Kent Bazemore and several other members of the Atlanta Hawks clubhouse share a well-reported love of Uno. It's so real that Bazemore set up a tournament for the card game this summer as part of a charity fundraiser. Though adults also competed, the eventual champion of the Aug. 7 event was 11-year-old Gracie Weeks.
Her prize? This sweet belt.

It's nice to see children winning games of chance against NBA players, instead of being taunted by mercurial point guards.
