Serial entrepreneur Gary Vee is among the investors backing the revival of SlamBall, a sport combining elements of basketball and football with trampolines. The recent Series A investors also include IA Sports Venture, Eberg Capital, David Blitzer, David Adelman, Michael Rubin, Blake Griffin, Tom Penn, Kevin Nagle, and Accelerate Sports. SlamBall is set for a comeback in 2023, with a two-year television rights deal with ESPN, a unit of The Walt Disney Company. The sport's revival aims to expand beyond its previous state, with long-term plans including more tournaments in the US and international markets, and potentially launching SlamBall teams as franchises.
