One of the better NBA games when I was real young. A remake of this would be better than the 2K games. 🔥🎮

Probably the greatest basketball game ever made.
I remember being a kid and not understanding why Jordan was absent from the game.
Someone put me out!!!
NBA jam is still better than any NBA2k game today.
You bring the peanut butter… I’ll bring the JAM!
This was the first game I bought with my own money. I had this poster on my wall. Also, I’m old lol. I miss the hell outta arcade sports games. They pretty much don’t exist anymore, sadly.
Stockton & Malone baybeee
Makes me wanna go home and dig the 32X out from the bottom of my closet to play this lol
yeah cuz kukoc and Pippen are the duo you make on that team lol
I can’t believe I forgot to do anything on the 30th anniversary.

Man, I miss this game. One of the best basketball games ever.
I remember wondering for the longest time who PFunk was
This is one of the only games I genuinely remember playing and enjoying with my sister when I was 3-4 years old. Didn’t know what was going on but we would take turns going to the opposite side of the court and shooting full court shots
Get on fire against me and I’m socking you out.
And sadly this is still the funnest basketball game ever made
He puts up a brick!
I was literally playing this an hour ago what a classic
Greed and licensing have probably ruined any chance of this coming back but I’d be on board with WNBA Jam! Honestly I just loved the game play and the teams were second to that. Time to ride the oncoming wave of women’s basketball and get them a game. Bring back simple arcade basketball and the WNBA would be perfect for this franchise return.
One of my favorite games growing up.
***RAZZLE DAZZLE***
There was an Xbox 360 era remake for consoles and mobile – a very good remake…2010(Ish?)
Best basketball game ever
How have we not gotten a new NBA Jam. Or Street. Or some version of Hitz and Blitz. Man, I miss good arcade sports games.

I remember first learning the double ally….pass to a teamate in the air then jump….then pass back to yourself for a double ally oop….peak of my gaming career
From an interview with the creator:
>In 2008, Mark Turmell spoke publicly about the game’s coding specifics, admitting that he made sure to stack the odds against the Bulls given that he was a huge Pistons fan. He made it so that in a close game between the Bulls and the Pistons, any last-second shot the Bulls attempted would miss badly.
I loved Barkley Shut Up and Jam! both were solid games
I still play the On Fire Edition! On my PS3. “Dear Rim. I miss you.” “HE FARTS AND FIRES!!…uh..that was me again… sorry”
Loved this game! A remake would be fucking amazing!
I would always get so mad when I’d hear “he’s heating up” and then I’d accidentally score with the other guy.
I kept the purple shirt I got with my copy of TE for a long, long time b
I played the crap out of this as a kid.
Starks and Ewing! NEW YORK FOREVER! 🇺🇸🗽🏀🔥🔥
BASELINE LEANER.
This game swallowed my quarters en masse.
My best friends held Guinness book records for this game. Lots of great memories.
Finding the big head switch in this was fantastic. It was already the best basketball game around, but that took it to a new level.
Scotty Pippin FTW
Play as Bill Clinton
Great game! A good friend of mine wrote a book about it:

When I was a kid in the 90s, I never had consoles. My buddy had a Genesis, and NBA Jam was the first console game I ever played.
I remember seeing this game in arcades before it hit console, peeps were lined up with their quarters
