Ted Cruz, Mark Cuban spar over NBA viewership tweet
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban went head-to-head on Twitter Tuesday over reports that the third night of the NBA Finals on Sunday hit a record-low for the number of viewers, with Cruz attributing the slump to basketball teams turning “every game into a left-wing political lecture.”
The Texas senator started by retweeting an article from conservative political commentator Sean Hannity on Sunday’s Lakers-Heat game. The event had approximately 5.94 million viewers, the least-watched NBA Finals game on record, according to Sports Media Watch.
