If the Miami Heat win the NBA Finals, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez will send Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett stone crabs.

But if the Thunder win, Gimenez will be getting steaks.

That's all according to a wager that two mayors made on Monday.

"I'm hungry for some nice Oklahoma steak, so hopefully our guys will go out there and bring back a trophy and dinner to go with it," Gimenez said in a statement. "If things don't go according to plan, then we'll be sending some delicious Florida stone crab from Joe's to our friends out on the Great Plains - may the best team win!"

"I personally love stone crabs and can't wait to enjoy them at the conclusion of the NBA Finals," Cornett said. "While we have a lot of respect for the Heat, we're not anticipating having to place an order for some tasty Oklahoma beef."

Game 1 is on Tuesday at 9 p.m.
