Slam Ball
It's the hard hitting, high flying game that brings a whole new meaning to slam dunk and NBA sportscaster Pat Croce just loves it. He says, “It's good entertainment."
Pat knows entertainment. He owned basketball's Philadelphia 76ers. Now he's so fired up about Slamball that he's doing color commentary. Pat says, “I love the NBA, but this Slamball really gets my juices going. It's an element of basketball, but because it has hitting, a guy tries to duke you, you whack him."
Slamball will fly onto TV on TNN this summer and the sport's creator, Mason Gordon, is one Hollywood executive who's right in the middle of the bang-up action. He says, “I threw an alley-oop pass there at half court and some guy just planted me."
Even sexy sideline reporter Jamie Little has tried it. She says, “We can all jump and actually slam dunk something we can’t do normally."
Pat thinks that appeal will make Slamball really take off and even become a nationwide league. He says, “There are arenas that would love to have this. I would love to see a Philly team. Those crazy guys out there would love to kick someone’s butt."
