    Beyoncé expresses interest in owning a piece of the Houston Rockets

    Entertainment icon and Houston native Beyoncé is reportedly interested in buying a stake in the Houston Rockets. According to Bloomberg, Queen B, a huge basketball fan, is entertaining the idea of investing in our hometown NBA team.

    In July, Rockets owner Les Alexander announced that he is looking for a potential buyer for the Rockets, which could sale for as much as $2 billion.

    Alexander purchased the Houston Rockets for $85 million in 1993.

    Beyoncé would join the ranks of several other celebrity sports team owners, including Justin Timberlake, who owns a share of the Memphis Grizzlies. And Venus Williams, her sister Serena Williams, and Jennifer Lopez all own part of football’s Miami Dolphins.

    Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, a Brooklyn native, once owned a small percentage of the New Jersey Nets. He sold his share after starting Roc Nation, which represents athletes. The couple have often been seen on the front row at Nets games.

    Others who have expressed interest in owning a piece of the Rockets are Tilman Fertitta, Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, and former Rockets great Yao Ming.

    How to watch Simone Biles and all Texans competing at the Paris Olympics

    Houston's Simone Biles has her eye on a few gold medals at the Paris Olympics.

    It’s finally time to light the cauldron and let the 2024 Summer Olympic Games begin.

    The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad will run July 26-August 11 in Paris, and the Lone Star State has some of its biggest superstar athletes competing for Team USA. In fact, of the nearly 600 American athletes on the team, more than 40 hail from Texas.

    They include major headliners like Houston’s Simone Biles, Dallas’ Sha’Carri Richardson, San Antonio’s Fred Kerley, Austin's Gabby Thomas, along with the youngest member of Team USA, 16-year-old Plano gymnast Hezly Rivera, and a competitor in the all-new sport of breaking, Jeffrey "B-boy Jeffro" Louis of Houston.

    There are as many ways to watch these hometown hopefuls as there are reasons to cheer them on. Here’s a basic primer on Olympic broadcast and streaming coverage from Paris (which is seven hours ahead of Texas):

    • All coverage will be on NBC-owned channels, streaming services, and sites, including USA, E!, CNBC, The Golf Channel, and Telemundo.
    • Every event will be streamed live via Peacock (PeacockTV.com/Olympics), as well as NBCOlympics.com, the NBC app, and the NBC Olympics app. Peacock makes it easy to search by sport, save events to “My Stuff,” and set reminders.
    • NBC will carry at least nine hours of live event coverage starting each morning and continuing into the afternoon. Primetime in Paris will show competitions in the evening, and late-night coverage will continue after local news.
    • Full event replays will be available on the NBCOlympics.com Replays hub.
    • A guide at NBCOlympics.com schedule page can be filtered by sport, event, top athletes and topics like Must See, Team USA, Top Stars and Medal Events. There's also a toggle to show schedule info for "TV & Digital" or "TV Only."
    • Find more information about special shows, hosts, and more here.

    Below is a list of every Team USA athlete who calls Texas home, by birth or current residence — and at least one way to watch their qualifying events live. (Note that: 1. The list does not include every Texas college athlete or those representing other countries, 2. Information is as of press time; check listings for most up-to-date information, and 3. Yes, soccer and rugby really do start two days early, on July 24.)

    Now, on your mark, get set, Go Team USA!
