Basketball season is back, and thankfully, that means the greatest of all time is back, too.

No, we don't mean LeBron James or Steph Curry. We mean the true GOAT of halftime shows, Red Panda. The high-riding, bowl-kicking super star had her season ended abruptly in July thanks to a scary fall and ensuing wrist fracture, but Rong "Krystal" Niu has made a comeback.

Red Panda, who is known for her thrilling halftime act of kicking an improbable number of bowls onto her head while riding a unicycle, sustained her injury during the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final over the summer. On Thursday night, she returned in style, impressing the crew on NBA on Prime with her routine.

Red Panda's return, especially with the NBA already back and college basketball right around the corner, is the best news possible for fans. Hopefully she's back to full-form soon, and will be making an appearance at an arena near you.
