When a game can be decided and or controlled by the actions of an official or referee then you clearly have a mechanism as to how to effect the outcome of that game, I feel that's why leagues like the NHL suffered as far as ratings and fan interest this season.
Not sure how the TV ratings are for the NBA Finals but would imagine they would be solid as you have two of the leagues marquee players facing each other.
Based on some of the highlights I have seen from this series there has been some questionable calls (or non calls) at critical points of all the games.
When you have a player with the following that Lebron has you can bet he will get more calls in his favor than against, some will attribute that to respect..................................
