Dunking the ball is the most satisfying way to score points in basketball, it really rubs your opponents face in it.

“From the incredibly responsive gameplay to the life-like graphics, we believe that NBA LIVE 2001 for the PlayStation 2 is the most complete console basketball experience to date,” said executive producer Stan Chow. “Every feature we put into this game, from post moves to life-like player models, are there because we felt like it would bring users one step closer to being on the court. In making LIVE 2001 we wanted to push the capabilities of the PlayStation 2, as well as deliver what users have come to expect over the years from the LIVE series. We believe we were successful in translating our ideas into a fun and realistic basketball experience.”

With a killer hip-hop soundtrack and over 50 top NBA players to choose from the last five decades NBA 2001 is sounding like the definitive basketball title.
