The way you tend to take your invalid thoughts so seriously, it's a mockery man...Mike Mathis was just on KLAC a few days back speaking about how much more power an NBA official obviously has and how much less they are held accountable for their actions than in any other league, and EVERYONE on the station agreed, their is no question...Same thing with his interview on ESPN Radio. Sometime I think you make up these arguments just for the sake of arguing..lol @ NIK using the media AND ESPN when it's convieniant.anyways dude he's an NBA official of corse he's going to side with his profession. lol. like i said an MLB Ump is responsibile for 95% of the plays in baseball. At most NBA refs are responsible for 50%. NBA refs don't blow the whistle and decide wether a dunk counts as a basket or not unless it's offensive interference or shot clock violation.

Is that not a different point though?Baseball umpires have much more opportunity in theory to control the outcome of a game, which is what Jake is saying.NBA referees have less control over the outcome of a game, but without the necessary accountability in place, they are more likely to try and do so than maybe a Baseball umpire would.
again elaborate how an MLB Umpire would be held resposible.
heat from who? the league or the media. you need to elabortate. you cann't say that the media doesn't put heat under the NBA .
This whole argument is pointless between you too. Neither of you guys are really wrong. theres just no way to prove that one official has more power then another.Besides, who needs dirty refs when you have steroids?! lol
