Before Jordan vs Bird, there was One-on-One which featured Dr J vs Bird back in 1983. It featured slam dunks, a referee, three point shots, shattering the backboard, and even instant replays. It was WAY ahead of its time.
+Retro Bear The official name of the game was called One-on-One. It was by EA (then known by their formal name, Electronic Arts). I had it for the Commodore 64.
Definitely can't forget that one, seeing that it was the first NBA team licensed game. And because it was a huge graphics upgrade from Double Dribble ( even though DD was the better game to play )
Also there was this streetball game on DOS of which I can't remember the name. Oh, also this--In Flight: www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=Micheal+Jordan+in+Flight&gid=1675
nice, I remember playing double dribble thinking wow the graphics are awesome. do evolution of nhl and NFL please! thanks for bringing back some memories.
The lack of NBA 2K for the Dreamcast is disturbing, especially considering this is supposed to be an evolution of Basketball video games. Don't think you realize how big of a leap those games were.
bad ass video dude..super props...you have captured all the aspects of b-ball gaming. i remember playing nba jam in the arcade for the first time..it was the most incredible thing i had ever seen at 13.
+LittleBugGaming Naw NBA live 16 looks like the greatest and most realistic basketball game ever, but it isn't 2k 16 does look amazing but just not as good, but 2k 16 play amazing it's the most fun basketball game I've played.
Arcade versions of games usually look better than their console counterparts. I think the Dreamcast was the first system to really match, and occasionally surpass, the Arcade in graphical quality.
I thoroughly enjoyed that.... I would like to add EA Lakers vs Celtics video game series, Coach K series (UNLV Runnin Rebs all day, breaking back boards), Run n Gun 2 and NBA Hangtime. Great Vid!!
I remembering it all as kids wow it’s amazing to see what we want through just to play a video game 🎮 wow . The new generation will never know the struggle thanks for showing it 🙌🏾🎥👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
I expected these games would be covered: - Lakers vs Celtics and the NBA Playoffs (EA, PC/Genesis 1989) - Run and gun (Konami, arcade 1993) - Street Whoop (Data East, Neo Geo 1994) - Super Slams (Banpresto, arcade 1995)

NBA Live '95 was the basketball game for the ages. I remember staying up till like 3 in the morning playing that game. watching this also makes me feel so old. I was a freshmen in high school when Live '95 came out. GREAT TIMES!!!!
Very nicely done. For basketball wondering if you also had the 1981 Mattel Intellivision version and the early 1980s versions of Konami basketball? Also, do you also have a historical evolution for football, ice hockey and soccer? Thanks!
Last but not least, GREATEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!! Dope underground beats to always ball to. They don't make em like they used to. 2k5 is legendary and ahead of its time...
You forgot Hoops(1989 NES), that was an awesome streetball game that really became one of the most fun and played basketball games of its time. Bomber, Jammer, Face, Barbie, Whiz, the characters were great. It had two player versus, one-on-one, two player vs computer, you-vs-computer, you as a team vs computer's team, and around the world. Great game, one of my favorites ever.
The other significant game left out, was NCAA Basketball made in 1992, which was only found on the SuperNintendo. The makers of this game didn't waste time designing elaborate stadiums, instead focused on gameplay and a 3D perspective that is now see in all basketball games now. It was EASILY the most realistic basketball game from a game playing standpoint, at that time. Game play was very smooth with realistic and accurate player actions. Speed of the game was almost perfect.

This was published 2009! 9 years later, and even better graphics and gameplay! Amazing!
NBA Street Was The Best They Need To Bring That Back👌👌
They did
They did
Yes!!!
I still have a PS2! I still play NBA Street vol. 2 all the time!
Before Jordan vs Bird, there was One-on-One which featured Dr J vs Bird back in 1983. It featured slam dunks, a referee, three point shots, shattering the backboard, and even instant replays. It was WAY ahead of its time.
Yeah can't find dr. J vs Bird anywhere. I'm currently doing some gameplay vids on all of the ones that I can find
+Retro Bear The official name of the game was called One-on-One. It was by EA (then known by their formal name, Electronic Arts). I had it for the Commodore 64.
cool thanks
You have forgotten "Lakers vs. Celtics" from 1989. That was a real milestone.
+dralger Exactly.. Classic one!!
Definitely can't forget that one, seeing that it was the first NBA team licensed game. And because it was a huge graphics upgrade from Double Dribble ( even though DD was the better game to play )
Also there was this streetball game on DOS of which I can't remember the name.
Oh, also this--In Flight:
www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=Micheal+Jordan+in+Flight&gid=1675

THANK YOU! I came here trying to find this one, as I couldn't remember its name! It was really a milestone!
nice, I remember playing double dribble thinking wow the graphics are awesome. do evolution of nhl and NFL please! thanks for bringing back some memories.
Who's watching in 2020
8 years after this video was released, the graphics of video games are getting more and more realistic.
Great video man! So many memories!
The lack of NBA 2K for the Dreamcast is disturbing, especially considering this is supposed to be an evolution of Basketball video games. Don't think you realize how big of a leap those games were.
And the free throws for Sega Sports/ESPN NBA 2K was the hardest.
2K Sports NBA 2K will be only the best basketball game series.
You forget nba showdown. 94 the year before live classic game for the sega genesis
Nope nba jam was good double dribble nba 2k17 ps3 i havent played nba 2k18 yet or madden or wrestling 2k18 yet eventually hi im scott

Great video. Brings back good memories. I've played all those games!
Awesome vid. Brought back memories.
Can we all just agree that nba2k is better than nbalive
+Caleb Mccusker yes 2k is a lot better
+LittleBugGaming Naw NBA live 16 looks like the greatest and most realistic basketball game ever, but it isn't 2k 16 does look amazing but just not as good, but 2k 16 play amazing it's the most fun basketball game I've played.
+Rohit “Awesome” Sarwal *doesn't

Man, AWESOME work :)

Missing NBA 2k dreamcast.. crazy how nba jam looked better than PS graphics too.
Arcade versions of games usually look better than their console counterparts. I think the Dreamcast was the first system to really match, and occasionally surpass, the Arcade in graphical quality.
Insane how video games and technology changes over the years… I can only imagine what the future has in store! Great video
Music like this transcends emotion. If you are unhappy, you will feel accordingly.
Tv sports basketball? Magic johnson basketball? Amiga 500
Why u give a fuck! The idea is just to show the evolution!!!
Oops, looks like you forgot nba 2k16 also
Lol
The video was made in 2009 idiot
I thoroughly enjoyed that.... I would like to add EA Lakers vs Celtics video game series, Coach K series (UNLV Runnin Rebs all day, breaking back boards), Run n Gun 2 and NBA Hangtime.
Great Vid!!
NBA Street and Street Vol 2 were the best Fun basketball games with all the crazy moves, dunks blocks, and overall experience playing through them.
I remembering it all as kids wow it’s amazing to see what we want through just to play a video game 🎮 wow . The new generation will never know the struggle thanks for showing it 🙌🏾🎥👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video....I´ve enjoyed a lot....thanks
Great video, thanks for bringing that up.
1:45-2:03 is best ever!
I had "Magic Johnson's Fast break" when I was a kid. That was a good one and worth adding.
Omg i would cry when i see this. Brings back some memories.
NBA Street Vol.3 and Homecourt those were pure AWESOMENESS!!
YESSS NBA JAM was the one I was looking for! Such a fun game.
Those first videos of the OLD games they showed actually looked pretty fun. :)
awesome video dude
This is a pretty sick video, I have to admit
Dope as Instrumental :)

- Run and gun (Konami, arcade 1993)
- Street Whoop (Data East, Neo Geo 1994)

That beat is sick!

THERE IS SOMETHING THAT FALLS OUT FROM MY EYES WHEN I SEE DOUBLE DRIBBLE ! I LOVE THAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
Last but not least, GREATEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!! Dope underground beats to always ball to. They don't make em like they used to. 2k5 is legendary and ahead of its time...

Mate, awesome!
omg this brings back so many memorys from when I was little I used to play NBA live 05 all day everyday
The "shot" meter in NBA shootout was GREAT
NBA street was awesome. I loved doing breakdance moves while dribbling the ball around people.
Good Evolutions.
Dude I remember NBA Street Vol. 2 having the best graphics ever...
I like how at the end you show how electronic bball went from blocks to real graphics
nice video :)
Xzibit - Paparazzi ♫
Papparazzi still sounds good!
Double Dribble was so much fun when I was a kid, launching half court shots
NBA Live 2003 is my personal favorite, PS2, still play it and make my 76ers a Super team
I am crying this video I am memory my childhood day when I was played basket ball game
The other significant game left out, was NCAA Basketball made in 1992, which was only found on the SuperNintendo. The makers of this game didn't waste time designing elaborate stadiums, instead focused on gameplay and a 3D perspective that is now see in all basketball games now.

NBA Jam 93, massive leap in gameplay quality! Even if they were exaggerated moves etc still pretty smooth stuff
nice job man.

NBA live (2005) was my favorite one to play. I miss playing it.
