The Golden State Warriors were accused of “ruining the NBA” for years, but now, it’s clear they were doing the exact opposite.
Fans were outraged when Kevin Durant joined the Dubs directly after their record-breaking 73-9 season. With the deck stacked so heavily in the Warriors favor, why would anyone bother watching the NBA in 2016-17?
Well, apparently everyone wanted to watch the Durant led Warriors. The 2017 NBA Finals featured a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the third year in a row but brought in the most views of any Finals series since Michael Jordan‘s last title run in 1998.
