Funny how the NFL never has an issue with ratings today despite streaming services these days.
I wonder why that is?
Would you watch football games on only your phone?
You didn't answer the question. Why is it that the NFL doesn't have these ratings issues yet the NBA does?
Even the NFL draft this year had better ratings than the Finals this year.

So the answer is to zoom out the basketball broadcast?

LOL!!! Fox just had 127 million viewers for the last Super Bowl, a new record number!
If Jordan and the Bulls were still around they would still be setting TV records the problem is there hasn’t been a transcendent player or team at that level since 1998, not Kobe/Shaq, not Duncan, not Lebron, not Curry or Tatum and as much as the NBA tries to force it’s just not gonna happen.
I'm a Jordan guy, but Lebron has absolutely been box office. It was really after the 2010 decision that the NBA blew up in popularity
Eh. The "boring" label has followed him his entire career. He wasn't an electric player in the way that MJ, Kobe, Vince, AI, even Wade were. Not to mention the last 10 years he's coasted for large stretches of the regular season or even taken games off entirely.
It’s Official: Streaming Is Now the King of TV
In May, more Americans watched television on streaming than on cable and network television combined, Nielsen said. It is the first time that has happened over a full month.

Yeah, Bron's star power has always been a bit exaggerated. He is a big star no doubt, but he also depends on the other major stars in the league to generate high ratings. The highest rated finals post MJ are the Warrior/Cavs series and Steph (2nd biggest star of this era) being on the other side had a lot to do with it. However, the 2007 and 2020 Finals were among the lowest rated finals of all-time with Lebron being really the only mainstream headliner. This isn't a knock on LeBron, all of the NBA star players are like that (Warriors/Celtics in 2022 didn't do so hot). These guys generally bring high ratings when they play against one another, but on their own the ratings aren't that great.
