By this spring, it was obvious Dwyane Wade regretted his choice to leave the Miami Heat for the Chicago Bulls. In fact, earlier this month it was already worth speculating about where Wade might jump to next after the Bulls inevitably buy him out. Sure, the Heat were a possible…
With Miami Dolphins training camp just a few days away, it’s time for South Florida to pay attention to a new-and-improved team doing big things in Davie. On July 27, the Dolphins officially start a season with more promise than any in recent memory. The Fins are…
This week, Miami was the epicenter of Major League Baseball as the 88th MLB All-Star Game descended upon Marlins Park. No one had been looking forward to the attention more than Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, who long pegged his taxpayer-robbing stadium deal on a pledge from MLB to bring the showcase to town.
Maybe you’ve had your attention squarely directed on the rumors swirling around the Miami Heat free-agency hunt. Maybe you’ve just been preoccupied with all the festivities that came with this week’s MLB All-Star Game. Or maybe you thought soccer in Miami was reserved for David Beckham-owned teams that will finally begin playing around the time you own a flying car.
You’ve undoubtedly heard of the Cannes Film Festival, the annual film-preview extravaganza held in Cannes, France. But have you heard of the Canine Film Festival? No? Well, it’s pretty much the same but with one small difference. You can probably guess what it is.
The 88th MLB All-Star Game takes place in Miami next week. Here are all the best events leading up to it.
Here’s the worst-kept secret in the NBA: Dwyane Wade is done playing basketball for the Chicago Bulls. After his hometown team traded Jimmy Butler to the Minnesota Timberwolves and waived Rajon Rondo, it’s obvious the Bulls will try to buy out his $23.8 million deal.
Bienvenidos a Miami, baseball fans! In honor of Marlins Park hosting the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Game July 11, we’ve compiled as many “game hacks” as we could find to make your experience that week a cheaper, hassle-free, more enjoyable one.
Over the weekend, the Miami Heat’s pursuit of Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward got personal — not for the Heat or Hayward, but for the cities involved in the chase for his services. Hayward reportedly has the Boston Celtics, Utah Jazz, and Miami Heat at the top of his list. One of those cities is definitely not like the other two.
Last Thursday night, the Miami Heat made Bam Adebayo, a 19-year-old, six-foot-ten, 260-pound power forward/center from the University of Kentucky the newest member of its little basketball club. For Heat fans who scoured mock drafts in the weeks leading up to the draft, this was one helluva curve ball. Few, if any, had Adebayo pegged as a potential Heat pick, making him a surprising, off-the-radar, head-scratcher selection.
Udonis Haslem is the last Miami Heat Mohican. He is the proverbial cockroach that survived a nuclear blast. If the Miami Heat’s roster over the past decade were a Hunger Games movie, the odds have definitely remained ever in U.D.’s favor.
Though it’s impossible to predict the unpredictable, here are five reasonable surprises Pat Riley could pull off during the NBA draft.
Did you hear LeBron James claim he has never played for a superteam? But he has. We were all there. We were all witnesses. For his comments, LeBron has rightfully caught some side-eye, as well as a hearty chuckle from Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who joked…
These fans deserve better. They really do. If you find a member of this dying breed, shake their hand and thank them for their service. Here are a few telltale signs you’re a real member of that exclusive club of real Miami Marlins fans.
Last year, Cuban-born Miami resident Yusnier Viera represented the 305 on Fox’s Superhuman, a contest show that lets ordinary people with extraordinary skills test their abilities against one another for the chance to win a massive cash prize. This year, Miami resident Nelson Dellis will take the Superhuman stage to compete against a new crop of supertalented contestants. There must be something in the South Florida water.
Dion Waiters went out of his way to make sure everyone knew that Miami is a different kind of franchise and that he owes a ton of credit to the organization for taking him from a player that surprisingly couldn’t find a deal last offseason to one that is highly coveted in this year’s free-agency period. The Heat makes players money. It’s what they do. It’s who they are. Sometimes the Heat pays those overachieving players to stay here, but sometimes the team looks for the next reclamation project instead.
At a time when almost no one can agree on anything, we all concur that proper hookups are awesome. Getting something you totally don’t deserve or didn’t pay for is great. No one can turn down more for less, especially if it means living the VIP life. The people behind Basement Miami, a dance-your-ass-off, seatless adult nightclub and playground located in South Beach, hook you up better than your bartender friend in college.
Alexander Sorondo likes movies. A lot. Probably more than you like almost anything in your life, at least anything that isn’t related to you by blood. The 25-year-old Miami native loves movies so much that he has taken on the challenge of watching, and writing an essay about, every movie that appears in the 2012 edition of Steven Jay Schneider’s 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. He calls it the “Thousand Movie Project,” and he’s inviting you to join him.
We are three games into the NBA finals, and to no one’s surprise, it looks as if the Golden State Warriors are simply on another level than every other team. With Kevin Durant already verbally committed to returning next season to the most dominant team in the NBA, it’s clear that for the foreseeable future, all roads to a championship lead through Oakland, California.
High-profile speakers will take the stage to discuss the future of medical marijuana at the inaugural Southeast Cannabis Conference & Expo (SECC Expo). The convention, which will run June 9 through 11 at the Broward County Convention Center, marks the first conference in Florida dedicated to medical marijuana since voters approved Amendment 2 for medicinal pot in November.
At one point last season, the Miami Heat held the projected second-overall pick in this year’s NBA draft. That’s what an 11-30 record gets you: lots of Ping-Pong balls and, if you’re lucky, a franchise-player building block to un-suck yourself right quick. What a miraculous 30-11 second half of the season gets you is a lot of good feelings, pats on the asses, and the 14th overall selection in the draft.
It’s only May, and already yet another Miami Marlins season is circling the toilet bowl. In the grand scheme of things, this is neither surprising nor all that troublesome. Few people in Miami are losing sleep over the Marlins’ nightly debacles. And those who do care have seen worse and in an odd way have come to embrace the fact that this is who they are — fans of an irrelevant baseball team counting down the days until the season is over.
