Heat Show Air-ogance

The only team talked about this summer, the Miami Threet, are above practicing at a gym. They need a grander stage, so they've been getting their Top Gun on, scrimmaging at a Florida Air Force base this week (we can't reveal the exact location, but it's off the highway to the danger zone). The setting is ironic, because the Air Force is known for employing stealth and there's nothing under-the-radar about this bunch. In the scant time they've been together, Bosh, Wade and LeBron have already hot dogged more than an Oscar Myer employee.

Maybe the motive is pure -- to display appreciation to a local branch of the military -- but it seems more like another way to call attention to themselves by doing something out of the ordinary to create a spectacle, which is unnecessary since this team has more coverage than a Muslim woman's wardrobe.
