No, DeSean Jackson is not the only person watching the Sixers.
The numbers from last night's Sixers game fell just below the highest-rated Flyers game ever on CSN (155,000 households).
Sixers’ game broadcast and pre and postgame ratings on Comcast SportsNet are averaging double-digit increases over last season. Last night’s Sixers win over the Los Angeles Lakers averaged a 5.1 HH rating (153,000 HHs), making it the highest-rated Sixers game since March 1, 2005. Year-to- date, Sixers games on Comcast SportsNet are averaging 2.81 household rating, up 77% over last season’s average. “Sixers Postgame Live” is averaging a 1.5 HH rating, up 88% over last season’s 0.8 HH rating, while “Sixers Pregame Live” is averaging a 0.6 HH rating, up 100% over last season.
Compare this to the ratings of the Phillies games from this past year – an average of 276,000 households – and it's clear the Sixers are making progress… but still have a ways to go.

People wanted to see Kobe go ahead of Shaq in the scoring list.
Anyone who thinks that the Flyers have more fans than the Sixers needs to get off their cul-de-sac in Cherry Hill.
Sixers new owners are fucking geniuses. They are going to CASH IN on a new TV deal… fuck…. ed snider is so mad right now!
shows how little of a hockey town this city really is that the sixers could this easily take over
I think all of you Flyer fans are in denial because your team is awful.
I can’t watch hockey too many black guys on the ice.
