I am certainly no fan of WNBA players in the NBA celebrity game, but a look at ratings makes it clear why we should not expect it to stop anytime soon:
NBA Celebrity All Star Game 2/17 ESPN 1,707,000
That was actually down quite a bit from a year before, but still a 1.11 million higher average than any actual WNBA game last year.
Oddly enough it also outdrew the rising stars game, which had actual NBA players trying reasonably hard compared to not so big name celebrities giving various levels of effort. It also rated significantly better in the 18-49 age group than among people 50+, which is surprisingly rare in the world of television. |
