Legends
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
2 of the biggest stars of the last 10 years, expected.
IT’S RIGGED BOYS
The LeBron James effect
God damn 27 years ago, that beats some of Jordan bulls years crazy
When do you animals sleep? Start times are ridiculous
Was a pretty boring series tbh. 4 out of the 6 games were blowouts
if they could somehow count all the internet streams it would probably be up there with some of most watched games of all time
Can you imagine if they didn’t start at 10pm EST? Probably breaking all-time records
Had to watch could be the last Steph Bron playoff series ever. Probably not but it could be and that’s a big draw.
Maybe the NBA and refs should help the Lakers get to the Finals so they can bring in record breaking ratings 😏😏😏
Imagine if Draymond stomped on someone’s chest. 8 million easy
that shit was fun too
Wouldn’t 27 years ago be 1996 aka the Sonics vs the Jazz? Really that was the previous record holder?
Game 7 was kind of nuts though watching it now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXJBhTtzisc
The Kings died for this
And the most watched of the entire playoffs, that much is a guarantee.
4/6 games were blowouts.
It honestly wasn’t that great of a series, but I’m always down to watch Steph and LeBron on the same court.
After Steph and Bron retire, We’re likely not going to get a playoff series against two top 10 players of all time again in a very very long time, I watched every game with a bunch of friends, at sports bars and at home. Well worth it.
Remember when conservatives said the NBA was dead? Lol
LeBron and Steph… levels to this
Crickets from the idiot conservatives who were blaming BLM anytime the ratings dipped
I was one of those, feelsgoodman.
Clay Travis in absolute shambles
Lebron vs Golden State always feels like the finals lol
And I didn’t watch a single second.
