You must be too young to have had the pleasure to watch Slamball.

You can call my ACLs Natalie Imbruglia because they are torn after hearing the name Slamball

I was wondering why you didn't go for the Turn Out The Light, but then i realized i confused Nelly Furtado with Natalie Imbruglia and hung my head in shame

I was just telling my boy at work today about how we would move our trampoline under the hoop at my mom’s house because it was built into the ground.

That was so much fun, but holy shit was that dangerous.

Slamball on late night Spike Tv and then hopefully they would turn on some super deep cut documentary on WWF and Lita or Trish Stratus would pop up, scantily clad.

I miss being 9 years old lol.

I don't know what Slamball is but if it's anything like the old MTV Rock & Jock games it must be cool lol

Whenever Slamball is mentioned, I bring up that Back To The Future: Part II "predicted" the game

When Marty was talking to Needles on the video call, the bottom of the screen showed the caller's name, information, and hobbies. Needles is an avid basketball fan and one of his hobbies is Slamball
