MIAMI -- At last LeBron James walked away from his future.

MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade is injured, but on the night before his Miami Heat won the championship, he didn't care. He stayed at the gym until 1:30 a.m., working out with trainer Tim Grover. Then he went home and watched game film. Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder were not on the film. Wade watched Game 6 of last year's NBA Finals, when the Heat had melted down against the Dallas Mavericks. Wade went to bed at 4 a.m. By 8, he was on the phone with LeBron James.
