Anyone who has played Illaoi knows she needs a basketball skin but there is a problem...

Just make them normal tentacles with cheering mitts on the ends http://www.shindigz.com/images/itm_img/11slmtssw1ora.jpg

Just give them blk & whi referee jerseys. It'll be fine. :P

The tentacles should be holding basketballs like an octopus. The tentacle tip would be coiled around the ball and their attacks would be a slamming animation, the player is the goal.

Hockey theme, replace tentacles with hockey sticks.

Soccer, put shoes on the end of the tentacles.

Football, helmet at the end of the tentacles.

Regardless of the sport, Illaoi will be in full uniform, being sexy and what not.

Hoops? That would " fall down" on victims.
