The wait is over for fans of SlamBall as the contact sport makes its return on ESPN tonight.
The tournament, which has been on a 20-year-long hiatus, struck a media rights deal with the company.
ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+ will combine to air more than 30 hours of programming over the season.
One of the instrumental figures in getting the project off the ground was Kevin Durant's former Brooklyn Nets teammate Blake Griffin, who helped raise $11 million in investments.
The 2011 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion is clearly a fan of throwing the ball down when he can, and is the only active NBA player involved in the reboot.
Other big names involved include Michael Rubin, Gary Vaynerchuk and David Blitzer.
What is SlamBall?
For those who missed out on the original SlamBall craze, the sport is a mashup of football, basketball and trampoline which involves plenty of contact.
It features 4-on-4 competition, with substitutions made on the fly and hockey-lick plexiglass surrounding the court instead of out-of-bounds lines.
The sport was conceived by CEO Mason Gordon while working for Tollin/Robbins Productions in 1999.
It made it's debut in 2002 and featured six teams competing, with former NBA All-Star Reggie Theus serving as studio co-host and color commentator.
After a stellar first season, ratings dipped which led to its cancellation after year two.
What you need to know about the SlamBall reboot
The SlamBall reboot begins tonight, July 21, and can be watched on the ESPN app and ESPN+.
Eight teams will compete in a four-week regular season. The season will then conclude with two semifinal games on August 15, and a championship game on August 17.
Dunks will still be worth three points, while long jump shots outside the trampoline area will also be worth three points as well. Shots from behind the arc are worth four points.
