A Sport Most People in America Forgot About is Alive and Well in China

Credit :

If you were a fan of Spike TV and watched a lot in the early 2000s, then you may remember a sport called SlamBall. Mason Gordon created this awesome sport. It combines aerial acrobatics of basketball with the aggressiveness of football, and players are aided by several trampolines right underneath each basket. It may be forgotten in America, but China has fallen in love with it.

The combination off all of this going on was awesome to watch, but disputes over broadcasting led to this sport disappearing from the airwaves. Without media exposing it anymore, the sport eventually faded from people's minds. Thankfully, the owner didn't give up on it. Even if it is not being televised anymore, China and basketball have a great relationship together. So Gordon decided to air old SlamBall episodes and see what people think. This was a HUGE success and now even colleges are forming teams for the future.
