South Florida has never had a bigger sports summer than the one born the night of July 9, 2010, when Miami held its breath as a basketball player announced, “I'm gonna take my talents to South Beach.”
That likely won't be topped as a singular moment, but, for variety and breadth of magnitude, the summer almost upon us could be transcendent.
Co-headlining our blockbusters: Miami hosting its first MLB All-Star Game July 11, and Real Madrid and Barcelona – soccer's El Clasico – filling Hard Rock Stadium July 29.
The opening act will include wrestling's WWE Summer Slam June 9 and the Heat's foray into NBA free agency commencing July 1.
