About Basketball Stars

Basketball Stars, one of the most popular sport simulation games on MacVG, is a very fun and addicting basketball arcade game. You can face off AI and advance in the tournaments, play against your friends, or team up with your friends and defeat the bots! You can dribble, sprint, dunk, shoot, and do so much more in this game to score as many points as possible in the one minute session to win! Develop an offense strategy so you can score points easily without getting the ball stolen by the other player, or play an unbreakable defense so your opponents won't score! There's even special Supers to help you win the game! Play as your favorite team, complete achievements, and go sink those hoops!
