Could Miami Heat be back in running for NBA All-Star Game? - South Florida Sun Sentinel

-

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE: Having hosted Stephen Curry during an Instagram Live session, former Heat guard Dwyane Wade said a regret remains never having had a chance to test his Big Three championship Heat against Curry's Splash Brothers championship Warriors, with Golden State's run of three titles beginning the year after the Heat's run of four consecutive NBA Finals ended in 2014. "I think we all have those moments," Wade said, "where you see great teams and you see great individual players and you're like, 'Damn, I would loved to have had a moment to have played against them in my prime.' So I just say that to say that, when you guys, shortly after the Big Three era, when we had the NBA, you guys took it over, and I was like, 'Damn, I would have loved to play them right now. That would be it.' " As it was, after those four Finals trips with the Heat, LeBron James did go on to play the next four Finals against the Warriors.

Tennis at the Olympic Games has delivered us some of the most incredible scenes in the sport's history.

Or Russia's domination of the women's singles medal podium in Beijing 2008, led by Elena Dementieva? Or Juan Martin del Potro's epic run to the Rio 2016 final, including wins over Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal?

Who will be Premier League top scorer in 2022/23? Betting odds, expert tips and predictions for Golden Boot - Sporting News

Winning the top scorer award in the star-studded Premier League is a tough enough proposition, but it's about to get even tougher in 2022/23. The top clubs are not standing pat when it comes to adding elite forward talent during the summer transfer window.  Last season, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Tottenham's Son Heung-min were engaged in a fascinating race for the golden boot that went down to the final day of the season. They ultimately shared the award, with Son bagging a brace on the final day of the season to momentarily take the lead, only for Salah to net late and catch the Spurs star. Those two will be firmly in the mix for this year's award as well, alongside a host of other contenders up and down the Premier League table. New Man City striker Erling Haaland joins the defending league champions as one of the world's most promising young strikers, while Son's teammate Harry Kane is a recent winner of the award and will look for yet another...
