Miami-Dade, Oklahoma City mayors lay down bet on Heat vs. Thunder match-up
With the NBA Finals on the line, players and fans from the opposing cities traditionally start the trash talk — and so do the mayors.On Monday, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez and Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett made a friendly wager on the outcome of the NBA Finals, which kick off Tuesday night.Here are their bets:If the Miami Heat win the best-out-of-7 championship series, Mayor Cornett will ship to Miami-Dade premium steaks from Oklahoma.“I’m hungry for a nice Oklahoma steak, so hopefully our guys will go out there and bring back a trophy and dinner to go with it,” Gimenez responded. If the Thunder come out on top, Mayor Gimenez will ship South Beach’s famous Joe’s stone crabs “out to the Great Plains.” “I personally love stone crabs and can’t wait to enjoy them at the conclusion of the NBA Finals,” said a confident Mayor Cornett.“While we have a lot of respect for the Heat, we’re not anticipating having to place an order for some tasty Oklahoma beef. We’re looking forward to a great series.”Stay tuned...
