NBA Playoffs: Busting the Myth That NBA Ratings Are Surging

There is a lot of misinformation going around about NBA Playoff ratings. Certain media sites are claiming NBA ratings for the playoffs are up between 40-50 percent. Some on YouTube are claiming that NBA ratings are increasing since LeBron James was eliminated from the playoffs.

This simply isn't the case. We dive into the ratings...and prove that they're still down in comparison to 2019. Back in 2019...NBA ratings for the playoffs were considered to be disastrous. Which means ratings being down this year in comparison to 2019...are even worse.

We show how second round ratings for the playoffs are down...and how the overall ratings are down.
