TV Ratings: NBA’s Return to NBC (Roundball) Rocks
The league scores its best opening night audience in 15 years across the broadcast network and Peacock.www.hollywoodreporter.com
The NBA’s ballyhooed return to NBC brought in a sizable audience — the most for the league’s season opener in 15 years.
A doubleheader on Tuesday averaged 5.6 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, based on Nielsen’s big data plus panel ratings and internal streaming figures. That figure is inclusive of both games, with the later contest between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors stretching well past midnight ET.
The 5.6 million cross-platform viewers are the most for the NBA’s season tipoff since 2010 (excluding the 2011 season, which began on Christmas Day after an owner lockout), which averaged 5.7 million viewers on TNT and featured LeBron James’ first game with the Miami Heat. Last year’s tipoff doubleheader averaged 2.95 million viewers on TNT (under a different Nielsen measurement system that didn’t include the big data component).
At 37 years old!!!!
I think the thing that too many people are missing is the fact that it wasn't just gambling. The dudes had tables and cards set up to where you could put on a specific type of glasses and see through all of the cards. You know every card everyone else has before a play is even made. They weren't gambling, they were robbing niggas. And I imagine that if you were one of the people that got fucked over, you probably wouldn't be too opposed to talking to the FBI.
Truth!
NBA Prime crew is definitely stale asf.
All these changes.
All these changes.
For real! He’s just an amazing player to watch!
I only like the TNT crew for before between and after game shit! NBC crew working the games is solid though...
Guys like him and Lebron ... generational talents.
I've said to pops a few times over the years it's great to see Lebron live up to all the hype (dating back to HS) and then some. Love when players do that. Career longevity. Winning championships with multiple teams. Putting up legendary career numbers.
As for Steph ... he created championship memories for those GSW fans for multiple years. Changed the way the game is played given how lethal he is as a shooter. And many of us grew up watching the exciting style of play from Run TMC for GSW back in the day. Lots of fun during those Hardaway, Richmond, Mullin years.

It's like those sayings or expressions of "talk the talk, walk the walk ..." OR "Don't just talk about it, be about it."
Both are certified.
I hope they both stick around the game for many decades to come (I.E. - executives, coaching, team ownership). They don't need to as they can easily retire with hundreds of millions or $1B + in the bank (already) for generations to come, but they're the kind of guys you want around as they're proven winners who foster a culture of excellence. Hell, Lebron's teams have essentially made the NBA Finals for half his career.
