🎯 Strategy Tips for Puzzle #637

Lock down the famous Miami Heat roster first to clear out some of the most obvious individual names. From there, identifying the distinct baseball stadium names will help you easily parse the country prefixes from the shoe models.

⚠️ Red Herring Warning: NATIONALS looks like a general team nickname or a sports term, which might make you miss its connection to Washington's ballpark (NATIONALS Park). Similarly, SAMBA might tempt you toward musical or dance-related themes before recognizing it as a classic sneaker line.
