From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NBA Jam Extreme is a a basketball arcade game by Acclaim Entertainment that follows the 1996-97 NBA season. Acclaim ended up winning the exclusive rights to use the NBA Jam name. Acclaim used the name on NBA Jam Extreme in 1996, a 3D version of Jam which featured Marv Albert (instead of Tim Kitzrow) doing commentating. Some of the most famous and repeated sayings of that year came from Albert saying, "Razzle Dazzle", "BOOM-SHAKALAKA", and "He's on Fire!".
