Spotted at the Smoking Section:
NBA Jam is coming back.
Yes, that 1993 game brought me as much joy in that era as much as Baywatch bikini slow-mo jogging. The game had its obvious flaws like Michael Jordan’s absence, but in retrospect didn’t that add to his legend? As a result the sub-par Pippen/Grant combo proved to be more memorable in the process.
What was your favorite on court duo? Most would say Malone/Stockton or LJ/Mourning. But you couldn’t sleep on the Rony Seikly/Glen Rice tandem or how about Jeff Hornacek/Clarence Weatherspoon pairing?
Now that EA Sports bought the rights, I’m curious on what they’ll decide to do for the Wii console. As long as they bring back classic phrases like “He’s on Fire!” I’m straight. Either way, I know I’ll be throwing the control across the room in defeat as well as gloating in victory screaming “Boomshakalacka!”
So EA bought the rights? Hm, not too surprising considering that their NBA Street Series was essentially a flagrant jack of the OG game. Still, I hope they got those codes where you can dunk from your opponents’ free throw line or when you can ball as Bill Clinton and the Phoenix Suns gorilla.
YEAHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
LETSSS GOOO!
Can I get a pre-order?
GREATEST BASKETBALL GAME EVER.
YESSSSSS!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HE”S ON FIRRRREEEEEEEEEE
avid video game player right here and i gotta say i feel blessed that this game is back! the akron hammer and the big witness protection, im getting it in!
haha i loved this game…
glad to see it’s back
p.s.
super nintendo was the best gaming
system of all time!
is it the shoes haha
I wonder if they will keep the 5 man rosters on each team. I remember Jordan wasn’t on the game. I wonder if Kobe and Lebron will do the same.
niiiiiicee
Seattle Sonics
Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp was a beast all day on the SNES
^^^^^complacent knos wats up… that was the duo right there.. but fuck a Super Nintendo, NBA Jam Tournament Edition on Sega Genesis was the ish!
yoo even if they brought it back 2d, same graphics and sh1t im down. as long as theres online play and updated rosters.
Online play for NBA Jam would be ridiculous!
Saw this earlier to on TSS…Reggie Miller and Rik Smits all day bitches
FROM DOWN TOWNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
Jason Williams and Sam Casell!
i hope they dont make it all stupid…third party wii games suck…
Arenas and Crittenton, homie
tournameny edition was the shit…gonna have to go with penny hardaway and nick anderson. o yea and horace grant was the other player. doesnt get much more 2dope than that!…although i gotta admit the sonics team did run shit and mark price was the best 3 pt shooter and fastest player in the game no doubt
lol spence
This will make me buy a Nintendo Wii
Naw Reggie Miller had the best jumper and he’d take u to the paint…think the game was fixed though if u put it on the hardest difficulty level cuz it used to make it so it was always close at the end
BOOM SHAKALAKA!!!
Oh yea payton n kemp was the duo, but im rolling wit kobe n lamar odom on this one! KG n PP/Ray allen could be nice too. HEATING UP!!! HE’S ON FIRREEEE!!!!!
so how long until yall hype goes down after you realize it’s for the wii and not your ps3/360?
So are they just gonna have two Devin Harris’ for the Nets? Cuz that’s all they got…
NASH/AMARE ALL DAY
Chris Webber & Juwan Howard were my team back then because they’d dunk on just about anybody in that game… Payton & Kemp were nice too.. In the new game I’d probably go with Melo & Kmart (or Birdman)… Melo could do it all and Kenyon/Birdman is a beast.
I used to play with Hardaway & O’Neal…
wow, a penny reference…
remember penny, smooth like copper but breakable graphite
word to kanye, they could have called him mr. glass
payton and kemp ftw.. all day baby.
OOOVERTIIIIME!!
I used to run shit with Rex Chapman and someone else. Can’t remember dudes name, but Rex was puuuuuuure from outside.
BOOM SHAKA LAKA!! IS IT THE SHOES?!!?! AIRPLANE NOISE!!!!

HE’S ON FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
payton/kemp all day!!!!!!!!!! starks/ewing was my shit too….
http://thecollegecurb.blogspot.com
Naw Fuck That…I”m Still Mad Cause They Didn’t Put Jordan On That Game Cause Jordan & Pippen Would Smash Anyone…Real Talk…But I Knew That Wasn’t Going To Happen Cause Of That Restriction Jordan Had With People Using Him In Games…He Sucked For That…But They Had His Ass In Live 96…He Was A Beast On That Bitch…
But Modern Day Now…I’d Be Playing With Ginobili & Duncan…
Ginobili Is The Most Underrated Player In The History Of The NBA No Lie…He’ll Smash On Nigga’s And His Drive & Shooting Game Is Ridculous…Yet He Never Gets The Propps He Deserve…The Spanish Jordan Is How I See Him…
Props* Lol
Naw remember when they used to put a extra player on the Bulls?! Lol His name was actually “Player”…*Dead*
Lmao I Know Right…That Shit Was Pathetic…They Did That Shit To Kobe Bryant’s Courtside Game On Nintendo 64…I Was Like Laughing The Whole Time And Playing With Him For Fun Like…This Nigga Suck
When was Payton in NBA Jam?? He wasn’t in it. But who could fuck with Thunder Dan Majerle and Sir Charles Barkley!? Or Olajuwon and Vernon Maxwell or David Robinson & Sean Elliott!?
Ewing & Starks Was Gangsta…
kemp and payton all day
Coleman/Anderson were my main duo. But i liked Richmond/Tisdale too.
i fucked wit lonzo and larry
kobe n gasol, mayo/gay n randolph, durant n green/westbrook
how about Joe Johnson and J-Smoove..now that would be fuckin sick!! Joe Johnson with the outside shooting and passing and Josh wit da sick dunks n blocks!
heres my top 3 duos in no order IMO..Joe Johnson/J-Smoove, Kobe/Gasol, Dwight/Carter
no joke, i just downloaded a Sega Genesis emulator and have been getting my Jam on for the past week.
brings back good memories. Sir Charles and KJ all day!
link for emulator?
Cosign Sir Charles and KJ lol
KG and Pierce would be crazy
Just search for “_________ emulator” then search for “____________ emulator installation guide”.
Google be mad knowledgeable dog.
WOW WOW WEE WOW!!! I had this on the GameGear, Sega’s response to GameBoy (wow, I feel old now…), I remember you could switch out players though too, so I always rock Shawn Kemp & Detlef Schrempf cuz dude had range!…I hope they bring it to the other consoles and not just Wii, otherwise I might have to snag one just for this haha!
greatest. video. game. ever. they better not change it too much
True that. Immense game that was. Very fun to play.
Ewing & Starks

click on the “Emulators” tab and select the one you want. Then choose an emulator (I chose Genesis Plus) and download. All of the games are under the “Rom Files” tab. Click the game you want and wait for the link.
