                       DYCKMAN BASKETBALL IS BACK

  (Mr. ESPAILLAT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Dyckman 
basketball, the red carpet of streetball.
  In my district, basketball is everything to Dyckman. It is the 
opportunity to connect with friends and neighbors in fellowship and 
celebration of the vibrancy of our community.
  During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a halt in the 30-year 
tradition of the Dyckman summer basketball tournament, but I am here to 
tell you that Dyckman is back.
  Featured in the sports documentary ``Dyckman: The Comeback,'' the 
incredible team of Dyckman sports worldwide, CEO Ken Stevens and Sharon 
Bond, or Ms. B as she is known throughout the community, have poured a 
tremendous amount of love into the sport.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate them on their Emmy award-winning 
documentary, and I congratulate the dedicated Dyckman team.
  Dyckman basketball is back.
