NBA has the NHL problem right now...only the die hards and the regular sports fan watch it....the _casual_ fans dont give a fuck.

^^^no, common factor = no Spurs.

The finals series this year has been a blast to watch. I haven't watched a full game of basketball in years.

Anytime the Yankees play in the World Series, it tends to hit 20million plus viewers per game.  Other times it's reached more than 20 million is because either the Red Sox were making history or a series went to Game 7.  Barry Bonds' Giants couldn't even crack the 20m mark until Game 7 when it reached 31million.  It has a lot to do with the fact that the Lakers are back in the Finals.  Ratings are always up when teams with a huge fanbase make it to the Finals.  Of course it doesn't hurt when you have the best player in the game, but I don't think that's the most important factor.  Yankees have such a large fan base, with a large fan base comes a long a separate fan base that wants you to lose.  The same thing can be said for the Lakers.

exacly, having the best player helps but its mostly the team in this case the Lakers and in Baseball The yankees.
