Dodgers Yankees was literally the MLB's marquee matchup. Ohtani, Judge, the biggest markets, etc.
The equivalent would be Knicks/Lakers finals which I think would put up similar numbers.

The “old man yells at clouds” argument for anyone who doesn’t enjoy today’s game is cringe as hell. There are real gripes with today’s game that make it suck. Ironically the people complaining are likely 20-35 years old but sure “old man yells at clouds”. Lowbrow comment

Cope!
Then explain Iowa basketball
The decline in viewership has nothing to do with the popularity of franchises. People don’t like watching bron. And without the klutch sports controlled media attaching the youths fascination with Steph curry’s popularity to LeBron, he would have been irrelevant years prior following the “no ac induced cramps” in the 2014 nba finals. And it’s also clear the employees on old media are paid and financed by klutch sports which is why LeBron is never held accountable, if you follow people in the know on social media they will tell you straight up that LeBron has to only get asked post game questions from people he knows the answers to..

Because these are "old men yelling at clouds". Every indication is that the game is thriving. Attendance is the highest it's been, basketball is probably the second most followed sport in the world, the NBA has one of the highest social media following, the NBA signed a record media deal meaning people are watching. Silver has done such a good job he was considered to oversee Disney, lol. This idea that the product sucks or is in trouble is overblown by "old men yelling at clouds",

Don’t care what the numbers are the product objectively sucks. Both things can be true without it being an “old man yells at clouds” argument
But hey you still have a 100 3’s a game in the coming years to look forward to!

It's the best for both worlds.
If you're watching basketball at 1am you're either under the age of 23, unemployed, or both.

Right now I think we have a bunch of jump shooters, 5 out type offenses. I think outside of Ja we don't have enough electric players. Edwards can be that, but this year he's decided to shoot way more 3s.

I’m now on that path as well. I don’t watch any NBA now really. First time probably ever I watched more MLB playoffs than NBA playoffs. The product is just boring to me now. Can’t really put a finger on it, but ya just lost my interest.
I’m sure I’m not the only one with a similar situation. If people think it’s just mainly “illegal streaming” for the low ratings, I think they’re very wrong. A lot of people are just getting bored with the level of product of the NBA now.
