Lakers/Sixers Game 1 in 2001 is legendary. I remember talking to a dude who grew up and lived in Philly. He said those 2001 playoffs, the whole city was going crazy for the Sixers.

Irving got injured. Silver must be mad right now. :lolThis is going to seem insane but Bulls Jazz game 6 did a 23 (!) And averaged 18. But this is an interesting series. The fact that it's got the highest ratings in over 13 years and consists of two relatively small markets is astonishing.

But I thought the NBA was rigging it so that LA, CHI, PHI, AND NY can play in the Finals every year?

How the hell did GS and Clev get in?

New commissioner. That means Kobe should just retire cuz he ain't winning nothing no more!

NBA is a star-driven league. LeBron and a hyped up GS with Curry thanks to E!SPN will do that. :rolleyes:
