I did cringe at that old AI, though; pulling up for the potential gamewinning shot in regulation from beyond half court instead of making the long pass for a better look, and then backing it out to halfcourt for a jumpshot in overtime. On the plus side, if you could force the CPU into those situations, you could win a lot of games.

Brent Barry re-enters NBA dunk contest at age 34
He's not done yet! 10 years after winning the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, the aging 3PT specialist will make an unprecedented comeback attempt! Spurs fans are ecstatic, young contestant hopefuls are disappointed, and everyone else is just plain baffled. We're just a few days away from seeing what Brent Barry has up his sleeve.
Jamison and Arenas snubbed?
The votes are in, and some Wizards fans might want to look away this year. Even outside Washington, many fans and analysts felt Arenas and/or Jamison had earned a spot on the Eastern All-Star team. After all, Jamison leads the league in PPG and is top 10 in FG% and RPG. Arenas averages just under 17 PPG and leads the league in APG and SPG. Despite such impressive production, Wizards fans will have to settle with a lone dunk contest appearance from Jamison.

I actually had my capture card rolling for my first Rockets game in case something noteworthy happened as the live moment typically beats a replay. Lol @ that Jamison fail right out the gate, and then the Andre Miller fail to cap it off ; stupid shit like that still happens in Live 10.
Looking forward to that dunk contest. Jamison is an odd choice, even in his prime; I was hoping he would get a bid in the game.

Too bad Jaric didn't make the three-point shootout.

Nope, that's in the vanilla game.Too bad Jaric didn't make the three-point shootout.
Andrew wrote:Really nice job with the All-Star highlight reel. I thought Shaq was going to take a three there, similar to his awkward attempt in the 1995 game.
From memory, he'd pledged to take at least five threes during the game, but only attempted the one.
