From the OG up to the 3D shit, what's your favorite?

From just the amount of time I spent with it growing up - Jam TE for SNES.

The Jag has a phenomenal version, too.

If you're counting the DC, NBA Showtime:NBA on NBC.

The handheld versions are terrible.

NBA Hangtime on N64. It’s the pinnacle of the NBA Jam formula.
Awesome controls, team fire, alley-oops, custom chracaters, but does not stray too far from the core gameplay.
Every other Jam game pales in comparison.

The 32x version has potential, but goddam, using turbo on the genesis controller is just a PITA.

Jag version for me.

Not NBA Jam but I did like the NBA Street games.

What's the big deal? Have Turbo on B, you can easily hit A+B or B+C.

The Saturn and PSX versions of TE are pretty solid. Not as good as the arcade but still enjoyable.
