The Miami Heat are celebrating the first of "not one, not two, not three" NBA title reigns today. Even if Derrick Rose was healthy, the Bulls would have been also-rans the way LeBron James dominated the playoffs. But at least we still have Taj Gibson's dunk over Dwyane Wade in last year's Eastern Conference Finals to keep us cool at night.

Stacey King would be posting that to Facebook on a daily basis, if he could get away with it. Anyway, Gibson turned 27 on Sunday and his friend/gofer Floyd "F-Sharp" Johnson decided to have the moment immortalized in cake form.

Johnson turned to Tipsycake to create this tribute for Gibson's birthday, which takes some liberties with the original scene. For example, Wade was much closer to Gibson than he's depicted in the cake. That' why dunks like Gibson's are called 'posters." And better to immortalize this as a confection than D-Rose's ACL tear.
