That's right, the best basketball videogame yet has arrived on the PlayStation 2, and we at IGN Guides couldn't be more delighted. It's got even deeper gameplay, more modes and an upgraded Franchise option, all of which make this already great series even better.

Inside, you'll find hints on getting off to the right start, in-depth profiles for all the teams in the league, offensive and defensive tips, and expert, game-tested strategies that will elevate your game.
