The Cobra Energy Drink Iron Men were a basketball team owned by Asia Brewery, Inc. that played in the PBA Developmental League (PBA D-League) and the Philippine Basketball League (PBL). The team was originally known as Bacchus Energy Drink Raiders/Warriors that played in the PBL from 2006 to 2008. Asia Brewery took over ownership of the team in 2009 and renamed as Cobra Energy Drink Iron Men. After the PBL became dormant in 2010, the team joined the PBA D-League the following year as one of its pioneer teams. The team was succeeded in the PBA D-League by the Boracay Rum Waves (owned by affiliate Tanduay Distillers, Inc.) after the 2011 season.
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, opposing one another on a rectangular court, compete with the primary objective of shooting a basketball through the defender's hoop while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. A field goal is worth two points, unless made from behind the three-point line, when it is worth three. After a foul, timed play stops and the player fouled or designated to shoot a technical foul is given one or more one-point free throws. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but if regulation play expires with the score tied, an additional period of play (overtime) is mandated.
Asia Brewery, Inc. is a Philippines-based diversified beverage company owned by LT Group, Inc., a publicly listed holding company of Lucio Tan.
The PBA Developmental League, or PBA D-League, is the Philippine Basketball Association's official minor league basketball organization.
