It’s good to see that the Hornets are at least trying to get people to watch their games. Since letting Chris Paul go, getting Jackie Moon to announce the starting lineups is the best thing they’ve done besides hiring an already-injured Eric Gordon. Will does a great job of giving some great zingers to players like Carlos Boozer and Derrick Rose a… 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

Obviously we’re starting the week of strong with the BCS National Championship, but there’s even a little excitement for the video game nerds tonight. In the feature “Why This Week” we’re going to let you know about all the awesome sh*t to look forward to like new movies, DVDs, albums, concerts, marquee games on TV, and other impor… 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.

The two things we can count on to bring people together are holidays and sports. Everyone likes a day off from work and when you couple that with a sporting event, you’re staring down at a pair of aces. For some families, watching sports can be a bonding experience while others use it as a diversion or escape from family issues. And, if you don’t have a fam, these sports will keep you company. Tri-State Sports Guys’ Mike D has 5 great marriages of holidays and sports – check ‘em out after the jump.

The 2011-12 NBA season is officially dead. Most people are fine with this – we get to see more celebrity charity events and players whooping @ss overseas – and for those other diehards, there’s always NBA 2k12. For those who were in it strictly for the dancers, you might not be out of luck. The ReD Foxes is a Ukrainian dance team of professional gymnasts and ballerinas who make appearances all over the world including the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The squad’s founder stated, “The ultimate task for all the Red Foxes is to reach the hearts of our spectators.” We say that’s not the only thing they’re reaching. Check out their hottest pics in our gallery 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.

About a month ago, COED was invited to play a preview version of NBA 2K12. At the time, we were really impressed by the new Legends feature, the presentation, and the gameplay. However, that was an almost-finished build. Now that it’s been released for sale, we finally had a chance to take it home and give it a full-court review. Check out how NBA 2K12 matches up against the competition plus find out how to enter our giveaway to win the game 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.
