Right on cue, China ends their year-long boycott of NBA for Game 5 after one of the most embarrassing ratings numbers in sports history. The traitorous NBA needs to be banned from doing business in China.
Last summer, the Houston Rockets GM mentioned his support for Hong Kong China's main telecom banned NBA broadcasts. And ever since the NBA has been licking China's taint to get back in their good graces.
No, each country's ratings are separate, which is why the NBA's drop is so significant. The 2019 NBA Finals had a Canadian team, meaning half of the ratings weren't even counted, yet this year's Finals still saw 60+% drops.
Ok, interesting.. Since you seem knowledgeable, can you help reconcile this? "Game 5 delivered the series’ largest audience yet — 5.7 million total viewers"
