I love to see the originals involved. Please keep this sport alive I was 13 jumping on my matress using a tiny goal with two brothers

[@eduardobenitez4584]

I am 15 years old and really this year I discovered slamball and I loved it, I saw it today afternoon with my dad, we both fell in love with slamball

[@RUTHLESSambition5]

I remember this sport vividly. Just don't try and go Hollywood and they will be fine

WE ALL WERE🤣🤙🏾🔥

[@dogwater290]

this used to be on spike TV all the time so many twisted ankles lol

[@Gmullah]

Spike TV was ledgen 😢

[@peebles28]

Hate to hear that lol

[@leonfontaine155]

Instead of the WNBA this is what the NBA should invest into. I love slamball.

[@jdagreat4595]

Pretty dope see this back, last I remember it old coach from my highschool “ coach cater” coached in this league

[@meko264]

They will promote THIS but not the Big3. That says A LOT. At least be consistent and don't make it so obvious.

[@kevinc8955]

Nobody wants to see washed up NBA players playing a crappier version of basketball.

[@Mdksupreme1]

As they should, the big 3 is regular old basketball we already see a ton of, this is different

[@knuxklez27]

i feel where both of y’all coming from 😂

[@drunktake]

Mf’ers would complain about everything geez 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@MultiBreezyb]

@@Mdksupreme1no difference it's still threes, dunks and lay ups.

[@Nbafanla03]

This is sick!!

[@Celtic-Saxon]

I wonder if this would work better as more of an exhibition league similar to the f1 style going state to state maybe internationally Toronto, London and Paris for example.

[@adingdingdiiing6740]

Stare downs aren't as intimidating when they're bouncing on trampolines.😂

The middle tramp underneath the hoop needs to be bigger and extend further into the baseline if they wanna avoid injuries.

Slashers go 1-0, Lava go 0-1

[@user-dc7um4pr3f]

Would be a lot more fun without that make it take it rule. Trying to make a four point shot over a goaltend to tie the game would have been really fun to see.

[@DeeDaKaang1]

I always thought skyzone would have 1 of these courts, but after watching this I know why they stuck with dodge ball

[@basketballoof9627]

I think they have them now

[@2ucebetta]

They have them but they are like arcade one lane set ups with 3 different heights I think the highest one is 15 ft tall.

[@jonathanwilliams0824]

Did I just see Mason Gordon?

[@TheeThunderGod]

They need to set up some type of traveling calls. Like no double bouncing, once u leave ur feet with the ball u gotta shoot or pass UNLESS its a hop from court to trampoline, then u get a 2nd bounce. Some of double n triple jumps and multiple steps on the trampoline padding makes the game look a lil too sloppy.

[@TheRealOvie]

Time to hit The Cages in 2k. Lmao

[@PhilHug1]

Are you allowed to shoot 3s in slamball?

[@hooper428]

yes

[@Tboyyyy1]

Duke would be the Lebron of this league

[@Fnf_byrj]

Crosby vs baby bron

[@erindozinushi1997]

Spiking 3s and goaltending should be allowed

[@hooper428]

no it’s would make it boring

[@smalldoggo3704]

It doesn’t feel as impactful because they aren’t showing the landings, maybe it’s in case someone has a poor landing

[@TheeThunderGod]

U might be right. I noticed they only show the landing when the dunk wasnt challenged by anyone. Once someone goes heads up with the person dunkin', we dont see the landing 🤔

[@darmbains9727]

Didnt someone die playing this sport? Where did this go for a long time when did this sport come back

[@PRINCESSBAILY]

Google is free

[@EddieFews]

I think they should make dunks 1 point, and 3 pointers 3 or 4 points. Too much nonstop stimulation from dunking reduces the excitement for each one in my opinion. It will also cause more people to take shots and slow the game down just a bit. I remember watching slam ball when I was much younger but there seems like there's something missing.

[@sp123]

people love dunks, they want to encourage as many dunks as possible

[@BryantBrothers-gm1qx]

Agreed,I like watching it but more shooting will keep it more competitive and interesting but this was a good game tbh

[@cbeattie778]

​@@BryantBrothers-gm1qxthey can shoot

[@BryantBrothers-gm1qx]

@@cbeattie778but how many TIMES did they shoot in the game tho?I get it...the league wants to see dunks because that's what the fans like but you have to BALANCE out the game a bit more to attract more fans...we love dunks but it gets REPETITIVE after awhile
