LeBron best draw since Michael

The stirring saga of King James trying to become the Moses who leads the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first Promised Land despite a demolition derby that hit his supporting cast has ABC heading to the best NBA Finals ratings in 17 years.

And this is in a year when NBA TV ratings during the season were their lowest in seven years.

The last time the NBA Finals ratings were better was when Michael Jordan was still playing for the Chicago Bulls before his first retirement in 1999.
