EA Sports BIG's 3-on-3 arcade basketball. One of previous generation's greatest games. It's fun because you can play as your favorite NBA player on the same team. You play this sport in a way that you can't do in an actual NBA game: no goal-tending, lots fancy dribbles (even for centers) known as tricks, high-flying dunks, dunk off the backboard, 1 point for a jump shot, lay up or dunk, 2 points for shots beyond the arc. You can perform a series of blocks or steals, tricks then the dunk for the finisher. Doing these will fill up a gamebreaker meter where a successful shot will give you the same score but subtract from the opponent's, giving you a huge advantage.
Aside from the NBA players, you also get to play as the guest characters. Each game has it's own set of Street Legends specializing on a specific skill like ball handling, shooting, blocking, power, and dunking. It also adds humor to the game.
It's also one of the few games where you can play as His Airness Michael Jordan. NBA Street Vol 2 even has 3 variations of MJ.
