For those that didnt watch the OG version of this, saying the Rumble v Mob is a rivalry is putting it lightly. These two squads went full 90s basketball with the physicality every possession

[@AETERNVS]

This looks awesome and ridiculous at the same time.

[@kaizoku8087]

Ridiculously awesome

[@otech88]

I Remember watching this back in the 00s on spike tv glad to see it’s back!

[@ShakShak1999]

I remember when cartoon Network had it for a short time. It was a fun league

[@BboyTurok1990]

I remember the Spike TV days of Slamball. That sport was straight up insane.

[@whiskersomalley2154]

The Mob back on top where they belong, wish I could watch this in the UK but I don't have ESPN

[@hurricanestarang]

At 3:54 they give the points to the wrong team, and just keep rolling with it 😂

[@dland5724]

I ran to the the comments to make sure I wasn't trippin

[@ninjaking7256]

They were winning by alot anyway

[@kaizoku8087]

At that time it doesn’t change the outcome of the game

[@dacypher22]

It may not change the outcome of the game but still LOL

[@xlordamber]

Man I'm so glad to see this back!

[@Drop9071]

I grew up watching SlamBall on Spike TV, I can't believe it is finally back.

[@kdagoat]

Man this is so awesome I am so glad it’s back

[@kNaild]

I really appreciate how they help each other up on the trampolines

[@JimLahey_and_Blulian]

Remember seeing this in the early 2000s. I hope this becomes bigger.

[@eduardobenitez4584]

I saw it for the first time yesterday with my dad, we both fell in love with slamball

[@ReyKaf]

Ahh i miss this show. Remember this when i was a kid

[@eduardobenitez4584]

I discovered Slamball yesterday, I was watching it with my dad, we both fell in love with Slamball

[@chanachon56]

I honestly feel that the original iteration was better. Back then, perimeter shots were still 3 pts, same as dunks, which incentivizes drives to the rim. Also, per the rules, 1 player always had to stay back on offense, meaning that there's always a guy for rim protection on opponent fast breaks. This new iteration just doesn't have the same intensity as before, at least to me.

[@DollaBill614]

True, I feel now it’s trying to stay in the basketball lane like the BIG3 and FIBA 3on3, “4 PT” shot

[@AnArchyRulzz]

I think they are more concerned about concussions these days, i love the physicality of the old version, but i get it

[@FunkayMonkay149]

@@AnArchyRulzz Not just concussions. If my memory is correct one of the players in the championship game played with a broken hand, nose, and collar bone. The physicality of the game is what made slamball SLAMball. Now it just feels like a side show for entertainment more than a sport. But I'm sure they had to tone it back at that time since I doubt the pay was enough for medical as well as jeopardizes the league since there aren't enough players. I dont even think they ever had a draft. I feel like this was a smart for immediate business but in the long term the physical and intense style of slamball would have gathered respect from sports fans in the long term.

We need that outside night time vibes again !!! So much nostalgia 🎉🎉

Slamball and the And 1 Mixtape tour were my 2 fav shows as a youngin

[@bensonboys6609]

How do you not get injured? It just feels like crashing into someone you’re trying to block midair has a high likelihood of going wrong. And then try to land safely after you collided.

[@DadandSonBowling]

this was our GAME in 00-05 i thunk . physical and rough basketball. inspiration i think came from thr game NBA JAM in the 90s 😊🙏 MOB was like . hey Gen Zs .this is how MILLENIALS PLAY SLAMBALL 😂😂😂

[@FunkayMonkay149]

@@Mont3000 Actually it was VERY popular the first 2 seasons. it even rivaled Monday Night Raw at the time. and Raw still had Stone cold and The Rock at the time. The creator walked away from the initial deal because the tv people wanted to turn into a scripted show and not a sport.

The scorekeeping here is HORRIBLE. I know it’s a restart to a certain extent, but if you want to draw ppl in or at least have it taken somewhat seriously, even the details have to be clean. C’mon now quality control! Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@alexsambula9941]

It’s not that horrible. They just give the points to the team who didn’t score yet.
