Heat are gonna win the NBA Title and national folks who chose the Celtics are gonna be like, “I wasn’t wrong because the Celtics won the quarters in the ECF.” 😂
Is this a real quote?! Dude played in Miami once in front of over 19k ppl (capacity is 20k) - more than any Thunder home game. Now, I have to dislike Chet Holmgren? Random.
Chet Holmgren says he loves playing in Miami because the arena is always empty
“I like Miami, because it’s just like empty… As the away team you just got to build that lead in the first three quarters and then it just stays quiet for the fourth.”

National days are silly, but I deserve this one so bleep it - Happy National Cancer Survivors Day! 🎗 Counting down the days to that 5 year mark later this year!

Didn’t get smoked. Mia’s deal would’ve been better for future. They wanted to stick it to Miami, but in doing so, they stuck it to the star that’s been loyal for over a decade by refusing to send him where he wanted. The Mia hate will make ppl applaud this, but that’s all it is.
When I got diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago, I told myself that I would survive, thrive, make it to ESPN, and host a V Foundation show. Here I am. Today is that day. Please join us on ESPN+, ESPN Radio, ESPN app, and Sirius XM channel 80.

What a trip! I signed my first deal with ESPN back in 2019, but my first employee trip to Bristol made it a new kind of real. I’ve been grinding for fifteen years to get here, and I’ve got a lot of grinding left to do. But I’m here. With an employee badge and all 💃
I’m sorry but what in the actual hell?! They’re going to punish players for making a preferred trade destination known suddenly? Not AD to Lakers. Or KD to Suns. Now. Because Dame wants Miami. What is this nonsense

NBA sent a memo Friday to all 30 teams about Damian Lillard’s trade request and the stance that he only wants to play in Miami. Reporting details on

Ever since I've been a Dolphins fan (which hasn't been my whole life), I've been hearing fans & media want the franchise to end the mediocrity by trying something drastic. Now that's it's happening, all I'm seeing on my feed is a whole lot of whining.
I lost my beautiful mother yesterday after her short and courageous battle with brain cancer. Cancer has disrupted my life so much over the last few years it’s hard to understand, but my…
Aaron Rodgers has spent his livelihood working for a company that requires he wear his socks a certain height, his pants a certain way, & preapproves his accessories. But a rule requiring a mask at a presser is where he draws the line (& apparently, invokes MLK). The NFL is wild.
"I'm guaranteeing you right now: They will not get swept. Put that down, I'll go on the record...I'm very down on Mike Ryan. He comes off sounding like an ingrate...I don't think most Heat fans are on Mike's side." –

Was at ESPN Bristol 14 yrs ago for an audition & didn’t take a single pic of me there. I wanted to act like I’d been there before but I hadn’t, & haven’t been back since 😅 So, Kids, take the pics. This time hosting

This week marks 5 yrs from my cancer diagnosis, so today I’m thankful for hitting that milestone and for my health. And for my fam jam. And the Gators. And the Heat. And kind of the Dolphins. And not really at all the Marlins. And everyone who listens when I speak. Ya’ll rock.
Today, I announced I’m leaving 790 after 5 incredible years. I’m going to sincerely miss everyone at 790, and the listeners who have supported the hell out of me during my time here. Thank you!
Just think how historic it will be when a 5th seed without 2 of its most important players, and its most important player playing on a hobbled ankle, wins the NBA Title over the best player in the World. The greatest title run in NBA history. It’s all falling into place, Guys.
These guys are not only two of my favorite ESPNers, but they have a radio show starting Jan 3rd (& oh btw, so do I!). “Fitz and Harry” comes at you 12-3p weekdays, with “Joe and Amber” headed your way 7-9p et 🍾
My dog just ran out of the room in fear of my aggressive cheering and honestly, toughen up, Tux. This is Miami Heat playoff basketball. Mommy isn’t sorry.

driving to my cancer hospital. I get reg screenings as a survivor, but this was 1st in yrs I had a scare. Everything was clear, but this is a reminder to get checked if anything seems off! Now! Never let fear of results cost you your life! Handle it 💪🏼
The consensus seems to be the Blazers did Lillard a favor by sending him to a team he didn’t want to go to because that team is good (got bounced in the 1st rnd). As opposed to sending him to the team he wanted to go to because that team…isn’t good?? (was in the NBA Finals) 🤔
Not having the

on 790 feels like the end of an era. It doesn't feel right. That show IS 790 and is the best there is. That being said, they are now on directly against us so, sayonara 'itches! It's MY 790, now!
Right now the plan is for us to do the final local hour (as presently constituted) on 790 The Ticket on Monday morning. Entercom is giving us the opportunity to say goodbye to that frequency and we’re going to take them up on that offer. - An obviously disappointed Mike Ryan
Tua gave voice to what we all knew in Miami locally for years. Flores did everything to ruin the 5th overall pick his first couple yrs in the League. It was gross mismanagement that went on for a lot longer than the Urban Meyer excuse I always hear re Lawrence.
Dream team! ❤️ SO much fun on First Take with this crew today! Appreciate all the kind messages I’ve gotten (and even the not so kind ones….hiiiii Packers Nation 😘)
The reality is this suit is not strong w/legal claims. Surviving a MTD, alone, will be tough. However, Flores is winning in the court of public opinion. Likely, putting public pressure on the NFL to effect change is the purpose of filing this, & Flores’ ensuing media tour.
Thanks for all the kind words I’ve gotten today! So appreciate everyone who watched me on First Take! If you aren’t sick of me yet, I’m still hosting Canty and Carlin today 3-4:30 on ESPN Radio, and KJM tomorrow 6-10a on ESPN 2 and ESPNU.
So Fla is lucky to have a voice like

was doing it first and blazing these paths for the rest of us.
I just toured a molasses plantation on St Lucia where black slaves were forced to work in a sweltering room w/fire & steam & no ventilation. They were routinely beat w/sea water thrown on their open wounds. Most died. Yet, this guy thinks wearing a mask to Target is slavery 🤦🏼♀️⬇️
A group of protesters gathered outside a courthouse in Plantation to take a stand against mask mandates, as a hearing was held for the people who were cited for parading through a Target store last year.

Dreams come true, Guys. It might take 20+ years and be a winding path, but if you grind and don’t give up, DREAMS COME TRUE! My name on my own show on ESPN. A childhood dream realized. So many happy tears. Thanks to everyone who supported me on this journey all along the way!

I'm so thirsty for free agency that I'm hanging on to Stephen A saying Lebron is in Miami with Riley while watching LeBron posting on IG jumping off a rocky cliff. Miami fans trying to convince themselves a 30 ft rocky cliff exists in flat ass South Florida 🤣🤷🏼♀️
Just your little reminder that gun control works in every other developed country in the entire world. They aren't less mentally ill than America. America is great. But their mentally ill, violent, angry & deranged have less access to fire arms. That's it. 🤷🏼♀️
Keeping this a secret the last four months has been challenging, so I had a brilliant idea to use the dogs to finally announce our big news and welp, scroll to see how that went 😂 Our zoo…
Another close win means another edition of “Amber watches a Heat game” (even though I asked

NOT to take pics in the Finals). Sitting. Standing. Pacing. Cheering. Channeling Meyers Leonard. I helped!
Shakira is 43. J Lo is 50. Don’t ever let outdated sexist stereotypes make you fearful of aging, Ladies. 50 isn’t the new 40, it’s just 50 and damn it looks good.
You can't see me on radio, but just know this is what I look like tonight during Joe and Amber. You're welcome, America. Tune in 7-9:30pm tonight (a bonus :30 of us) on ESPN Radio, the app, and Sirius XM channel 80. GO HEAT 🔥🔥
I don't mean to be this girl but, if I was just listening to the call, I'd think the Lakers had the lead all half. Now queue the halftime show where they, also, praise the Lakers with the Heat winning.
