SUMMARY:                 
The dominant hoops franchise goes LIVE on PS2, giving you what you expect plus a whole lot more.  Control the post or live above the rim with many new moves - up and under, drop step, jump hook, and more.
QUICK REVIEW:                
+  Very well animated, roster moves/create-a-player/stat tracking are all handled flawlessly, easy to navigate the menus

- Players do not look like their real-life counterparts(no tattoos, dreads, etc...), announcing is uninspired, seems too hard to hit a jump shot, AI is very shoddy, no franchise mode or 3-point shoot out, control is unresponsive
