The teams delivered in their first finals matchup, drawing the finals' highest TV ratings since 2004 to watch James outduel Durant for the Larry O'Brien trophy and the title as best player in the game.

So, how about doing it again?

"This is one of the best finals, when you talk about matchups, when you talk about everyone tuning in and wanting to see, because these are two teams that in the summer everyone said they should be in the finals," Wade said. "We lived up to the billing. They're going to be around for a while, and we would love to be around just as long and just as much."
