Slamball? I had to look up what Slamball even was.

As it turns out its basketball on trampolines.

Anyways, this case of a Boston news reporter and former Miss Florida, Julia Donaldson is getting a lot of press today.

Channel 7 sports reporter Julie Donaldson, who said she was injured in an assault last month, testified yesterday that her boyfriend threw her against a wall and punched her in the face.

 

Sobbing as she spoke, Donaldson said it was the latest in a series of violent episodes involving Ivan Lattimore, whom she has been dating since Thanksgiving. Lattimore has been held without bail since his arrest. Yesterday's testimony came during a hearing to determine whether Lattimore poses a threat to Donaldson. The hearing will continue today.

...

Lattimore lives in California, but Donaldson said he visits her every few weeks, staying with her in her Back Bay apartment. Donaldson told the court that Lattimore plays professional Slamball, a variation of basketball using trampolines.

Yeah, it used to be on Spike. It was unbelievably boring. You're not allowed to hit the players when they're in the air, so there are virtually no crashes at all.

 

for a sport that seems like it's trying to be "Extreme" (hahaha) it doesn't make sense that you can't hit each other in the air.

Yeah, I remember being so excited thinking that there would be major hits and crashes, nothing ever happened. It was like watching middle school basketball; lots of passing, lack of dribbling, and sub-standard basketball. Except they had trampolines and wore helmets.

lol.. I remember slamball on spike.

Glad it didnt last long.

"Donaldson, who's filed a restraining order against Lattimore, said her boyfriend called her 47 times on her cellphone immediately after his arrest. She said he doesn't understand why he's in jail, and encouraged her to tell police they were playing a game."

 

...that is all.
