Miami Heat, Wade congratulate LeBron James, Cavaliers for winning NBA championship

After bolting Miami for Cleveland two years ago, LeBron James has helped the Cavaliers win their first NBA championship after beating the Golden State Warriors in a thrilling seven-game NBA Finals series. Just moments afterwards, Heat owner Micky Arison and former teammate and good friend Dwyane Wade, who was at the Oracle Arena to witness Sunday's game, were among the first to send their congratulations to James.
