Street Hoops? That game was so fun lol

Yes! The only console I owned growing up was the Super Nintendo so we used to rent something from the Blockbuster that could play that game and we’d just play it nonstop with my friends.

Those games had the best soundtracks.

Speaking of graphics it’s crazy how good NBA Street still looks

Street Hoops had a short but solid soundtrack. Songs you wouldn’t typically hear in video games like Roll Out, Front 2 Back, Who We Be, Make Em Say Ugh.. those are the main ones I can remember.

It was also one of the first games I can remember where you could go buy “swag” for your characters. If I remember correctly. Think you could buy generic gear, And 1 branded gear, and P Miller branded gear. Unless I’m getting that mixed up with another game.

Gameplay had its quirks, but it was fun and different for its time for sure.

NBA Street, Street Hoops, and NBA Ballers all coming out within a 2-3 year span, along with still having Live and obviously 2K yearly releases.. that was peak basketball gaming. Obviously you could pick the best years of 2K and say that’s the best, but having 4-5 titles you could pick up a play was crazy. To do that now you’d have to play titles that are 15+ years behind graphically. Doubt we ever have something like that again. A newer NBA Street or something similar would be super fun for a change of pace right now.

Wasn’t NBA Ballers supposed to be the “realistic” version of the others?

Seeing a picture on Twitter of him and Gary Payton, it makes me think about how great Detlef Schrempf would be in today's game. In a modern offense I feel like he could be a 24, 10 and 7 on 50/40/85 shooting, playing the 3-5.

I maybe too optimistic, but I'm a Schrempf Stan, he's in my top ten all time.

This game was my modern NBA Jam. So many hours poured into that thing. And Vol. 2 was beautiful, too. The first game to capture legends that actually sort of resembled themselves. Gold chain MJ and signature dunking Darryl Dawkins were my go-to's.

A guy I played ball with growing up that my dad was always his coach played in slam ball. He was the best in the league at protecting the rim. His last name was hooker here is a video

The highlights for Slamball was cool too.

I think I watched it during the Spike TV days

Between that and Beach Soccer, the real life arcade like sports are more fun to watch than you'd think.

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

Going back to the And 1 talk..somewhat related, but anyone remember Slam Ball? Now that was fun.
