The 2015 NBA Finals recorded the highest viewership of any Finals since Michael Jordan's last season with the Chicago Bulls in 1998.
The series featured two medium sized markets in the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, but two of the NBA's marquee players in Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
The six-game series averaged nearly 20 million viewers (19,939,000 P2+) and an 11.6 U.S. household rating, up 30 percent and 26 percent, respectively, from the 2014 NBA Finals (Miami-San Antonio).
