{{see also|O. J. Simpson murder case}}

During Game 5 (June 17, 1994), most NBC affiliates (with the noted exception being WNBC-TV out of New York City) split the coverage of the game between NFL Hall of Famer O. J. Simpson's slow-speed freeway chase with the LAPD. At the time, Simpson had been an NFL analyst on NBC. A visibly confused and distraught Bob Costas (NBC's anchor for their NBA Finals coverage) said during the telecast from Madison Square Garden that the Simpson situation was "not just tragic but now surreal".{{cite news | last = Sandomir | first = Richard | title = NBC Angered Some Fans with Its Simpson Coverage | work = The New York Times | date = June 19, 1994 | url = https://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/19/sports/nbc-angered-some-fans-with-its-simpson-coverage.html | accessdate = July 31, 2021}}{{cite news | last = Cerone | first = Daniel | title = TV Ratings: Arresting Coverage Deflates NBC's NBA Numbers | work = Los Angeles Times | date = June 22, 1994 | url = https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-06-22-ca-7094-story.html?_amp=true | accessdate = January 19, 2022}}
