2011 NBA Finals Continue to Draw Ratings Between Mavericks and Heat

According to ESPN's numbers, the Finals are grabbing an average of 15.3 million viewers so far in the first three games.
On top of that, "Ratings are up 15 percent over the last Miami-Dallas series in 2006. Viewership is up slightly over last year's series between traditional powers Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers."
The Miami Heat are quite the draw, mostly because people want to see LeBron James lose.
