At-risk kids in Las Vegas will have the chance to go toe-to-toe with basketball stars at a local camp.  For the "Hoops and Hugs" two-hour event, aspiring b-ball players can play ball with two-time Olympian (and former WNBA coach and player) Nancy Lieberman and former Chicago Bulls player (and assistant coach) Mike Brown.  We talk to Coach Lieberman and some young basketball players.
