WHAT’S GOOD MIAMI: 7.28.26

Today's newsletter includes, Google quadrupling its Miami footprint as Larry Page and Sergey Brin plant their flags, a subscription private jet ticket for fleeing hurricanes, why the Florida Keys are quietly becoming Miami's Montauk, a rumor that a Nolita red-sauce legend Emilio’s Ballato is eyeing the former Stiltsville space in Sunset Harbor, LeBron James is joining the most dysfunctional family in Philadelphia, our hunt for Miami's most trusted doctors, and the pair of pants I can't stop talking about.

BEST OF MIAMI: Calling All Doctors, Calling All Doctors

Miami is a medical mystery. Concierge memberships that promise the world, hormone clinics on every corner, peptide protocols sold like nightclub bottle service — half this city can’t tell you if their doctor is legitimate or running a very well-branded hustle. So we’re cutting through the noise.

We’re building Miami’s list of the best, the doctors this city actually trusts, not the ones with the biggest billboard on 95. Every great physician here has a name that gets passed hand to hand, dinner table to dinner table, never advertised. That’s the list we’re building.

If you’ve got a doctor who changed how you think about your health, a surgeon, a specialist, a primary care doc who actually answers the phone, send them our way. This is word-of-mouth, formalized. Reach out and tell us who belongs on it.

On My Mind: LeBron James, the New Boss of the Philly Mafia

LeBron just walked into Philly like Tony Soprano walking into Satriale’s, everybody stands up straighter, nobody asks why he’s there, and somebody’s already making him a plate he didn’t order. Two years, vet minimum, for a guy worth half a billion dollars.

But here’s the problem, and I need you to sit with this for a second, Lebron didn’t walk into an empty house. He walked into a house that already has a dysfunctional family. Maxey. Kid’s been grinding, finally got his own spot, finally feels like a made guy, and now Uncle Tony’s at the table asking why the sauce isn’t ready. Then you got Junior in the corner, that’s Embiid, brilliant when he’s all there, but half the time he’s yelling about his knee and nobody can tell if he’s dying or just wants attention again.

Then Jaylen Brown shows up. And Jaylen Brown is not Paulie. Jaylen Brown is Janice.

You know Janice. Everybody’s got a Janice. Comes back into your life saying she’s changed, she’s found herself, she did yoga in Seattle, and within four episodes she’s shot somebody at the kitchen table over absolutely nothing. Doesn’t even remember why. “He was being disrespectful.” Tatum wasn’t being disrespectful, Janice! He asked if you wanted ketchup!

So now picture this. Second season, first month, everybody’s still learning where the bathroom is, and VJ Edgecombe looks at Jaylen Brown wrong during a shootaround. Nobody knows why. Kid was quiet, ran his sets, minded his business, and suddenly he’s frozen out of the offense like he insulted somebody’s dead mother. That’s not basketball. That’s Janice showing up to Thanksgiving already mad about something that hasn’t happened yet.

Here’s how this actually ends, and everybody in Philly already knows it in their bones. It goes up in flames by February. Embiid gets hurt, because Embiid always gets hurt. LeBron gets his money either way, cashes in on the Fanatics or Topps deal, and rides off looking exactly as unbothered as Tony Soprano always looked. Daryl Morey watches the whole thing from a safe distance with the quiet satisfaction of a man who already got paid. And Philly? Philly keeps doing what Philly does best, collecting one more heartbreak for the pile, muttering about how of course this happened to us, and starting the inferiority complex clock back at zero for next season.
