NBA Live 97 1996 By: Electronic Arts

Storyline:

On every court, there are players and...everyone else. Players create. Players push the game beyond expected boundaries. In the arena of interactive b-ball, there's only one player: NBA Live 97. Real 5-on-5 hoops, with all 29 teams, complete rosters, and authentic strategy.

Take your man at the top of the circle with a spin dribble, then dish in mid-air when the big man cuts off the lane. Launch off the floor for a power slam. And before the ball is out of the net, call for a full court press, because you're still down a bucket. Be a player. Play NBA Live 97.
