IF YOU CAN BACK IT - BRING IT!

The Ultimate Streetball Experience
Your game's too big for the arena, too cool for the hard courts. Take your game to the streets and play against the city's legendary ballers with NBA STREET by EA SPORTS. Lace up the 'tops, crank up the beats and let it roll. Hit the blacktop in the first over-the-top, three-on-three arcade-action streetball video game for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Play basketball the way it was supposed to be played: in the streets, outside the lines, and on your terms.
Homey Been Buggin'?
Don't trip. Loose that boy in front of the most animated crowds the streets have to offer. Take that boy to school and make him swivel with ankle breaking moves and "Oh no you didn't" dunks that show off your mad handles. Run the court with behind the back, between the legs, crossover dribbles and rain sweet three's from way downtown. Take control of the house and dominate the lane with your tenacious inside game or sky high above the rim and slam it home with authority. With off-the-backboard passes and swats of denial, your opponent won't come back for more. Stop... Pop... Drop-Count it. Bring your A game or don't bring your game at all.
School is in Session
It could very well be Stretch, the new funk-phenomenon of NBA STREET. Bring your weak skillz and Stretch will run you off the court. But if you have game, loose that boy and show him what's up. In NBA STREET, the more phat moves you bust out, the more props you get. Boost your Momentum Meter™ by pulling off playground-style moves. The more you pour on the heat, the bigger the boost. The bigger the boost, the bigger the moves. The bigger the moves, the bigger your game.
Once "you da man," take on all ballers in city circuit mode. NBA STREET challenges you to battle the best of the blacktop ballers on intricate streetcourts in neighborhoods all over the country. From the rooftops of downtown Los Angeles, to the snowy streets of Beantown, to inner-city blacktop showdowns and sun-soaked b-ball games by the beach, these are the toughest and hippest courts in the country.
After you finish an opponent, add a player from the team you just beat to your squad and work your way to a showdown against the streetcourt Legends. Even with M. J. on your side, the competition will try to make you leave the court with your head lowered and your tail tucked between your legs.
Look for NBA STREET for PlayStation®2 this Summer!
