In 2008, the NBA replayed the closing minutes of a Heat v. Hawks game because of a mistake made by the staff at the scorer's table. In brief, a player was ruled fouled out when he should not have been; all scenarios were reset and the game was then finished correctly. ( http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3192421 ). As per this precedent, in game 6 of the 2013 NBA finals, the referees mistakenly gave Lebron James a three point basket when his foot was on the line. With his foot on the line, the basket should have been ruled a two pointer (as seen in this photo https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/p480x480/1044124_10151723942562223_1864549370_n.jpg ) As the NBA has done in the past, all conditions of this game should be reset to that moment with the score corrected and finished again.

Are you kidding me? A foot on the line is a two point shot plain and simple. The league needs to stop protecting certain players and just fix the score.

The refs blew it and everyone saw it happen. Either follow the rules or dont have them at all. This is ridiculous.
