It's been more than 20 years since the Michigan Wolverines first trotted out five freshman stars nicknamed "The Fab Five." But, despite the hoopla, they never won a NCAA Championship, but the last member still active in the NBA now has his championship ring.
For the 2012 Miami Heat, their destiny as champions was born in 2008 at the Olympics and then put into place in the summer of July 2010 when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh joined forces to chase an NBA Championship.
It took around two years, but Thursday night after a completely dominating performance by the Miami Heat, LeBron James and the rest of the Big Three finally won the NBA Championship with a dominating 120-104 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Game 7. The simple mention of it strikes fear in some fans and ignites others to cheer louder than they ever thought they could. Saturday night, the Miami Heat and 20,000 of their closest friends will face the Boston Celtics at the AmericanAirlines Arena for all the marbles in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals.
The Miami Heat need Chris Bosh on the court to have any shot of winning Game 7 and the NBA Finals. But Bosh isn't worried if he's starting or not, as long as he gets to play.
It was just two years ago when Miami Heat superstar LeBron James walked off the court in Boston and removed his Cleveland Cavaliers jersey for the final time after suffering an ugly series ending loss at the hands of the Celtics.
