  • I had a ton of notes I took at points in Miami during the NBA finals and all of it didn't get into posts. So I'm closing out my notebook with bullet points to put a little bow on the NBA finals. • People like to watch stars.

  • Kobe Bryant has won five NBA championships. He's had a different victim each time: Indiana, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Orlando, Boston. Tim Duncan has won four NBA championships.

  • Dwyane Wade said Monday he believes this team will respond to winning a championship much better than the 2006 Heat team, which was swept by Chicago in the first round of the 2007 playoffs. "It's a different group," Wade said.
  • (Miami Herald)
  • OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – By keeping largely the same group together and building over time, the Oklahoma City Thunder climbed from the bottom of the league to the NBA Finals. They were so close to the pinnacle.
  • (USA Today)
  • MIAMI (AP) The NBA Finals have matched last years average television rating with one fewer game. The five games between the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder on ABC averaged a 10.1 rating, the same as the 2011 Heat-Mavericks series that went six games.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • Our take: After the Miami Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA finals, Kevin Durant, the Thunders vocally Christian forward, cried from the disappointment.
