It was the lowest-rated and least-watched NBA All-Star Game of all time. According to the numbers posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsmediawatch.com\/2023\/02\/nba-all-star-ratings-viewership-record-low-tnt\/\">Sports Media Watch<\/a>, though the game was aired on both TNT and TBS, it averaged a combined 2.2 rating and 4.59 million viewers. Ratings have declined by 29% and viewership by 27% compared to last year\u2019s game.&nbsp; All-Star viewership has been trending down. However, this year\u2019s viewership has been the lowest since 2000, a year after the NBA lockout of 1998-1999. Some argue that a key contributor to the game\u2019s decline in viewership was due to key stars being out such as Steph Curry and the game exits of LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/All_Star_Game_Basketball_23051073859546.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/27141941\/All_Star_Game_Basketball_23051073859546.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/27141941\/All_Star_Game_Basketball_23051073859546-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/27141941\/All_Star_Game_Basketball_23051073859546-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AP Photo\/Rick Bowmer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to other All-Star games in other professional leagues the NBA All-Star Game ranked the lowest in viewership, such as the NFL Pro Bowl re-imaged which brought in 6.28 million viewers on ESPN, ABC, and DisneyXD.
