Keani Cochelle: 6’1″ and 36-29-47

She’s 6'1" with mind-boggling 36-29-47 measurements. Wowza! Yes, Keani Cochelle gives one plenty to look at. The half-Norwegian, quarter Black and quarter Native American Cherokee stunner, who steamed up the camera lens in Ice Cube’s “Rep That West” video, also was a serious college basketball player in addition to modeling. Here, XXL goes hard in the paint with Keani and challenges her in a game of 1-on-1 that she’ll never forget. Hey, Keani, neither will we.

XXL: You’re 6-1 with 36-29-47 measurements and you play sports.

Keani Cochelle:Growing up, I’ve always played sports, so it wasn’t anything I thought was rare because I always played with people I thought were tall. It wasn’t until I graduated that I realized I was really tall. I’d try to wear heels and walk around in the general public and the responses you get from people just looking would be, “Whoa!” I started realizing it’s rare to find a tall girl with those measurements.

XXL:Yeah, especially the 47 part. What do you think about girls getting work done to get that kind of ass these days?

Cochelle: I think it’s crazy. I have a couple of friends that talk about getting that done, but I’m big on working with what you got, but then I have 47-inch hips, so they’re like, “You have the butt, so what are you talking about?” I don’t have the boobs, so I didn’t go out and buy big boobs. I think it’s better to be natural. I’m all natural.

XXL: What's your background?

Cochelle: I’m half Norweigan, quarter Black and a quarter Native American Cherokee and I grew up in Eugene Oregon, so my dad’s White and my mom is Black and Native American.

XXL: You’re background is as diverse as your measurements.

Cochelle: Yeah, pretty unique. I love it, though.

XXL: What’s this about you playing serious college basketball?

Cochelle: I played for NC State for a couple of years and then transferred to Pepperdine. I played power forward, but I’m good on the outside and inside, so I’m versatile. I’ve been playing basketball since the third grade.

XXL: And tell us about the boxing.

Cochelle: I’m always big on seeing things and saying, ‘I can do that better.’ A boyfriend of mine at the time was into boxing and promoting boxers and stuff. I’d see the women fight and I’d say, ‘I can do that.’ So, I started training and I would say in about a year, two years was planning on fighting Laila (Ali), but she had her baby. I was going to take her dad’s style and use it against her, but it never happened.

XXL: I don’t know if you caught it, but Lil Wayne made his crush on Notre Dame player Skylar Diggins evident by rocking her jersey at one of his concerts earlier in the year. Ya’ll might be the baddest amongst the female ballers, ha? Female ballers can be sexy.

Cochelle: Yeah. My mom always had ribbons in my hair, when I was running down the court. I’ve always had my nails painted. I’ve always been a girly, girl off the court and on the court, really. But at the same time, I’m athletic, competitive and want to win. I speak to young women athletes a lot and tell them that you don’t have to be manly and butch to play sports. You can still carry yourself as a woman and be sexy with it.

XXL: What kind of reaction would you get in college off the court?

Cochelle: A lot of guys are intimidated, though. I was as tall as they were, very focused and smart, but sexy as well. They were intimidated, but I’m very down to earth and approachable. They’d always want to hang out with me and get at me. They would try to challenge me on the court, but that really didn’t work out.

XXL: Well, we can tell you’re serious about your basketball. So, we called a quick huddle in XXL offices and came up with a way to go 1-on-1 with you. We’re going to name a hoops term and you tell us what comes to mind in the bedroom.

Cochelle: (Laughing) Ok, that’s cool.

XXL: Fast Break.

Cochelle: I would say quickies.

XXL: Goaltending.

Cochelle: Umm . . . goaltending would be going out before I get mine, I guess. Finishing before I get mine.

XXL: Backcourt violation.

Cochelle: Oh my gosh, you guys are crazy. Backcourt violation – They would get turned down, not even allowed in the game. They would get taken out the game.

XXL: Double-dribble.

Cochelle: Oh my God (laughing)! Two hands on my ass. Palming the butt.

XXL: Banging in the post.

Cochelle: Going hard, taking it all the way, not backing down.

XXL: Backdoor cut.

Cochelle: Face down, ass up. Doggystyle.

XXL: Technical foul.

Cochelle: Not giving me head. Yeah, that’s a technical foul.

XXL: Give and go.

Cochelle: I guess, a one-night stand (laughing).

XXL: Pick and roll.

Cochelle: Hitting it and falling asleep.
