If you notice that your game is running slow when playing, simply press Alt + Tab and it will minimize NBA Live 2003 and go to your Desktop. Click NBA Live 2003 on the menubar again and it will go back to the game. You will now notice that everything will run smoother again. If you have a sucky videocard, I recommend doing this trick everytime a quarter ends so that everything will be refresed and the game will run smoother.
