewers, according to SportsMediaWatch.com.
It’s truly shocking how bad the TV ratings have been for the NBA in the Finals this season. They’re not just bad.
They’re absolutely horrific, and there’s no other way to put it. We passed the point of embarrassment a long time ago.
The ratings might see a slight bump with the final numbers, but there’s simply no way you can shine a light on this situation to make it positive.
While there are many reasons for why the NBA has bottomed out, we all know a lot of fans have had enough with the politicization of sports.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver more or less admitted as much, and said the social justice messages will likely be gone next season.

Americans are waking up and so is the world.
They do not consent to the politicization of sports.
Most now understand Lebron James is a manufactured star.
He was made "great" only because he agreed to become a "controlled puppet", otherwise, he is only average at-best.
And everyone is tired of James' bullshit.
Keep it off the court.
Remember, the only person that crown him "king" was LeBron James.
This league may never recover from this and may end up bankrupt.
Their only hope to break away from their deep ties to the CCP.
Do they have the leadership, courage and strength to do it, or will greed be the cause of their demise?
