The Resume

    (August 1, 2002- )
    Created by Mason Gordon
    Games are broadcasted on SpikeTV (2002-2003)
    Premise: A variation of basketballs, with trampolines are placed throughout the court for dunking
    Teams consist of four players: one stopper (center), one handler (point guard), and two gunners (guards)
    Slam dunks are worth 3 points, and all other shots are worth 2 points
    Teams are the Rumble, Steal, Bouncers, Diablos, Mob, Riders, Slashers, and Bandits

Why Slamball might be annoying:

    If you tried it at home, odds are you would crack your skull open.
    Defenders rarely score points and most of the time; they just stay back at the trampolines on the other side of court.
    It left SpikeTV because the network gave them poor coverage.
    Since, its departure from SpikeTV, it has rarely been shown on basic cable networks.
    They couldn't find a network to air the 2004 season, so it never happened.
    Most of the players aren't well known, and have dumb nicknames like ‘The Cheese.'

Why Slamball might not be annoying:

    It has an entertaining alternative to free-throws during fouls. Instead, one offensive player goes head to head with one defender on the trampolines, and tries to score.
    Although the teams are not from specific cities, they will tour and bring the games to several other cities and countries.
    A lot of safety measures have been taken to minimize injuries.
    The players in the league are street basketball players, who specialize in trick moves and dunks.
    It was featured on an episode of King of Queens.
