What a difference a year makes.  After getting their hearts ripped out by the Dallas Mavericks in 2011, the Miami Heat now have their official 2012 NBA Champions DVD after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Miami Heat exorcised their demons by beating the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2012 NBA Finals.  After losing the first game in Oak City, the Miami Heat won four straight games to capture the title.  The heartbreak of losing the 2011 NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks definitely helped the Miami Heat against the Thunder.  Miami was more experienced and knew how badly it felt to lose the NBA Finals.  They wanted to avoid that feeling at all cost.

LeBron James was magnificent in the NBA Finals.  LeBron averaged 28.6 points with 10.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists.  He was named NBA Finals MVP.  The trailer of this DVD is put together very well.  It captures the pain Miami felt after the 2011 Finals and how it added to the joy they experienced after beating the Thunder.  My personal favorite moment occurs at the :28 mark.  Chris Bosh is yelling at the crowd while celebrating.  The dude looks just like a teradactyl dinosaur or something.  Good stuff.  I'd buy this DVD if I wasn't a Chicago Bulls' fan.
