LeBron James is taking his talents to Wynwood. Unfortunately for Miami Heat fans, those skills won’t include the chest-pounding, buzzer-beating, basketball-unicorn variety they’d prefer.

Welcome to the deadest of the dead time in South Florida sports history. That’s right now. It’s happening. Well, actually nothing is happening, which is the historic part.

Tyrese Cooper, an 18-year-old who’s one of the ten fastest mid-distance runners in the world, was arrested for trying to steal cars at Miami International Airport. Now he might not be able to take part in this weekend’s state tournament in Jacksonville.

Leading up to the NFL Draft, there was massive speculation the Dolphins might be in the market for a quarterback in the first round if things went their way. With Ryan Tannehill coming off 19 months on the shelf after a pair of knee injuries, and his contract only getting pricer…

This Thursday, the 83rd-annual NFL Draft will kick off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which means the Miami Dolphins are about to add some new employees. For Fins fans, the draft sparks both good and bad memories. There’s getting Dan Marino in 1983, and then there is, well, nearly everything else.

Breaking news: The Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers do not particularly care for each other. If that fact wasn’t already confirmed before the Heats’s disappointing 128-108 loss to the Sixers Thursday night, it certainly is now. There are intense playoff games; then there are games that border on a Jason Statham movie.

Many NFL teams have made regrettable draft picks, but if you ask Miami Dolphins fans, no team has made more draft blunders than their team. For as long as Fins fans can remember, the NFL Draft has represented an annual shot of hope that predictably comes with months of disappointing chasers.

Stop it. Just stop. LeBron James isn’t returning to the Miami Heat this summer. Don’t believe the hype. Don’t entertain the noise the talking heads on ESPN are yelling at your television screen. Don’t click the articles (other than this one!). Just don’t waste your time. It’s not happening. And…

Being a Heat fan is so glorious we’ve put together a list of our favorite things about it.

This time last year, Miami Heat fans had no idea what to do with their hands. Since 1992, when the Heat first made the playoffs, the team has missed the postseason on only five occasions. Last year was one of those dark moments. Still high off the LeBron James-fueled years of annual NBA Finals appearances and butt-clenching playoff runs, fans felt weird knowing American Airlines Arena sat empty in May and June.

The Marlins’ five-year plan to win a championship looks much better than the Dolphins’.

Meet the new Miami Marlins! To say a few things have changed since last season would be a Giancarlo Stanton-sized understatement. It would be like taking a two-week vacation to get a bunch of plastic surgery done on your face, then coming back and pretending nothing happened. On…

With fewer than a dozen games left in the season, the Heat seems a virtual lock to make the playoffs after a one-year hiatus from the postseason. What seed the Heat will capture and the identity of Miami’s first-round opponent, though, are still very much up in the air. Whichever team the Heat draws…

There are definitely pros and cons that come with being a fan of each South Florida team. Here are a few that any true believer knows all too well.

Victor Díaz de León slices through Biscayne Bay in a craft that looks more insect than boat, with a small sail and a pair of wings extending from a narrow carbon-fiber hull. As he glides at breakneck speed past downtown Miami’s skyline on a gray February afternoon, the vessel abruptly…

Miami Dolphins fans deserve better. Or worse. But not this. Not the in-between place. The latest example of the Dolphins taking one step forward and one and a half steps back came Friday when they traded Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns in return for two draft picks.

At Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, students are only in their second week back in class since the massacre that killed 17 classmates and teachers. It’s still a powerfully emotional time for the hundreds of survivors trying to return to normalcy in the place where they lived through the worst day of their lives.

Wade should play at least one more season with the Heat. Here’s why.

Skateboarding came to Cuba in the early ’80s, when Soviet soldiers, doctors, and students brought boards to the communist island. Intrigued, kids in Havana soon began riding, using boards handmade from plywood or smuggled in from abroad. Though the sport was seen as rebellious and countercultural even in America, and the Cuban regime frowned upon it, a small but vibrant skate scene took hold.

The first Miami Marlins spring training of the Derek Jeter era kicked off last week at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter. That much we know happened. Who actually played in the tune-up games for the Marlins is largely a mystery we are still trying to solve. When a team trades the NL MVP…

This time, Derek Jeter has gone too far. Marlins fans remained relatively quiet when he sold off all of our favorite players to other teams for prospects. We didn’t like it, but most of us understood there was a process in action.
