2012 NBA Finals: Heat vs. Thunder in 14 Minutes | NBA Highlights 

The games were close but the series wasn’t

I hate how people forget that the Thunder where the favourites to win this series

This was a fun team and time in the nba

Ive been a heat fan my entire life but live in australia...i got lucky that year as my holiday trip meant i was in miami for thr championship game and somehow bought a ticket. Best experience of my life the atmosphere was mental all game

I loved watching those Miami Heat teams. So explosive and fast.

The thunder just couldn’t finish games...

Man Chris Broussard,Mike Wilbon, Magic, Jon Barry, and the late great Stuart Scott. The first time I watched the NBA countdown those were the four analysts I saw on the screen. The NOSTALGIA 😭

This may be the most underrated Finals ever. The Spurs-Pistons too

When you re watch this, honestly experience just took over

As a Heat fan, I’m obviously glad we won the championship but I wish the series would’ve been more competitive. I expected this to be 7 games cause the Thunder were favorites to win.

If this Version of Wade showed up in 2014 Heat would have 3peated.

Westbrook and Durant showed up. Harden wasn’t ready. That’s why he got traded.

As a Celtics fan...I knew Miami was winning it all after Game 6 of the ECF... LeBron was like watching Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time...he simply could not be stopped, you have to respect it

Crazy to think that LeBron James had to go against Curry, Klay and KD.. Kd, Harden, and Westbrook.. Parker, Duncan, Kawhi, and Ginobli.. It's no wonder he's 3-6 in the Finals and was the underdog in most of the finals series.

Pat Riley, excited, inside, where it counts.

3:14 pretty bad that the ref that was literally standing right in front of KD and Bron didn't call a foul.

Westbrook dropped 27 in the 1st game and dropped 43 game 4

they call a foul on lebron in game two and this series is completely different

12:45 did the ref just high five the heats coach????

Wade and Bosh still has it even today. Glad to see them back.

Such an exciting year for my Heat. Fun times.

If harden was'nt traded okc would somehow managed to win a title

Still can’t believe they didn’t call that foul at the end of game 2. He even fouled Westbrook on that rebound RIGHT afterwards...

12:45 The ref signs the coach that the game is over HAHAHA

i think that this is the most forgettable finals ever

There is no player in history of the basketball game who gets so much help from reffs as lebron James....

MEMORIES!

How on earth did OKC have Durant, Harden, Westbrook, Sefalosha, & Ibaka... and NOT keep this team together? The only ones that have chips are Durant (injured now) and Ibaka.

Always nice to revisit this series.

Wade played pretty well in this series

KD was unreal in this series.

When they show Godfather Pat Riley standing up...STILL TO DIS DAY (Wilder voice 😂) I believe Pat stood up with his arms folded so the MOB could get a picture of all those OKC fans that are rubbing it in around him 😂😂😂😂😂💯

The series where Harden created his legacy as a playoff choker. You hate to see it 😂

Lebron to KD at 13:41, "Just do what I did, join a super team and you'll have one of these too"

Refs gave this Championship to the Heat, plain and simple

When kd was impossible to hate

As a Durant and Thunder fan at the time, this was when I knew Westbrook needed to go. His pace just blew too many games, KD was the best player but they could not finish games together. This was such a fun series and time for me in the NBA. My heart broke when they lost, and I truly cannot wait for KD to win in Brooklyn.

Big up to espn tv

I miss that sports center layout

WADE🔥🔥

12 yrs later & im still not over this. Thunder become a life long dynasty if they finish this season off

7:34 look at how fast wade was.

This was KD and Lebron both in their physical prime

That missed foul blew me kd should be at the line

Okc was just a young talent back then,if they were assembled even now they would have been over powered Kevin Durant,James harden,Russell Westbrook ,serge Ibaka,and more

Harden was nowhere to be found in this series smh

Gotdamn westbroook was 4-20 that game?!

Thanks you ESPN

11:26 man, fisher is a strong dude. he body block Lebron.

Get the facts straight... this is PRIME LEBRON DWADE BOSH vs 21-22 year old baby KD WESTBROOK AND HARDEN...

OKC was my favorite team for alot of years until it start to break apart with harden leaving and so on.

if you watched this live you remember how horrific and one sided the refs were for miami the entire series. miami was notorious for how they flopped during this time, they’d most likely win anyway but it wouldn’t have been in 5

“Charmers and Durant exchanging recipes.”😂

Thanks for the video

What kinda Goosebumps typa music is this

anyone notice the ref gave coach spo a high five??? @12:45

man 2010-2017 nba finals had the nicest jerseys and scoreboards

LeBron y Wade VS KD y Westbrook 🔥

Not saying this series was rigged, but that no call at the end of game 2 was literally the series. Game 3 and Game 4 was the same way. The Heat got away with so many over the backs and the refs gave Dwade and Lebron every call in those two games. I think if they called that foul in game 2,Durant hits those free thows, Thunder win, it's a 7 game series for real

The series that got James Harden traded

D wade: we fight! We fight! We fight! Let's go!

Okc had 3 future mvp in one team

Lebron learned well from 2011

OKC got Robbed

Man that heat team was a power house

If this line up still remain OKC must win a title with the BIG 3.

"Take that, Take that, Take that" diddy reference didn't age well 😂

Growing up my dad like pacers. And my other familey like the jazz. But growing up playing nba live. I'd always play with Gary Payton and later Ray Allen. So in this time frame this is when I became a thunder fan. Cause everyone was loving lebron

LeBron dominated. KD did the same in 2017. Both won 4-1.

The 2012 NBA Finals was a "Southern-style showdown" between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder, but, where were the Southern-style chicken and the Southern-style biscuits?

Man harden always never showed up in the playoffs

Remember This Series When I Was Younger… You Had 2 Big 3’s Goin @ It

Man we got into the playoffs Back -Back We we're to stacked But That KD Trade Ruined The Thunder But we still got into the playoffs back-to-back Then we traded ibaka. Then 2019 The Day Came We Had To Westbrook Traded To The Rockets With Harden But We Got Back Chris Paul Who Helped Us Got Us Into The Playoffs Again.Which Is Impressive. Can't forget Us Getting Carmelo And PG-13 But trading them both but we got Shai from the Pg13 trade And no one? From Carmelo trade.Then 2020 We Traded Steven Adams To The Pelicans For No One.

„Hate now, hate now...“

That boy Bosh has a lot of sugar in his kool-aid, did y'all see that celebration haha

Oh, and the Thunder had Kendrick Perkins (who already had a Chip)... AND... Derek Fischer (multiple Chips).

the age difference between the heat and the thunder was the major difference. All the stars on the thunder were 4-5 years younger than the heat. Think of all the experience the heat had

Hahah Howard being a “peacekeeper”

Still heartbroken.

Looking back KD, Westbrook and Harden were like 23 here. That's cool. Harden choked. But if you look at his role, he's a freaking 6th man. Imagine having Durant and Westbrook starting along with Ibaka , and still have Harden on the bench. Idk, I don't know how the Harden trade went down, maybe the front office didn't give it time, but that trio would've been fun to watch.

I wonder how today’s NBA would be if Thunder won this series

Maybe they shouldn't have traded Harden and let Ibaka go instead?

You know I ball just like the heat 🔥🔥🔥💯

I forgot how terrible harden was all series

The music sounds like something out of a Japanese anime RPG.

One of the biggest NBA mistakes for the Thunder to move of Harden. Imagine them keepkng Harden and then trading Westbrook for a great big man and a role player ?

Haters gonna say series was rigged

Why did I think that OKC pushed it to 6 games?

I LIKE TWO TEAM

11:21 Lebron couldn't do the typical thing with him haha

Thunder trio just weren't ready yet. They needed more time more chemistry. Too much competition in the west. They played in too many game 6s and 7s.

I LIKE PHILADELPHIA 76ERS AND I LIKE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

Prime GOAT

This is the 1st NBA Finals when neither team has a name ending with an s.

Nobody talks abt a young kd against bron wade bosh they only care abt 2017 2018 durant took his revenge imo

Prime lebron vs rookie KD

Is that a baby raptor in the thumbnail?

12:46 we gonna act like the ref didn’t just high five Spo😂😂😂

I miss this Heat team
