Definitely looks a little bit suss with some of those ridiculous calls ! It reminds me of a famous moment in NBA history !

I am a huge MJ fan but one thing that has never really sat well with me was the last grand final series against the Jazz !

My memory of it was the Jazz had kicked into top gear in that final series but the referee's (NBA) seemed to let enough bad calls go through to secure title number 6 for the Bulls

Pippen was pretty much done for the series and 2 calls in particular gave the game to Chicago !

A 3 pointer that was allowed by Harper that clearly should not have been allowed and then a 3 point shot by Eisley that was clearly in but waved off. I am a bit long in the tooth so my memory is a bit cloudy but if the bulls did not win game 6, they more than likely would not have won that series ...

I hate this kind of crap, with a passion.

Why is everyone trying to dis-credit LeBron's title? Are people THAT mad that he won? It's ridiculous, people need to get a life.

I would hazard a guess to say that no other championship has been THIS scrutinized. EVER!

All I can say is that if you want to make a video trying to dis-credit what has been achieved you should not put yourself in a position to be discredited...wish people would learn how to spell...its is spelt C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S and not C O N G R A D U L A T I O N S.

What is a congradulation, someone in favour of another person passing their university exams?

I may be wrong but weren't similar videos released last year trying to dis-credit the win of the Mavs

they may call me an idolizer, but atleast im not a hater. fair call some of those were bad calls on the refs behalf, that doesnt make it a flop, like i think it was the 2nd flop they called out, Bosh clearly lost his balance, sure its not a foul, but the ref called it, whats bosh going to do? say no thanks ref? you cannot hate Miami Heat or any of its players for bad calls on the refs behalf. every team gets there fair share.

And secondly, yes some where flops. and that annoys me. i wish it wasnt part of basketball. and hopefully soon they will eradicate it. but lets be honest. Miami would have won this championship with or without forcing a few fouls by way of flopping.

They where the best team this season, they took home the rings. lets leave it at that.

loafic · Aug 19, 2012

miami shot lights out during the finals and deserved to win the title this year but i thought it was an interesting video that's all... it was not posted to discredit the miami heat but more so the nba officials themselves... they can make anything happen if they really want to which is downright scary and really disappointing

i thought the days of nba officials having an influence on nba games were over after the tim donaghy debacle but it appears it still exists... read his book about his story as it sheds a new light on that side of the game that we everyday folk dont get to experience

some of those calls were downright disgusting. i just wish they called it as they saw it and not called it how the wanted to see it or how they thought they saw it

As someone who doesn't follow BBall at all, to me in looked like the ref was telling the coach to back off the court.

I mean, if they had fixed it, why the hell would you be high fiving in front of a stadium full of fans and a national audience.

hairyangryfella · Aug 19, 2012

Having watched a few of the games live I was pretty disgusted at some of the calls... basically momentum-killing, game-changing calls. You only need 1-2 of those to happen and the game is completely different to how it could have been. The Heat were a damn good team and probably would have won anyway, but the Thunder had no real chance to compete because of so much shoddy officiating, and it really pissed me off and made me hate the NBA a little bit. Had the series made it back to OKC who knows what could have happened...

sgt_pepper · Aug 19, 2012

you dont win a ring in the final series. they had a great season, got there and were the best team throughout.

Rogerbid23 · Aug 19, 2012

move on, big deal just get ready for the next season.

discredit whos title?? Did u say Miami's title??? No doubt LeBron gets the calls and Wade do but not as much as he used to. Alot of those calls were 50/50 calls that happened to go Miamis way. I really think that the NBA needs to address the flopping tho. Bosh flopped alot in that first clip.

Staggs · Aug 19, 2012

Flopping is like trying to eradicate Soccer players staying down when they are fouled. It's not something that people like, but it's always going to happen regardless.

If NBA refs are given the ability to say call fouls on floppers. Then sooner or later a ref will call a flop on a good charge and effect the game in that way.

Staggs · Aug 19, 2012

and to all heat haters. It's not like Miami are the only team who flop aswell

GarnettFan4Life · Aug 19, 2012

Joey Crawford is the absolute worst. How he hasn't been caught yet is just astounding.

he seems to be bad for sure... read plenty about him and bavetta in that donaghy book, bennett salvadore seems like a prick too

WoobieZarz · Aug 21, 2012

Yeah I hate the bashful vids/stories that pop up post-victory (pretty sure something popped up after the Mavs won too), but no doubt there was some reason for them. On the other hand a few of those calls, especially the fouls on Bosh in that vid, were correct IMO.

Sure the NBA needs to do something about the damn flopping! I mean, take a leaf outta the AFL's book and start siting people post-games! Incorporate the injunctions like Tech Fouls, you get enough of them you get suspended!

I remember Timmy D getting ejected like that, but hadnt seem the Nash/Camby one, and that Iverson conversation was just ridiculous!

Mico · Aug 21, 2012

As if a sports league the size of the NBA, with the power, scope, scrutiny and $$$ behind it could be rigged. And were not talking about just match fixing, we are talking about a pre-determined championship. You don't think there are journalists out there offering to pay big $ to anyone who wants to whitsleblow on corruption in the NBA? If it was going on, a ref or an official would have already taken the money and run to Hawaii in a million dollar mansion.

Hmmmm... interesting clip I just saw on 2012 NBA Finals
