NBA Jam has withstood the test of time. It still is considered one of the best basketball video games of all time. The arcade-style of play is one that every fan can enjoy. No worrying about salary cap or where you land in the draft. Just turn the game on and prepare to have a ton of fun.
I remember my brother, (who could not name more than 10 basketball players) came home from school one day to tell me he won an NBA Jam tournament at school. He was explaining to me how he decided to go with my team, the Orlando Magic.
