I was watching One Tree Hill and i came across this game called Slamball... it's sooooo cool i tell you... It's even cooler than the normal basketball!!!
Slamball is a team sport based on basketball. Points are scored by playing the through the net, as in basketball, though the point-scoring rules are modified. The main differences from the parent sport is the court; below the padded basketball rim and backboard are 4 trampolines set into the floor which serve to launch players to great heights for slam dunks. The rules also permit some physical contact between the members of the four-player teams. There's basically 3 positions in this game - The Handler, The Gunner and The Stopper...
Handler: This would be the primary ball handler on the team. It is his job to run the offense and organize the other members while controlling the flow of the game. Typically he would be responsible to set up the gunners to attack the basket while adding in his own offensive threat.
Gunner: The primary scorer on the team. A team's gunner will be the player on the team that will attack the basket and finish plays against the opposing teams' stopper, comparable to a forward or wing player in soccer or hockey.
Stopper: This position is for the primary defensive player. He trails the offense only when necessary, and he protects the rim from attacking players by using himself as a shield.
The best part is... watching hot guys with muscular bodies playing, showing off their bad boy side!!!(Their violent side) It's like watching WWF wrestlers playing basketballs...Unfortunately, I didn't managed to find any videos of One Tree Hill's hottie - James Lafferty playing slamball... Sigh... but i did manage to find some slamball videos gone wrong on the all famous Youtube...
Enjoy~~~
And before i end, here's a video of how a real slamball games looks like... (it's short clips of a few different slamball games put together...)
Isn't it cool!!! it's better than watching basketball!!!
