Yea it seemed like they had some buzz,it was on tv weekly,they had all kinds of celebrity endorsers and former ball players as coaches and doing the tv commentary,i thought it was going to take a next step that never happened...

They had X man and Reggie Theus,Sixers former owner and Coach Carter affiliated with it...ratings must have been real shytty.

two simple cheap concepts can never not work bruh ... you dont lose money by playing it ...they can try to commercialize it for 2000 more years if they wanted ... its just a trampoline and a hoop

WTF they were doing incredible numbers,they were beating out MLBs game of the week on a bigger network....It was definitely Spike that fukked it up then...I remember one of the players who also invented it on tv saying spike wanted to script the entire thing like wrestling smh...

Think of all the content they created in the last 15 yrs that didnt last more than a season and absolutely stunk and yet they wouldnt give THIS a chance to develop without trying to fukk it up...
