to play. it might have changed a little bit, but at the end of the day, we all had one goal and that was to become a champion. >> you had done this before. what do you think is the most important thing that you said to your teammates on the way to this championship? >> you know what? i think this team, we have so much pain, so much hurt, so much embarrassment from last season that it was nothing needed to be saidid. from the first day, from christmas day, we was on a mission. and that mission was not complete until tonight. >> two-time nba champion dwyane wade. congratulations. chris bosh. every nba player dreams of winning the nba championship. how does the dream compare to the reality? >> ah, the reality is a lot better, but you know what? all those times we were working hard in the gym, working hard together, suffering through

everything together, it's all worth it. >> you were perceived as sometimes the forgotten member of the big three. what do you think your biggest contribution to this team has been over the last couple of years? >> just rebounding, scoring when i can. i know what i can do. this city, this city and my team ma mates they supported me all along. we came here to win a championship. we came here to win a championship and we got it done. >> pretty nice to average a double-double in the nba finals, as well. congratulations to chris bosh. let's now congratulate your nba champion, 2012, miami heat and nba finals mvp lebron james. mike breen, nearly nine years to the day after he was drafted, almost, lebron james finally gets his coronation.

we're sending it back upstairs to you. >> mike: stuart, thank you very much. jeff, as you said, they have all the money, they have all the fame. yet, they look like little kids at this moment. >> jeff: well, you work so long and so hard. you don't even realize until the fourth quarter when they had that huge lead that you were actually going to accomplish it. they had so many opportunities this year, where they could have lost along the way, to indiana, or to boston. they found a way. >> mike: they always talked about the experience, that was the ultimate teacher for them. meanwhile, let's, a quick back look at the oklahoma city thunder. what a fabulous year, such a great young team. just although step. they may just not have been ready right now, but you know they're going to be a force for the number of years, especially if they keep the core together. >> jeff: i think a lot of people will go back and say, in revisionist history, that they weren't experienced enough. i don't think it was that. i thought they just met up

against another great team who made two or three more plays, games two through four, than they did, and unfortunately, they got hit with the hay maker tonight, with all those three-point shots. >> mike: final line between winning and losing in this league. certainly evident in games two, three and four, where the heat won three straight then and, of course, finished off with four straight wins to win the championsh championship. as for miami, again, their core is going to be together. might have some tweaks. but they are certainly a team. we can joke about it now, we talk about they could win multiple championships, getting the first one, it's going to be hard coming back, but they're going to be in the thick of things for a number of years. jntd there's no doubt. their challenge is to remain hungry, remain humble and keep playing to the standard they set in these playoffs. and, that's not easy, because injuries can come into it. a lot of things can happen. and, so, that's why you have to

make the most of your opportunities. >> mike: say so much about lebron james, rightfully, so, but so much help that he had tonight, mike miller, shane battier or mario chalmers or norris cole. so many players contributed. miller with the seven three-pointers. miami heat are the nba champions. and so many people to thank. outstanding crew that we have all season long, talk about sacrifice and hard work, they are the epitome of that. for jeff van gundy, doris burke, producer tim corrigan, director jimmy moore and this great, great crew we are honored to work with, mike breen saying thank you for watching our coverage of the nba finals. coming up next, it's your late local news, "nightline" and "jimmy kimmel live" over most of these abc stations. on the west coast, it's "jimmy kimmel game night." after these messages, we'll be back with one final look at the miami heat and their road to a title, right after these messages.
