Dhafir Harris, AKA Dada 5000, king of back-yard fights, has plenty to be thankful for. Three years ago, the Perrine native decided being a member of Kimbo Slice’s entourage wasn’t for him, so he set out to become the P.T. Barnum of Miami’s back-yard fighting circuit. We chronicled the early…
The Heat’s LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are about to embark on a “homecoming tour” of charity games with several other NBA stars.
