A fair point, but I don't think even with the addition of streams (both legal and illegal) would make up for the 5-10 million views per game difference these last 2 finals have averaged compared to even just 4 years ago.
Its impossible to know though. And frankly the money starts and ends with TV contracts, so as far as the NBA is concerned they should be worried.
