"Come one!?" Did you mean "come on!" It means add oil, and is their way of cheering you on to step it up a notch.

It was nice to see the good sportsmanship of the Chinese crowd. We could learn a thing or two from them.

Deron, don't be ridiculous, no basketball game ever will draw more viewers worldwide then FIFA world cup final games.

Sounds like another Laker fan trying to pick a fight because they're butt-hurt about getting plastered by the Celtics in the Finals. Now blowing a 24 point lead in the Finals-that's mediocre!

agreed the 2006 fifa world cup final had 2.1 billion viewers, i think the article meant to say the most watched basketball game ever.

and even if those figures are incorrect and the basketball ratings do set a record it will just be broken in the 2010 fifa world cup in south africa

utah is hardly mediocre.. unless that is you like to sit at your house all the time. go hiking or mountain biking or ski/board on the best snow on earth!

Deron williams is a stud and there is no way anyone beats the u.s. olympic basketball team this time around

Must be a slow news day if by the 14th we are still chewing on the games with Angola and China which took place days ago. Come on guys lets get some real reports, up to date.

talk about hype.... the real ratings say that at most a few hundred million watched this game!

between 37 million and 180 million in china watched and a decent rating in the US.... but wait, i thought 300 million people play basketball in china???
