Brilliantly infusing the two main elements of any sport: passion and fandom; NBA Slam - a brand new series featuring celebrity basketball fans indulging in all things basketball and NBA is all set to launch in September. Instead of fans watching and cheering from a comfortable distance, NBA Slam showcases the abilities and on court rivalry of two rival NBA star players through the eyes of two Indian celebrity fans, who also double up as the episode hosts. The first episode will feature Bollywood Actor and VJ, Rannvijay Singha, a hard-core basketball and NBA fan, engaging in a humorous face-off with the celebrity guest - Varun Sood.

In the series, fans will see Rannvijay hustle his way through the court with his basketball playing skills while he shares his opinion on his favourite player through fun-facts, interesting footage and other snippets straight out of the NBA. Fans can catch the highly engaging and informative experiences of the host as well as the guests starting Saturday, 24th September, 2016 through the day on Sony SIX, SONY ESPN and NBA.com.

"NBA Slam is fast paced and informative and I am really excited to be a part of it as I love the game and I am a hard core NBA fan," says Bollywood actor and VJ Rannvijay. "Every week there will be something different, something new; and I am certain fans and enthusiasts will have as much fun watching it as we did filming it."

A first of its kind short-form basketball series specially created for Indian audiences, NBA Slam will focus on delivering original, localized digital content to basketball enthusiasts and fans in India. NBA Slam's first season comprises 15 episodes and aims at creating awareness about the game and the league by featuring hosts' preferences with respect to their favorite players, the players' attributes, skills, and facts in a competitive, yet lighthearted manner.
