The marriage between HBO and Dwayne Johnson takes the next step Monday when Rock and a Hard Place, a documentary Johnson produced, airs on the channel. The documentary follows incarcerated juveniles looking to cash in on a second chance as they attempt to conquer and complete the Miami-Dade County Corrections & Rehabilitation Boot Camp…
Dr. Michael Salzhauer, one of the most famous and successful plastic surgeons in Miami, is also one of the camera-friendliest. He’s built his business in large part through viral videos and social media stunts. Now he’s taking the next logical step: starring in his own reality TV show. This Friday,…
Though Heat fans are incredibly unique and difficult to predict, we can still categorize them. Here are the five most common types found in Heat Nation.
Miami Heat fans were devastated when Dwyane Wade left for Chicago, but after the Heat’s miraculous turnaround season, would they even take him back in 2018?
Miami Heat fans love Dion Waiters. One could say Heat fans have fallen in love with him. These are the seven reasons why.
The Miami Heat are a fun team. How much fun? The most fun? Probably not, because LeBron James and winning championships and stuff was peak fun, but this season has been really dang fun. The fact that the word “probably” had to be placed in front of “not” in the previous sentence should be enough reason to question if the past two months of Heat basketball are real life.
When Stephen Ross and the Miami Dolphins dumped roughly a half-billion bucks into renovating Hard Rock Stadium, they promised the improvements would mean renewed interest not only from the NFL in hosting future Super Bowls in Miami, but also from other high-profile sporting events.
Imagine yourself tilted at a music festival this summer. It’s pouring, your cell service is spotty, and hours ago you let some dude with cool hair use your set sheet as a rolling paper. Now what? Easy. You stare at your forearm for a couple of seconds, point to the main stage, and elbow your way there. The who, what, when, and where are all right there on your skin, because you tattooed the entire festival lineup on your body at home.
When Wade left, Heat fans didn’t burn his jersey; they stood in lines for hours to buy more of them. And Wade? He misses the shit out of Miami even if he doesn’t openly say it. In subtle ways, he’s made that much abundantly clear. We’ve been keeping track, and here just a few of the cries for help Wade has sent out.
With every win on the court, it becomes increasingly likely that the Miami Hurricanes will punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament, better known as March Madness, or “the dance.” It’s exciting no matter how many times your school makes it into the 64-team tournament. For fans, there’s just something about the annual tradition of putting a Sharpie to your bracket in the hopes that your selections will make it seem as if you paid attention to college basketball all season. Sadly, you’re usually exposed as a know-nothing fraud early on as your teams, one by one, let you down. Bracket. Busted. Worthless piece of paper, meet waste basket.
Miami Heat fans are a spoiled bunch. They should know — most are also Dolphins fans who have waited nearly five decades for another Super Bowl win, so they are well aware that getting three titles in 11 years is legit good. Being a spoiled Heat fan, however, doesn’t mean you’re a bandwagon jumper. In fact, there’s a good argument that being spoiled makes you a better fan. This season is the proof.
Oliver Sanchez deserves a lifetime achievement award for his artistic contributions. For more than 50 years, Sanchez has been a fixture in Miami’s Design District. As the founder of Swampspace — a contemporary art space he founded in 2008 that is dedicated to providing an alternative venue to commercial galleries for artists — Sanchez has done more than merely contribute his art to the art community; he’s continually done his part to keep that community healthy, self-sustaining, and afloat.
The Heat has certainly got some bang for its buck in many players this season. Here’s a look at them.
For Miami artist Franky Cruz, art is more than something you stroll past in a gallery or gawk at in a museum. It’s a vital part of life as we know it. Without it, nothing would work properly.
Kings of Leon, Usher with the Roots, the Lumineers, and more than 100 other artists are set to take the stage at the Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival March 2 through 5. That’s cool, but another weekend of concerts won’t change the world no matter how hard you dab on the haters. Nope, come Monday, the world will continue unbothered by your epic dabs.
It’s that time of year again, when disgruntled quarterbacks and high-priced free agents are linked to the Dolphins because the Fins are always looking to throw money at a problem. But not this year, and definitely not at quarterback. Not with Ryan Tannehill’s knee declared fully healthy…
Asif Farooq, a contemporary artist and expert craftsman from Miami, is creating a life-size Soviet-era jet made entirely from paper and glue. So, yeah, you could say he doesn’t exactly shy away from a meticulous art project.
Here’s a tough question: Who’s the most recognizable face of South Florida sports today? For decades, that was an easy answer. First, it was Dan Marino. Then, even through the LeBron era, it was Dwyane Wade. These days, however, there’s no clear choice for the big dog of South Florida sports.
To celebrate its 40th year of LGBTQ awareness, Pride Fort Lauderdale (formerly South Florida Pride) is taking its annual festival from the cozy confines of Holiday Park to Fort Lauderdale Beach. This weekend’s Pride Fort Lauderdale — scheduled to be centrally located at 1100 Seabreeze Blvd., also the site of the Tortuga Music Festival — will be an expanded version of the free celebration of the LGBTQ community, supporters, and friends.
Pat Riley is fishing for a whale with his hands tied behind his back. Just imagine Riley strapped to a fishing chair, grasping a fishing rod between his toes, and trying to hook the biggest fish in the sea. Those are essentially the odds the Miami Heat president is faced with today if he’s to acquire a big-time NBA player before Thursday’s trade deadline.
Quietly over the past few months, a sky-high art installation has been under assembly in Wynwood, and now it’s ready to be unveiled. Hamanae by Bazbaz, a photographic art installation; and MKT by Bazbaz, a socially conscious marketplace featuring select local vendors, entrepreneurs, and artisans, will debut this Saturday, February 18, in Wynwood, and run through the weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
World-acclaimed Saudi Arabian female artist Manal AlDowayan is set to unveil her first solo exhibition, “I Am Here,” tomorrow at Rojas + Rubensteen Projects, a contemporary art gallery and community hub in Little River. Comprising photography, installation, and mixed media, AlDowayan says the show will explore what defines humans at the…
