  • Adebayo Named to NBA All-Defensive First Team

    The NBA announced today that Bam Adebayo was named to the 2023-24 NBA All-Defensive First Team, earning the third-most points with 168 (73 First Team votes and 22 Second Team votes). This marks the 19th time in team history a HEAT player has earned All-Defensive honors, including the sixth on the First Team. Adebayo has now become just the third player in team history to earn First Team honors, joining LeBron James (three times) and Alonzo Mourning (twice). It is his fifth consecutive NBA All-Defensive Team selection, the most selections in franchise history. Adebayo, who finished third in Defensive Player of the Year voting this season, appeared in 71 games (all starts) and averaged 19.3 points, a team-high 10.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.14 steals and 34.0 minutes while shooting 52.1 percent from the field. Adebayo helped anchor a defense that ranked third in points allowed per game, opponent field goals made per game and opponent offensive rebounds per game. He helped the HEAT hold opponents to under their scoring average in Miami’s final 29 games, doing so by an average of -11.4 points per game over that span, the third-longest streak in NBA history. Adebayo led the team in rebounds a team-high 53 times, in blocks a team-high 29 times and in steals on 16 occasions while setting single-season career bests in defensive rebounds, total rebounds and double-doubles. He became the first player in franchise history to record at least 15 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and six blocks in a single game, doing so on January 24 vs. Memphis. He then posted 15 points, 16 rebounds and five steals on March 24 vs. Cleveland, becoming just the second player in team history to hit at least those totals, joining only Glen Rice in 1993. He also grabbed a season-high 20 rebounds, including a career-high 18 defensive rebounds, in a win on January 15 at Brooklyn. Adebayo posted at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in five-straight games twice, first from November 6th through the 14th and again from January 5th through the 14th, becoming the only player to accomplish the feat multiple times in the same season and just the third player in team history to ever do so in at least five games, joining only LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal. 2023-24 NBA ALL-DEFENSIVE FIRST TEAM 2023-24 NBA ALL-DEFENSIVE SECOND TEAM By ML Staff.

  • Celebrating Pride Month: Dennis Docil

    Dennis Docil’s tennis journey began around the early age of 6, inspired by his father who introduced him and his siblings to the sport. Growing up, tennis was a family affair, as Dennis, his sister, and brother learned the game together. This early exposure helped grow the lifelong love and passion of tennis and Dennis hasn’t looked back. Playing much throughout his life, tennis helped push Dennis to meet new people and stay active in a new environment. As someone who didn’t know anyone when he moved to Fort Lauderdale, he was able to turn to tennis to help create lasting friendships and memories. “I knew if I went to the local tennis courts, I could find a pick-up game and make friends,” he said. “And that’s exactly what happened. I’ve made so many lifelong friends through tennis.” The LGBTQ+ community has also had a significant and positive impact on Dennis’s life, particularly through tennis. Years ago, Dennis wasn’t happy with his level of play and it was an everyday grind that was draining him. So, for about eight years he put down his racquets, but the LGBTQ+ community was able to rally back his passion and drive for tennis. “After a while away from the sport, I had heard about a friendly Sunday round robin that the local LGBTQ+ tennis organization holds,” he recalled. “I needed to exercise so I went one Sunday, and I met so many amazing people, got roped into a USTA team as well as a doubles ladder that I still play in. I credit the South Florida Tennis Club for my return to tennis and I couldn’t be more thankful.” Not only did the South Florida Tennis Club help bring him back to tennis, they helped him be his true self. “I was closeted when I first moved to Fort Lauderdale, but being a part of the South Florida Tennis Club made it very easy to be myself on the tennis court,” he said. “Fort Lauderdale in general makes it easy to be gay.” The inclusive and accepting nature of the club and the Fort Lauderdale community provided Dennis with the support he needed. Tennis has not only been a personal passion for Dennis but also a bridge connecting him to the LGBTQ+ community. Many of his tennis teammates are part of the LGBTQ+ community, forming a significant part of his social circle. “We have USTA teams that are 95% gay. I compete in the Clay Court Classic, which is hosted by the South Florida Tennis Club and it’s one of the biggest Gay tennis tournaments in the country, if not the largest one,” he said. “It attracts tennis players from all over the world and it’s played right here in my backyard.” For those in the LGBTQ+ community looking to get involved in tennis, Dennis offers some great advice. “If you have an interest in tennis, go ahead and sign up for a group lesson. There isn’t a better sport that you can play well into your later years in life,” he said. “Starting tennis will turn into a lifelong hobby and you will improve your health by doing it.” To those hesitant about coming out, Dennis offers hope, encouragement, and support. “Coming out is such a personal decision, everyone must do it in their own way and time. I do say that the air is so much fresher on this side of the closet and there are so many people that will love and support you when you do come out.” For Dennis, Pride means showing love and support to the LGBTQ+ community and offering hope to those still in the closet. “Show your love and support to our LGBTQ+ brothers, sisters, and anyone that needs support,” he said. “For people that may be scared or hesitant to come out, the Pride flag is a symbol of safety and hope. I know that when I was in the closet, seeing a rainbow sticker on someone’s car gave me so much hope.” Reflecting on his tennis journey, Dennis is filled with gratitude. “I owe so much to the sport of tennis. It has given me a lifelong passion and countless friendships. The memories I have on the tennis court from the first time I hit a good serve to the epic battles my husband and late mother used to have on the court, and the countless times my family would play tennis and laugh more than we hit a ball are my most precious memories.” Today, his passion for tennis is reflected in his participation in USTA teams and local doubles competitions, where he enjoys a fair share of victories and camaraderie with friends, while being his true self!

  • Vacheron Constantin's Grand Lady Kalla: A Versatile Jewellery Watch Returns

    A creation reflecting the Maison’s long and rich history of jewellery and pendant watches. A piece that comes to life thanks to the meticulous savoir-faire: a mantle of light, embroidered with 57 facets emerald-cut diamonds on the watch; along with diamonds, Akoya and onyx pearls on the pendant. A high-jewellery and versatile timepiece composed of 268 diamonds, for more than 46 carats. Creativity as its best:  a timepiece composed of a watch and a tassel sautoir that can be worn in four different ways. The powerful bond between Vacheron Constantin and women has been forged throughout the Maison’s uninterrupted activity since its founding in 1755. Right from its early years – the oldest gemset piece in its private collection dates from 1812 – the Manufacture has cultivated creativity imbued with elegance matching fine craftsmanship in the realm of Haute Joaillerie. The Grand Lady Kalla now adds a dazzling new chapter to this tradition. Based on the design of the iconic Kalla introduced in 1980 – itself heir to the Kallista unveiled in 1979 – the new timepiece offers several ways of wearing it. A luminous treasure born from the virtuoso pairing and setting of more than 46 carats of exclusively emerald-cut diamonds, this model is an outstanding example of Vacheron Constantin's creative freedom and expertise. A tribute to history In 1979, Vacheron Constantin made watchmaking history with the Kallista, whose opulence – starring 130 carats of diamonds – was matched only by the innovation of Raymond Morretti's design, a geometric rivière carved out of a solid gold ingot from which the watch's 140 grams were drawn. Issued as a single-piece edition, it was the world’s most expensive watch creation. Its descendants were no less spectacular, as exemplified by the Kalla unveiled in 1980. Also sculpted from a block of 18K yellow gold sparkling with 108 emerald-cut diamonds totalling around 30 carats, the watch became so iconic that it inspired an eponymous collection whose singular creations have earned unanimous acclaim. One notable example is the white gold Lady Kalla with a satin strap, which won the Jewellery Watch award at the first Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2001. Nine years later in 2010, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Lady Kalla, the Lady Kalla Flamme was presented, glowing with the fire of 57-facet diamonds and inaugurating the Flame cut, devised by Vacheron Constantin and duly approved by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America). In 2024, the Grand Lady Kalla honours the name that inspired it, the Greek word kallista meaning "the most beautiful". From the first sketch in the design studio to the final polishing operation, the new creation embodies a wealth of superlatives. The subtlety of the adjustments is matched by their virtuoso execution. The 57 facets of the emerald-cut diamonds chosen for this new piece underline their crystal-clear clarity. Slightly slimmed down to reflect contemporary tastes, the dial is distinguished by the meticulous work of the master gem-setter who has  adorned it with modernised prongs. Reduced to a minimum to provide space for the hands, they are triangular on the bracelet and case middle to highlight the stones; or pyramid-shaped to form the Maison’s iconic Maltese cross sparkling in the light. The sautoir necklace featuring onyx and diamonds, as well as Akoya pearl tassels chosen for their luster and their roundness, creates an appealing dialogue between Art Deco and the 21st century. A jewel on the wrist. Emerald-cut diamonds, Akoya and onyx pearls A veritable Haute Joaillerie masterpiece, the Grand Lady Kalla testifies to the determination to pass on excellence that has consistently driven the Maison. The elegance of the emerald cut, which requires a perfectly pure crystalline material, is amplified by the beauty of the pairing. No less than 131 diamonds have been meticulously selected by the Maison’s gemmologists to ensure a harmonious match in terms of colour, clarity and luminosity. The extreme precision of the setting, given the sharp angles of the emerald cut, allows the stones to express their true nature. Their broad flashes of light create a fascinating sparkle bringing special radiance to the design. The art of the Maison’s jewellers is also expressed on the sautoir necklace, whose mobile ornament paved with 15 diamonds for over 12 carats features a superb centre stone GIA-certified over 2 carats. This transformable jewellery piece can be worn both on the necklace and on the bracelet. One watch and one tassel sautoir, four original ways to wear them Comprising a watch and a sautoir necklace, the Grand Lady Kalla is a playful, contemporary invitation to glide stylishly from wrist to neckline and back. The quartet of wearability options afforded by this timepiece chimes with the creativity characterising the history of Vacheron Constantin for more than two and a half centuries. This expertise is vividly illustrated by ladies' pendant watches such as the 1924 model featuring a removable fastening system serving to transform the platinum pendant set with rubies, emeralds, onyx and diamonds into a brooch.A century later, the Maison has quadrupled this transformability, embedding it firmly in the present era. The Grand Lady Kalla thus instates a jewellery dialogue between a watch entirely set with diamonds and a sautoir necklace combining diamonds and Akoya pearls contrasting with onyx beads. The watch can be removed from the bracelet to be replaced by the jewel element gracing the sautoir necklace. The latter can in turn accommodate the watch, reviving the elegant gestures of the early 20th century, when women glanced at the time using their fingertips, by touching their sautoir. To ensure perfect alignment with contemporary styling, the master artisans of the Manufacture have deployed their mastery in such a way that the Grand Lady Kalla can be very easily transformed in an entirely tool-free way. From Geometry to Artistry, Vacheron Constantin annual theme A Vacheron Constantin watch is far more than merely the sum of its parts. Starting from a sketch, a geometrical drawing and its technical extensions, a whole world of shapes, colours and textures is born. The complex structures of mechanical engineering combine with design; meticulous detail gives life to grace; artisanal intelligence sparks emotions. Based on formal, mathematical study, Vacheron Constantin timepieces are thus endowed with a touch of soulfulness and elegance representing the ultimate expression of artistic talent. The classicism of the Traditionnelle collection; the minimalism of the Patrimony watches; the allure of Égérie; and the sporty-chic spirit of Overseas, all vividly illustrate this alchemy within which artistry is inspired by geometrical shapes, expressed through Vacheron Constantin's 2024 theme.
