This whole era felt like it was written in the Pimp my Ride font, and this game is a big part of that.
Either this or Punch-Out is the best sports game ever made.
Great arcade basketball game with robust story mode. I played this again after playing it so much in my childhood and it didn't disappoint
Best sports game ever made….tied with SSX3
Al igual que Fifa Street 2, se entendió muy bien cómo hacer este tipo de juegos de deporte callejero y... Lo bordaron

mucho deporte
Would only play as the guy who would do the backflip halfcourt shot because if I tried to get any closer to the hoop my brothers would steal the ball from me cause they wouldn't teach me how to block.
It was still fun though and it had good music and a fun style.

Much improved from the first, with some great gameplay and awesome players from present and past.
Ooooh, much MUCH nicer than conventional "NBA" games... They try to make them "realistic" but they're not... This game? Hits the nail on the head!! 👍
GOAT
The gameplay is slick and the minor gameplay additions from the first game are all really great. Unfortunately the single player modes are very repetitive, and I found the AI to be really poor. On defense they will mostly just stand in front of you waiting to get styled on, or you can simply run around them.
Played on PS2
One of the best basketball games I've played in recent memory. Easy to understand and is just good fun.
Game play is a 3v3 basketball game, which goes more into the crazy cartoon-ish basketball, but still remains somewhat grounded and real.
This game features a pretty large cast and you can feel differences between some of the more famous characters, some can feel unique is what I mean. Controls and abilities are simple yet complex enough to where someone could master the game and whatnot. Just really fun stuff, reminiscent of NBA Jam but much more complex.
You can create characters which is pretty awesome for a PS2 game, but of course, the character maker is very limited in options, glad it's here regardless.
One issue I have with this game is unlocking stuff feels too grindy. I mean you've really got to play a lot of this fucking game to unlock everything, like an insane amount of playtime.
I'd say the main mode of single player is the "Be a Legend" game mode. It's not half bad, you can make your own team with your custom character and can create your own team from players you meet in matches. You can further customize your characters clothing with points you unlock by winning, and can also improve certain stats of your character with these points, an early less complex version of what progression is found in the 2K "MyPlayer" game mode. Unfortunately though, I don't think you earn actually credits to buy stuff from the rewards store, which as I mentioned earlier, the store is incredibly grindy, so not getting any points makes it feel like playing the legend game mode is wasting time.
The other game modes include just a standard pick team and play game mode, a tutorial mode, and an "NBA Challenge" mode, where you make a team and beat every then-current NBA team, this mode is pretty cool honestly.
The soundtrack is pretty dope, just solid stuff from the era, such as "Chief Rocka" and "This or That". Out of sports games soundtracks, this one is top tier.
Despite a lot of the cast I still haven't unlocked, the cast is pretty huge for a PS2 game and has a lot to offer. you have street legends, which are unique characters made for the game, at the time current NBA players from each team, each team usually has 3-5 players on them, and NBA legends, which include legacy characters like Larry Bird, 96' Michael Jordan, etc. And finally, custom characters, there are 10 custom character slots.
If you're a fan of basketball I'd highly recommend this game, one of the absolute best from its era, and in my opinion is much more fun than NBA Live and NBA 2K.
Hell I'd say this is more fun than NBA Jam, play this game with some friends and it'll just be fun.

Not just the greatest basketball game ever made, but the absolute peak of sports games as a genre. Performing the most over the top moves with the coolest players of the era (and Karl Malone) is a simple concept that never loses its luster. The 1000th time playing NBA Street Vol. 2 is just as fun as the first, and the timeless aesthetics with the unbelievably great soundtrack ties it all together. A perfect video game.
i was playin the HELL out this game back in the day
This is the greatest sports game ever made
Kicks extreme ass. Killer soundtrack playing, Bobbito Garcia yelling some old hip hop slang while you're doing all the shit you wish people could actually do in basketball.
fool me once, fool me twice, fool me... thrice?
the only basketball game where I stank face dunks like I just saw them in real life.

GBOAT
The greatest basketball video game of all time
Still one of the best basketball games ever, they just don't make them like this anymore. Can you imagine if this had come out today? filled with dlc, mtx, season passes, battle passes. I get the chills just thinking about it
basketball but on the streets 2
if you never made a girl that was the shortest height and maxed out here dunking or tried to make a tall ass max weight maxed out handle player, than you played this game wrong asf.
boh veramente gameplay stradivertente, bellissimo stile, soundtrack pazzesca. Giocone anche per chi non segue nba o basket in generale
A staple of my childhood, this game was so fun and addictive. Worked really nicely with the gamecube controller, had a great hip hop soundtrack, funny commentary, colourful graphics. There were a bunch of games like this and the backyard games that integrated pro athletes with fictional characters, which I liked a lot.

arguably best basketball game of all time, right up there with nba jam
Certified hood classic. Even the homies that don't care for sports love this joint
The rightful heir to NBA Jam's throne, such a great arcade style basketball game.
