Rumors are spreading around Big D today about the possibility of a bikini basketball team coming to the area!
We never get tired of watching families reunite after long tours of duty in the military. Watch what happens when this Marine returns from Afghanistan and surprises his little brother with a public reunion in front of his B-ball buddies.

Kobe Bryant made a pretty bold statement a few days ago when he said this year's men's Olympic basketball team could beat the 'Dream Team' from 20 years ago. The 1992 team included players like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and one Mr. Larry Bird. Larry responded to Kobe on the Indiana Pacers Twitter page.
