Slamball

Storyline

SlamBall aired on television with Spike TV for two seasons in 2002 and 2003. A third season was held in 2008 and aired on NBC Sports Network, and Cartoon Network - with the championship game airing on CBS. SlamBall held series 4 and 5 in arenas throughout China, airing those games around the world. SlamBall is a form of basketball played with four trampolines in front of each net and boards around the court edge. While SlamBall is based on basketball, it is a contact sport, with blocks, collisions, and rough physical play a part of the game, similar to elements of football and hockey. The aerial action is often compared visually to what might be found in video games.
