Summary
The NBA playoffs are exploding in viewership, thanks to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs leading a historic Western Conference Finals run that drew more eyeballs than last year’s Finals—averaging 10.83 million viewers, with Game 7 hitting 15.9 million. NBC’s return as broadcaster boosted overall ratings 16% and its own numbers by 100%, while the upcoming NBA Finals on ESPN promise even bigger numbers with the Spurs vs. Knicks matchup—Knicks chasing their first title since 1999. Even with a low-scoring, sweep-heavy Eastern Conference Finals, the Wembanyama hype and Knicks’ legacy are primed to reignite the league’s golden era of ratings.
