NCAA Basketball Rivalry Week started off with two huge games: Georgetown vs. Syracuse and Duke vs. UNC. While both games came down to the wire, the Orange and the Blue Devils earned bragging rights for the rest of the year. The schools showed just one of the reasons that Rivalry Week is so great: everyone on the court cares about every minute of every game. Of cou… Click to read more

This video of an Amasian (amazing Asian) sensation comes to us via Gizmodo. The girl’s YouTube Name is OhISeeRED and according to her profile, she’s an artist who loves to paint, but without a paintbrush. Red is her nickname (she needs to battle Morgan Freeman’s character from Shawshank Redemption), she was born and raised in Borneo and… Click to read more

This past summer COED previewed what looked to be the biggest sports game of the year in NBA 2K12. Needless to say it has not disappointed – hours of my life and COEDitor Ned’s have been spent dueling via XBox Live. Sports games already have great re-playability but NBA 2K12 took it to the next level with their Legends Showcase add-on. We got a chanc… Click to read more

Throughout the history of the National Basketball Association, there have been moments that are etched in the minds of fans from Magic’s baby hook, Larry Bird’s steal against the Pistons, and Michael Jordan’s game winner against the Utah Jazz. These 15 moments aren’t exactly from that class, they’re the ones  deemed strange and/or bizarre. We’ve listed plays that include Shaquille O’Neal, Derek Harper, the 1999 Chicago Bulls and a guy by name of Dennis Rodman.

Yes, it’s finally here. You’ve been hoping and waiting for this day to come for months now and it’s finally come. No, I’m not talking about Christmas, dummy, I’m talking about the start of the NBA season. We’ll let you open these NBA cheerleader gifts somewhat early because we’re like the cool, single uncle of the family. Check out hotties after the jump!

Everyone’s got their end-of-the-year lists, from top albums to best movies to weirdest news stories. But if you’re a sports fan – especially football or basketball – and you watch a ton of games on TV, there’s one aspect of the broadcast that ALWAYS stops you in your tracks. Yeah, you guessed it. The cheerleader. She’s a special breed of woman whose moves and megawatt smile make your face melt. Hope you got your nostalgia knickers on because we’re takin’ a stroll back through 2011 for a retrospective on the year’s hottest, most intriguing cheerleaders.

Every Thursday, we feature the latest and greatest demotivational posters to hit the cybersphere. Last week, we counted our blessings with a feast for the eyes – Thanksgiving-themed demotivational posters. This week, to celebrate the end of the NBA Lockout (which no one will appreciate until June), we’ve assembled the most ballin’ basketball related demotes (that’s short for, yeah, you get it). Check them out in the gallery after the jump.

Earlier in the month, we told you about Rick’s Cabaret launching a new all-dancer basketball league. Today, the gentleman’s club announced that former NBA slam dunk champion Spud Webb has signed on to be the head coach of the NYC team. We were lucky enough to attend the announcement and snap off a couple pics of the newly anointed leader with his squad. Check ‘em out along with a video of the NYC team’s starting lineup after the jumpshot.

Thanks to the only recently squashed NBA lockout, a lot of basketball heads have turned to the college level for their fix on hoops. Time and time again, you’ve probably heard people exclaiming that college ball is better than watching the pros. Perhaps now you’ll understand why. Even though the NBA lockout is over, you might still have the collegiate fever. If you’re just unsure of which players to watch or follow, let COED help you out. We’re about to show you the country’s best as we count down the top 10 elite men’s college basketball players to watch this season. Check out who made the cut after the jumpshot.

Back in August, we named Rick’s Cabaret as one of the 10 best strip clubs in America. Why? Because they pull off stuff like this all-exotic dancer basketball league to help fill the void left by the NBA Lockout. The league will be made up of 11 teams, one from each city the chain has a club in (New York, Philly, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Miami, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston). Each team will play 2 games over 2 days – November 17th and 18th. We were lucky enough to receive a special invite to check out the NYC squad. Good thing we brought a camera. Peep the pics from their practice after the jumpshot.

Now that the NBA’s Nazi Commissioner David Stern has officially cancelled the first two weeks of the NBA season, all we can do now is pray that a season actually starts. The L and the players did just have 16 hour talks yesterday, so it’s nice to know that they’re at least making it seem like they give a f*ck. I’d be happy with a shorter season anyway because it’s the playoffs that really matter. Even if the season doesn’t happen, at least we have NBA 2k12 to fill the void. I’m sure that a few NBA teams are actually happy about the lockout – there are a bunch that actually benefit from a shorter regular season. Check out who those teams are after the jump.

We remember when we first found out the NBA would follow in the NFL’s footsteps and enter into a lockout, we thought the NFL would definitely settle way before its basketball counterparts. I mean, WAY before. We wouldn’t be surprised if it went the whole year. Unless you’re a diehard fan, you probably won’t miss the NBA until around May/June when the playoffs would usually kick in… or until you realize you won’t be seeing these beautiful bouncing cheerleaders. Ah, now the situation just got real. Check out our gallery of reasons why the NBA needs to sack up and end this sh*t asap after the jump.

As the NBA lockout enters it’s third month, many NBA fans such as myself are coming to the realization that the whole season might be cancelled. In my opinion, the best post-season in any sport is the NBA Playoffs (I can hear the haters typing now). Without a real regular season, however, the playoffs won’t mean as much. It also means that NBA fans won’t have nearly as much to do during the cold, winter months. Don’t worry though, I’m here for you. Below are five things you should be doing while your favorite athletes relax play competitively in Europe.

It seems most sports stars these days lead secret sex lives behind closed doors. The ones we don’t know about are probably just very good with disguises and have the wealth to afford bribery. Maybe their goal-oriented psyches desire further conquests on a different kind of playing field? While it is hard to believe they have so much energy left to use up, what follows is a look into which sports are most likely to turn those who play them into primordial sex hungry fiends; in no way based on any kind of medical research. It’s called conjecture. Deal with it. Check out the list after the jump.

Last night, the Mavs avenged their ’06 Finals loss to the Heat with a decisive Game 6 victory over the Big Three in Miami for their first NBA title. It seems everyone and their Delonte West-banging mother rooted agaisnt the cHeat, painting Lebron, D-Wade, and Bosh like immature, taunting, childish, crybaby super villains. We feel Twitter is always a good measuring stick / barometer for public reaction, so it’s no surprise that #heatlockerroomplaylist is trending. People are more pumped to see the Heat lose than the Mavs win. We sifted through the piles of suggestions to come up with the best of the best. Take a listen then suggest your own in the comments section below our partner links after the jump shot.
