The Golden State Warriors domination good for basketball?

I am a firm believer in the freedom of the media. A sports reporter for Fox Sports named Andrew Lynch believes if the Golden State Warriors sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games in the 2017 NBA Finals, it is a good thing for the National Basketball Association. (NBA).
Come on Andrew, in the words of the late New Orleans sportscaster Buddy Diliberto who went by the nickname Buddy D, he would say "What have you been smoking?"
Okay so the media is saying that the Nielsen ratings of the 2017 NBA Finals are even higher than the 2016 NBA Finals where Cleveland beat Golden State in seven games coming back from a 3-1 deficit.
Skip Bayless on the Fox Sports 1 show "Undisputed" is suggesting that if Lebron James wants to be remembered as King James, he will step his game in the third game of the NBA Finals since he knows if the Cavaliers lose Game Three of the NBA Finals, his legacy will be harmed big time.
So far the two games of the 2017 NBA Finals have been not even close to being buzzer beaters.
I guess the star power of James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant has gotten the attention of the average basketball fan this year.

that I have to agree!
But this year's finals is exciting as well. I'm with the Warriors because my cousin is one of their therapists and i like Curry. I admired KD when he was with OKC and now, I'm loving him more.

Neilsen ratings ask a handful of people what shows they "watch." I guess the pets watch the games instead of the humans like Mad magazine suggested a long time ago.

The biggest problem with all these sports channels is that there are too many people out there who "know what's best for the sport." Give me a break. Shut up and call the game.
