1st time seeing this game I was waiting at the barbershop to get a cut and I was amazed. They had the game just sitting there on with the intro looping, nobody playing it and the barber seen me looking at it then said "you can get on it lil' homie". Changed my life that day. Matter fact the Lakers was the 1st team I played with on there, RIP Kobe.

There’s no way it’s just nostalgia that makes me feel the way I do about this generation of gaming man. Every detail had heart, almost to the point where even the flaws add to the character of the masterpieces we look back on with love and joy.
Indeed was a great year for this game aswell as GTA 3 , Max Payne , and Metal Gear Sons of Liberty. Block Busters back then was constantly being revisited every Friday night to play these Gems.
Imagine how fire this game would be right now. Steph, Kyrie, Bron and especially with all the fits and style that’s hot right now. They gonna have off white, Travis Scott’s, Yeezys on 🔥🔥 retro Js. Celebrity appearances too
I'm telling you, it would be amazing. There's a clear void in the basketball video game market for a high quality, arcade style NBA game. The first 3 NBA street titles were legendary and still hold up today. The closest we got now is the Playgrounds series and those don't compare at all. EA should've rebooted it years ago instead of trying to compete with 2K with Live
I had this video pop up on my feed today. Takes me down memory lane. This right here still has my blood rushing whenever I hear that intro yo. Ps2 memories with this game will never die ya heard me. To anyone who has certain music in their ear to get hype then you know what I mean. ✌
Best thing about this game is this had the G.O.A.T. Michael Jordan himself as the final boss - in the PS2/Xbox versions, as Gamecube for some reason only had Stretch as the last opponent.
Because gamecube's version came out a year later, and that's when Jordan came back from his retirement and joined the Wizards. You actually face Jordan in the first stage ironically.
excellent game from 2001, I still play it on my ps2. Other excellent ps2 titles released in 2001 are: Jak and daxter Metal gear 2 Balsur's gate Klonoa 2 Rayman 2 revolution Splashdown
@@Welcome2TheOhioState not if its remastered Brand new,yes they would,but not on remastered I didnt pay for any character on remastered tony hawk,god of war 3,or CTR
@@vDeadboltthe only reason why EA messed up alot was because they were on a time limit and dont know how to handle thier budget,sad to say thqts why Dantes inferno never got a pt2
@@kotaljohn4145 Nah. It's cheaper to reuse assets and charge people for micro transactions over making a high quality game. Hence why their sport titles all suck.
Remastering the first 3 games for modern consoles/PC would be a licensing nightmare for EA BUT, they make billions of dollars so it wouldn't be that much of headache.
