The National Basketball Association Nielsen ratings have risen and fallen over the decades. The National Basketball Association achieved a rapid rise and fall in television ratings from the 1997-98 season, when ratings for the NBA Finals achieved a record high, to the 2002-03 season, when ratings for the NBA Finals hit a record low. Blame for this rise and fall has been pinned on the destructive NBA lockout which occurred right after the 1998 season. The lockout wiped out thirty-two games of the 1998-99 season and caused fan apathy. Other blame has been put on the retirement of Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan, also on backlash against the "hip-hop" culture of the league, and as well as heavy competition from prime time programming such as ''American Idol'', the ''CSI shows'', and ''Dancing With The Stars''. The NBA's regular-season ratings average is on par with Major League Baseball's. Ratings for the NBA Finals outdraw other high-profile sporting events that occur during the same month, such as golf's U.S. Open and hockey's Stanley Cup Finals. Since 2007, NBA ratings have steadily risen, thanks to the resurgence of nationally recognized NBA teams, their star power, and their annual presence in the NBA Finals. Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals had the best rating for a basketball game in the contemporary ''NBA on ABC'' era, and the 2011 Finals held steady in the ratings department as well. Both series drew over a 10 rating, beating the World Series in consecutive years for the first time ever. In the 2010s, only one NBA final dipped below an average 10 rating (2014, which involved the ratings-challenged San Antonio Spurs in a five-game series), and the 2015 NBA Finals garnered the highest ratings of the ABC era. In all, despite declining TV ratings in the early 2000s (decade) and moderate ratings after, the NBA's television audience is often younger, and thus very attractive to advertisers. ==CBS (1973–1990)== (詳細はCBS achieved even a 10 average rating. The ratings were so low that CBS aired NBA Finals games in 1980 and 1981 on tape delay. The 1981 NBA Finals were the then-lowest Nielsen ratings in NBA history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Basketball Association Nielsen ratings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
