GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA (WOFL FOX 35) – A group of Florida kids who appeared in a viral video shooting hoops with a police officer got a huge surprise: a brand new basketball court and a visit from Harlem Globetrotter Anthony “Buckets” Blakes.
Life around the basketball just keeps getting better and better for the group of nine Gainesville kids, thanks to Gainesville Police Department’s “Basketball Cop,” Officer Bobby White.
In January, 16-year-old Tyree Thomas and his eight friends were playing basketball in front of a home, when someone called to complain to the police that the children were being too loud.
