So I guess last night's game 7 drew the best rating for an NBA game since Jordan and The Bulls beat Stockton, Malone and Utah in game 6 back in '98. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2010/news/story?id=5302401 Preliminary TV ratings best in 12 years Associated Press NEW YORK -- Game 7 drew the highest preliminary rating for an NBA Finals game since 1998. The Lakers' 83-79 win Thursday night on ABC earned an 18.2 overnight rating. That's the highest for an NBA game since Michael Jordan won his last championship with the Bulls in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals against the Jazz, which posted a 22.9. The rating was 32 percent higher than the only other Game 7 of the past 16 years, that one being Pistons-Spurs in 2005, which drew a 13.8. Ratings represent the percentage of all homes with televisions tuned into a program. Overnight ratings measure the country's largest markets. The game drew a 39.7 rating in Los Angeles and a 33.9 in Boston. Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press
