Haha! Yes, he absolutely did not ever dunk from the 3-point line. I don't even think that was ever really a myth. It was a damn funny comment by Ninja Scooter, though.

Already seeing some nice stage backgrounds, Vegas, Japan, one looks like Paris in the old gif from the other day, the trailer also has Miami, NY and another different looking city.

Shawn Kemp on the Cavs? :scust
The characters all look like Lil Penny versions of the players.

Kemp was actually on the Cavs, but nobody needs to be reminded of that mess. It'd be like letting you play as Celtics Shaq.
Looks interesting, but I'm curious about the scoring. Seems to be some other factors going into it as someone scored 4 points in one of those .gifs. Game doesn't look too bad from what we've seen so far.
Maybe they had to find a team for him since they dont have Seattle, but then that leaves Gary Payton is he on Maimi lol
Looking good!
You just triggered a forgotten fan base.
Yes most of the clips have players with different jerseys on the same team, so it looks like you can mismatch teams, which is a pretty cool and can set up great match ups, unlike being forced to play as players on the same team all the time.
Yeah looks ok. If it plays tight then it should be fun in short bursts. The second GIF dunk is also a 3 point dunk from inside the key. The key was lit up though. It could be that something triggers an area of the court to light up, and if you make the shot from that area you get an extra point. IDGAF rally since Rock and Jock is the GOAT league.
EDIT: Looking closer, I think that effect just the jump effect of the player and not the key lighting up.
The GOAT.

Yep, NBA Jam clone where the gameplay is sort of weak besides the dunking.
Good enough for me.

I'll be picking this up for sure. Looks better then I expected. That world hub kinda reminds me of NBA Street 2.
I don't think I've ever watched a single game of basketball but this looks really fun.
Sweet sounds like its gonna be a lot of fun

It's obviously more NBA Jam than NBA Street.

Looks like it should be a fun time. I would like to get proper NBA Jam and NBA Street sequels eventually though.

Looks fine if a bit low budget and generic.
Animations look spot on for an NBA Jam clone which is good.
The actual visuals for the players and environments seem totally fine. It's everything around it.
I am in the minute I hear there is an option for a normal scoring system...

Yeah.
Whoa. Looks cool. I think this is something I could have a lot of fun with. Hope this turns out good....

I'm gonna pick it up on Switch as well, assuming it doesn't have performance issues.

Is there a steal or push move? I don't think I've seen one yet.

OK this looks fucking awesome. And I say this as a guy who has only ever enjoyed Double Dribble and NBA Jam basketball game wise.
Definitely getting this for my Switch.

They didn't mention local multiplayer... surely it has local multiplayer?
