[edit] Overview
Rather than 5 on 5 action like professional play, this game features 3 on 3 play with the ability to pick three players such as Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, Steve Francis, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, Ray Allen, Jon Barry, and Courtney Alexander from the NBA team's starting line-up for the first half and can choose again for the second. In addition, after a player makes 3 consecutive shots he becomes "on fire" which allows him to make any shot as well as goaltend without getting a foul. Play otherwise is similar to NBA rules. The arcade version accommodates up to 4 players, as do the home versions produced for the PlayStation 2 and Sega Dreamcast.

[edit] Trivia
The uniforms for the Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns were not updated for the game. These teams sported the uniforms they had in the 1997-98 NBA season instead of the ones they had in the 2000-01 NBA season.
