ASIN: B000042JZ4
NBA Basketball 2000 from Fox Interactive is a solid basketball game that any casual fan of the sport will enjoy.

Without a doubt, NBA Basketball 2000 is easily one of the best-looking PlayStation basketball games available. It, of course, includes all the standard sports-game features and licenses, so you'll see real teams and players, create-a-player mode, and the like. From the game's explosive FMV intro sequence to the effects-laden replays, it's easy to see that NBA Basketball 2000's visual presentation is top-notch...
