You don't agree with this. I would like to think that this is about right. By Stern saying "our officials miss about 5% of the calls," it sounds negative. But what if he had said "our officials are correct about 95% percent of the time. That sounds different. To say that anyone is correct about anything 95% of the time is a big statement. I would actually think it would be less in the NBA...lol. Take for instance the "spectacular move" that TNT kept showing of Labron James where he went up in the air with Haywood and held the ball til the last second before making the basket. HE WALKED WALKED WALKED. He took 2 to many steps. I think that Stern was refferring to the times when the officials DO blow the whistle, but they missing calls includes more than just the ones you call.
