For the Boys and Girls Club in East Oak Cliff, Santa was an NBA champion. Harrison Barnes and his wife bought toys for every child: bicycles, remote control cars, dolls and signed basketballs. "I got a basketball with his signature,” 12-year-old Simon said. “So now when I go to the court, I'm going to be winning all the time." Several families also received gift cards to help pay for Christmas. (FOX 4 News)
