Facing elimination, the Heat pulled out the win on Saturday (June 9) in Miami. Now, Lebron gets a third try at that elusive first championship.
James led the Heat with 31 points and 12 rebounds the Game 7 win, while Dwyane Wade added 23 points, six rebounds and six assists. Forward Chris Bosh also chipped in with 19 points and eight rebounds. The Heat pulled out a tough series, riding the back of Lebron James …
Kevin Durant and his Thunder finally make the NBA Finals for the first time since its move to OKC, and the franchise earns its first trip back since the 1995-96 season when they were still in Seattle.

The 2012 NBA Finals looks to be exciting. OKC’s big three: Durant, Westbrook and Harden; versus Miami’s big three: James, Wade and Bosh.
Who do you got to take it all this year?
