Thursday night's LeBron James "The Decision" on ESPN drew a 7.3 household rating in the preliminary overnight ratings. Compare that to the top rated show on broadcast last night, a repeat of The Mentalist on CBS, which drew a 6.0 household rating in the preliminary overnights. Update: Here is ESPN's official press release. A 7.3 is twice what an average NBA game ranks.
