David Stern Wins. Undisputably.

Sports Media Watch reports:

Game 7 Spurs-Heat:  15.3 rating, 26.3 million viewers.

Second highest rated NBA game of the post-Jordan era.

#1 was Game 7 Celtics-Lakers 2010 Finals:  15.6, 28.2 M

And to give an idea of what the Next Jordan is doing for the league:  2005 Game 7 involving the Spurs (vs. the Pistons):  11.9, 19 M

The NBA Grand Final even beat the Notre Dame-Alabama construction by two-tenths of a point.

(Interesting statistic SMW puts out to validate the Greatest Tragedy in Sports:  Game 7 of that farcical 2002 Western Conference Final stands, now, as the 4th-highest rated game of the post-Jordan era.)
