Albrecht: "There are not a lot of new sports being invented. This was not just a sport that would be fun to watch, but it's a business that we can build." IMG in March held SlamBall tryouts in L.A., N.Y. and Florida, and "about 100 players are now training at its sports academy" in Bradenton, Florida (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 4/18)." OK, less than $5 mil? For this budding billion dollar sport? WHAT A STEAL!!! Slamball's greatest athletes compete in a high flying dunk contest: Further research on the slamball website and wikipedia led me to discover the following nuggets of information: In the 1989 movie Back to the Future Part II, Slamball was listed as the favorite sport of Douglas J Needles while Marty McFly was speaking with him via videophone.
