Every Court
On Earth
Already Qualifies
DunkBall is a full-contact 3-on-3 sport played on a real, full-size basketball court — indoor or outdoor. Bring two portable hoops, set them to 8.5 feet on the free-throw lines, and any court is ready to go — where everybody dunks.
Basketball courts already have everything DunkBall needs. DunkBall was built to fit on top of them, exactly as they are.
DunkBall is played on a real, full-size basketball court — indoor or outdoor. Every court already has a free-throw line on each end and a half-court line down the middle, so instead of asking cities, schools, and gyms to repaint anything, DunkBall brings its own equipment: two portable, dunkable hoops, set up on the free-throw lines at 8.5 feet — low enough that anyone who can play can throw one down. If it's a full court, it's a DunkBall court.
Portable Hoops
Two freestanding, dunkable rims — no permanent install, no construction crew. Carry them to any surface that can bounce a ball and you're ready to play.
Full Court, As-Is
DunkBall is played on a real full-size court, indoor or outdoor. Hoops go up on the free-throw lines that are already painted — nothing new to mark.
8.5 Feet, Everyone Dunks
Rims sit low enough that the dunk isn't a highlight reserved for a few — it's the standard shot the whole game is built around.
High tempo. Full contact rules. First to 11, win by 2.
Any Make
Layups, mid-range, deep shots — every basket that isn't a dunk or a half-court shot counts for one point.
Any Dunk
The only two-point shot in the game. At 8.5 feet, it's the shot everyone's going for, every possession.
Half-Court Shot
Pull up from behind half court and let it fly. The highest-value shot in the game, from the line down the middle of every full court.
Invented in Folsom, California. Built to be played anywhere.
DunkBall started with one question: what happens to basketball if you just lower the rim? It was invented in Folsom, California, and the rules are still being tested — the browser prototype is step one, built to work out the game before it's played for real.
That's the whole point of the design: a sport that needs custom courts stays local. A sport that only needs two hoops and a real full court can show up anywhere — a school gym, a rec center, an outdoor park court — and be the exact same game, the first time it's played there.
A game you can pick up today. A sport built to be watched tomorrow.
The browser game at the heart of this project is a working prototype of DunkBall's rules — built to the look and feel of NBA 2K as the bar for realism, physics, and control. It's how the sport gets tested and refined before it's played for real.
The end goal is bigger than a browser tab: DunkBall is being built toward a future as a licensed property on a platform like Netflix — a new sport with its own tournaments, its own highlight reel, and a game anyone can play the moment they find two hoops and a full court.
