Brighton Bears was a British basketball team based in Brighton, Sussex. From 1984 to 1999 the club was known as the Worthing Bears and was based in the town of Worthing, 12 miles west of Brighton. The Bears played in the top-flight British Basketball League (BBL) until 2006 when the franchise folded. The final season was notable for the signing of former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who played three games for the Bears. The league's franchise for the Brighton-area, originally put on hold, was intended to be occupied by the Brighton Cougars from the 2008–09 season but the Cougars bid was rejected, with the league favouring rival candidate Worthing Thunder.

  • Brighton Bears war ein professioneller Basketballverein aus Brighton in England. Die 1973 in Brighton gegründeten Bears spielten von 1984 bis 1999 im benachbarten Worthing und fanden 1990 Aufnahme in die geschlossene Profiliga British Basketball League (BBL). Nachdem man von 1993 bis 1995 dreimal hintereinander die Play-offs der BBL gewonnen hatte, wechselte man 1999 nach einer enttäuschenden Spielzeit mit nur vier Saisonsiegen zurück nach Brighton. Am neuen und alten Standort gewann man noch zweimal den nationalen Pokalwettbewerb, den man bereits einmal 1994 gewonnen hatte, bevor man 2006 den Spielbetrieb trotz des Gastspiels des mehrfachen NBA-Champions und All-Stars Dennis Rodman in drei Spielen einstellte. 2008 nahmen mit den Worthing Thunder ein neues Franchise aus Sussex den Spielbet (de)
