Unfortunately, the Nuttin Butt Azz Basketball Tournament has been canceled. It’s over before it even ever began.

They say “sex sells.” Evidently, it can also be the reason your basketball tournament gets canceled. Find out why the Nuttin Butt Azz Basketball Tournament in New Jersey was canceled below.

‘Nuttin Butt Azz’ Basketball Tournament Canceled

According to The New York Post, a sexual promotional video of women twerking in thongs in a New Jersey High School gym caused the school board to become hot and bothered and now they’re calling the whole thing off. The raunchy footage was intended to promote a celebrity basketball tournament called “Nuttin Butt Azz.” In the promo, women were bending over chairs and shaking their butts in slow motion to hip-hop music at West Side High School in Newark, New Jersey.

The school’s mascot “Rough Riders” is seen on the wall in the background. Seems like an appropriate nickname for the situation. I wonder if that played into the decision to film it there. According to The New York Post, the tournament was produced by Big Fendi who’s a music manager and party promoter who’s probably best known for discovering Nicki Minaj.

According to NJ.com. Board Member Daniel Gonzalez said, “I am appalled that a video of that sort was associated with that school or any of our schools.” Clearly, they were disgusted by what they saw. Now, an investigation is reportedly under way to see who let the film crew in and who’s responsible for all of this happening. They’ll be going through school records and surveillance cameras so you have to imagine they’re going to get to the bottom of this very soon.

The New York Post reports the tournament is also known as the “NBA Baddies Basketball Tournament NJ” and was scheduled for July 21, 2024. Tickets were ranging from $50-$500. That’s not a cheap date! However, now it’s canceled and Big Fendi even apologized to all of Newark. Maybe one day we’ll get to experience the Nuttin Butt Azz tourney, but it won’t be this year.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Greatest Basketball Movies Of All-Time

March Madness is in full swing and we’re celebrating with the 5 greatest basketball movies of all-time. There have been some great ones, but which ones will make the cut?

Let’s dive in to a list of the greatest basketball movies that Hollywood has given us. Sure, there were some duds but some of the best sports movies ever were basketball movies!

5 Greatest Basketball Movies Of All-Time

Look, this was tough to make. Undoubtedly, this is going to start a debate. I could only pick 5 of the best of the best, which means some great basketball flicks are going to get left out. Yes, your favorite could end up not making the list–but that doesn’t mean it isn’t great! It’s hard to take all those movies and whittle it down to only 5. So, please let us know if we forgot your favorite and we can consider adding it to the list next time.

Honorable mentions include The Way Back starring Ben Affleck. That was a great, and emotional movie. It shows the power basketball, or any sport, can have on people. Additionally, classics like Glory Road, Like Mike, He Got Game, and White Men Can’t Jump won’t be found on the list. Likewise, BASEketball won’t make the list because it’s not entirely a basketball movie. Expect to see it on a future Best Hybrid Sports Movies list. Do they deserve to be? Absolutely! However, they didn’t make the list of my personal favorites. They’re probably on yours!

Recently, we celebrated the start of baseball season with a list of the 5 greatest baseball movies of all-time. That was another fantastic list that was hard to narrow down to only 5. However, I feel like this list is more of a challenge. It would be easy to name 5 great golf movies–there aren’t many of them! Unfortunately, you can’t say the same about basketball movies.

Check out the list below! Did we miss your favorite basketball movie? Let us know! Here are the 5 we ended up with at the end. Of course, just like in March Madness there are some crazy upsets and Cinderella stories.

The Best Basketball Movies Ever Made

  • Space Jam

    The original Space Jam is one of the best movies of all-time, let alone basketball movies. It’s a great combination of live action and animation. It stars Michael Jordan in one of his very few acting roles, and he does a good enough job! However, the stars of the movie are the Looney Tunes. Bugs Bunny and the gang are hilarious. Bill Murray and Wayne Knight have stellar cameos, as do some other NBA stars of the 90s. The sequel will not make the list.

  • Coach Carter

    Coach Carter is a powerful movie. It was an instant classic. The movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, Rick Gonzalez, and Channing Tatum. At first, you feel like Coach Carter is the worst kind of Coach, before you realize his greatness and how he’s exactly what those players needed. As a former high school athlete, it was a relatable movie. One of the best for sure.

  • Hustle

    You might have a problem with Hustle making the list. That’s understandable. However, you’ve got to give Adam Sandler credit here. He did a fantastic job in a more serious role while being able to deliver laughs. It ended up being an excellent movie, and I’m keeping it on the list!

  • Semi-Pro

    Semi-Pro is hilarious and Will Ferrell gives a phenomenal performance as a basketball player/coach/owner. He does it in the style that only Will Ferrell could pull off. The Flint Tropics uniform remains a Halloween staple to this day. You’ll always see at least one at the party. It’s different than most other basketball movies, but in a good way.

  • Hoosiers

    Another classic. I felt bad not having this one on the list. Is it my personal favorite? No. I can admit it is not. However, it simply had to make the list of the best basketball movies. I would have been ripped apart if it wasn’t included. I already feel bad enough for not including White Men Can’t Jump and He Got Game. One of those had to make the list!
