in Be A Legend mode.
Biggie Little and special
trick move the Biggie Little: Clear the Foster Beach tournament (single
elimination) This unlocks him in create a team.

This unlocks him in create a team.

unlocks him in a create team.
Julius Erving ( Dr. J): Clear
the Legendary Challenge in Be A Legend mode. This is the final Boss, not a
tournament.
Hint:
Unlock last challenge in Be A Legend mode: You must play five more pickup games to go from a score of 440 to
450 to unlock the last Rucker Court. They must be pickup games (no tourney
or challenges), but can be on any court. Once this is done, you will unlock
the court and have access to sweep the legends on their home turf.
Hint:
Easy reward points: Select "Pick Up Game", then choose the legend
difficulty setting. Pick the team of your choice. Then, choose the "My
Rules" option and set the "Points Up" to "20" on
your side. You can do this by highlighting the section and pressing Right.
You will now get 150 reward points each time by only scoring one point.
Go to the Street School and
enter a new name. After finishing school (26 lessons) you will get 1,000
reward points. Repeat this as many times as desired. Just keep making new
names (identities), then delete them after you get the 1,000 reward points.
This is an easy way to get rewards or build up your created players.
In Be A Legend mode, start by
focusing on the "Handles" and "Dunks" skills. This
allows you to rack up a lot more trick points. In turn, you get more GB2s
and much more development points. You can have a perfect baller in about
75/500 progress. It is possible to regularly get over 3,000,000 points per
game, in turn getting an average of 675 to 700 development points for each
victory.
During the game, always pocket
your GameBreaker and use GB2s only. Your trick points are highly increased
for this.
Always get at least four
fakeouts (not tricks), before each point. Throw the ball off their head,
then pull three different 3-button fakeouts before attempting a basket.
To get easy trick points, as
soon as the opponent's team gets the ball and tries to shoot or dunk it,
steal it from them. Pass it to someone and have him do some tricks. Then,
hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and press Square
as you get to the rim to do a special dunk. As soon as you dunk it, a
message will appear at the bottom, stating what you have done (for example:
"Steal + Trick + Trick + Dunk combo"). That combo will give you at
least 30,000 total points. It basically ranges from 25,000 to 45,000 points,
depending on what you do. Remember, do combos to get more trick points.
On offense, take the ball up
court (to about the other team's two point arch) and do a pump fake. The CPU
or player who is guarding you will usually jump up to block the
"shot". When they land, do an "Of The Heazy" move. After
you catch the ball, run up and do a level 4 dunk. This will give you a very
large amount of trick points, and may even get you a GameBreaker if the
meter is low.
If one of your friends just
gave you a GameBreaker or if you want to give them one, hold the Turbos
and press Trick. Make sure no one is very close to you, as it will be
very easy for them to steal the ball. This gives you about 5,000 points. If
you keep repeating the trick, the points will decrease.
Play a pick-up game and set it
for NBA scoring, and score 2. Make the first shot and you will get about 50
reward points.
Enable the "Unlimited
turbo" code. ,Then get a player that can do a Slip 'n' Slide. Start
from the middle of the court. Do three Slip 'n' Slides, then have your
player do any type of dunk. It cannot be a layup or a short range shot. You
will get between 10,000 to 15,000 reward points, depending on how well you
did the move. Do not do more than three Slip 'n' Slides, as each time you do
a Slip 'n' Slide you get less reward points.
Select "Play It",
then choose "Pick Up Game". Note: Make sure that you have a NBA
Street profile; if not, the reward points will not be saved. Then, choose
the legendary (hard) difficulty setting. Select your team and ball park.
Then, choose "My Rules". Highlight the spot points with your Analog-stick
and keep pressing Right until you have 20 points. Start the game and
you will notice that you have the 20 points. Once you receive the ball, make
sure that you get a quick, close shot. If not, the other team will steal the
ball because you are playing at the hardest difficulty setting. Once you
make the shot, you will win the game and receive 150 reward points. If you
want to get more, keep selecting "Rematch" and it will
automatically take you to the game with 20 spot points. Repeat this as many
times as needed. Note: Remember to save.
Choose a Street Legend
(Bonafide, Stretch, Biggie Little, Dime, Osmosis, or Whitewater), then move
past half court. Hold Turbo and do a lot of tricks. Then, do Back 2
Papa followed by Off Da Heezay. Next, go up for their special dunk. You
should get up to 40,000 points and an easy one try GameBreaker.
When you are running down
court, wait for a person to go up for a ally-oop. While they are going up
and you are still moving forward, press L1 + R1 + X.
The person will throw the ball against the backboard and the person that is
going up will catch the ball off the backboard and throw it down. This move
is called Downtown Rebound.
Go to Street School and make a
user. Complete it you will get one thousand points to spend. Then, go to
"Options" at the main menu and go to "Delete". Delete
that user. Then, go back to Street School and make a new user. Complete it
again. You can repeat this as many times as desired. This works well with
create-a baller and Be A Legend-mode for money. It is time consuming and may
be boring, but is worth it.
To do better tricks, hold Turbo
then press Square. You will get more trick points.
To get many trick points in one
move, when your partner goes up for an Ally Oop do Back 2 Papa.
Hint:
Easy GameBreaker: Do Off The Wheezy five times then dunk when you have a
GameBreaker. After you pocket it, you well automatically gain your second
GameBreaker.
To get an easy GameBreaker, do
this combo about two or three times. First, do about three or four tricks.
Then, do about an Off The Heezay. Then, do a couple of pumpfakes followed by
several dishes (fake shot, then pass). You must do this without the shot
clock running out. Note: Change the shot clock time if desired.
Click Off The Hezzy five times,
wait five seconds, do Back To Papa, then a dunk.
Get a rebound or a block when
the other team has the ball. Then, pass it as soon as you get it to one of
your players. With that player, do a level 3 or 4 trick. Then, with that
same player, do a slam dunk. Do this three times and you will have a
GameBreaker.
Do the "Downtown
Rebound" move about two or three times to get a GameBreaker. Do this by
getting the ball and do the "Give 'n Go" trick. Then, move towards
the basket using two turbos then press Shoot. When you are high
enough, press Pass.
Get a player with good handles
(preferably Michael Jordan '96), and make sure your turbo meter is full.
Then hold the three Turbos and press Square. Then hold the
three Turbos and press Triangle. Next, do a Back 2 Papa and an
Off The Heezay. Then, press two Turbos and do a dunk. You should get
a Gamebreaker or be very close to it.
Do an Off The Heezay (L1
+ R1 + X) when next to a defender.
Hint:
GameBreakers: When you get a GameBreaker, pocket it by pressing Up. Your
next GameBreaker will be Vol. 2. This deducts three points from your
opponent when you take a 1 pointer.
Hint:
Back 2 Papa: When you are close to the rim, press the two Turbos + Pass.
If done correctly, you will throw the ball very hard to the backboard and
get the ball back. This results in a decent amount of points when you make a
dunk with the same player. If done wrong, the player will throw the ball, it
will hit the bottom board, and the other team will steal it. You need to be
at a good distance (not too close or far). Sometimes if you are close to an
opponent and try to do Back 2 Papa, it will do an Off The Heezy.
Hint:
Off the Heezay Alley Oop: Get the ball and go down the court. When one of your teammates
goes up for an alley oop, hold L1 + R1 and press X. If
there is a defender in front of you, it should bounce off his head into your
teammate's hands.
Hint:
Block and receive ball: When someone shoots the ball and you want to retrieve it, instead
of just throwing it back with your hand press the Turbos then Jump.
The player will grab the ball.
Hint-Easy
steal: Unlock the Nelly and the St. Lunatics team. Even though it does
not appear that they are good at steals, they are very good. If you do not
control the player that is guarding the CPU player, that player that is on
your team that you are not controlling will steal the ball.
Hint:
Easy Ally Oop: Tap L1 + R1 at the top of the three point line.
Wait, and if you have good timing, hit him for an ally oop. Sometimes this
may take at least four seconds because the players need to get set.
Hint:
Easy pick-up game wins: In the pick-up games, the CPU randomly picks from the available
no name players. If you go to "Create Player" and create a lot of
players with 0/5 for all stats, you will have a good chance of playing a
team that has a player with no stat points, making the game a little easier
to win.
Hint:
Easy NBA Challenge: Create a team with all the best players (your choice of draft, as
long as they have good stats). Have one player that can block well (for
example, Shaq or Yao Ming) and two good shooters(for example, Kobe Bryant
and Paul Pierce). Then, get two other players and pick NBA Challenge. In
each game, give the ball to Kobe on offense. Pump fake a player, and when he
jumps, go for the three pointer. If Kobe is trapped, use Paul instead. If
they are both trapped, press the D-Pad towards the rim, then press L1
+ R1 +X to pass the ball or confuse your opponent, which will
give you time for a pump fake, Slip'n slide, or just an open three. If
neither of those two shooters are open, drive the lane with Yao Ming or
Shaq. On defense, switch players until you get Yao Ming, and stand by the
rim. Press Block every time someone shoots or tries to dunk.
Hint:
Dunks and tricks: Note: The dunks are the default dunks for all current NBA
players, not legends.
Nerve Damage: Hold R1
+ R2 + L1 + L2 and press Circle. You will
shoot off the backboard, then dunk it in.
On Da Low Low: Hold R1 + R2 + L1 + L2 and
press Square.
The Hammer: Hold R1 + R2 + L1 and press Circle.
Check Yo Bags: Hold R1 + R2 + L1 and press Square.

This will be different with someone with a signature move, like Michael
Jordan.

A very good dunk that is hard to block.

Hint:
Michael Jordan's signature move: Hold L2 + L1 + R1 and run toward the rim.
Hint:
Easy fakeout: Press R2 + Square to break your opponents ankles
easily.
Hint:
Signature moves: To do a player's signature move with the ball, press L1 + L2
+ R1 and Circle (dunk) or Square (trick move). Note:
You can also do a fakeout move while running with the ball.
Hint:
Increased shot accuracy: When shooting, press two or more turbos. This gains about 15% of
accuracy.
Hint:
Iceman and Zeke moves: George Gervin does his finger roll at the beginning called
Iceman, and Isiah Thomas does a 360 finger roll called Zeke. It is random,
but to do their move choose them and have a wide open lane. Press Shoot
close (but not too close) to the basket and they will do it. Do Iceman on
the side and not the middle of the basket.

Hint:
Easy Street School: First, enter Be A Legend mode. Create a tall player with an
athletic build. Choose whatever teammates desired. When playing, take one
person and stand under the basket. Make sure that you are not directly under
the basket or you will hit the backboard and fall down. When they shoot the
ball, hold R1 + L1 and jump. You will catch the ball in mid
air. Hurry up the court, wait for someone to jump, then press X. You
will perform an alley-oop. Keep this up until you win. When you play in
tournaments, wait until you defeat the last team and choose their star
player (the first one you will get will be Stretch). When you play this
mode, your team members should be: your Created player, Stretch, Biggie
Little, Whitewater, and Bonafide. After you defeat the teams you will earn
Dev. points. Use them to improve your created player. After you complete Be
A Legend mode you will have unlocked most of the legends. Create a team with
these players: Your new and improved created player, Stretch, Biggie Little,
Julius Earving, and Bonafide. Use this team to complete NBA Challenge mode.
Street School will now be very easy.
Hint:
Getting to the rim: Use the following trick for an easy way to get to the rim if you
are congested at one place. If you are around the half court line and it
seems that the entire team is checking you, use the Give And Go to move
around them. Then, pass the ball back to yourself and go for the easy dunk.
Note: This will work with anyone with over 5' 11" in height and good
dunks and handles.
Hint:
Hit head on backboard: Go to the back of the backboard without the ball and jump. You
will hit your head on the backboard and fall.
Hint:
Fancy dribble: Pass the ball to a good dribbler. Then, lightly press the Analog-stick
towards the direction you wish to move. The player should start to do a
fancy dribble.
Hint:
Stretch: Signature moves: Stretch has two signature moves, Frow Fake (trick) and Stretch
(dunk).
Hint:
Recommended players: Once you have Stretch Monroe, keep him in your lineup because he
is a very good blocker.
Hint:
Get created players drafted: In order to get a created player drafted, play though the NBA
Challenge using a team with them on it. Get the NBA Challenge Trophy. and a
screen to put them on real NBA teams will appear. It is best if you use a
team with all created players on it. Also, an NBA jersey will be selectable
in "Edit Baller".
Hint:
Full stats on your baller before starting Be A Legend Mode: Create a baller. Do not start Be A Legend mode yet. Keep going to
Street School and keep making screen names for your game. Every time you
complete all 26 lessons, you will get 1,000 reward points. Development
points cost 1,200 reward points. Just buy development points until your
player is maxed out. You will start Be A Legend mode with all stats full.
Hint:
Created player recommendations: If you have a created player who has 5 blocks filled or a gold
crown, it does not mean that he is good. Height and athletic skill is more
important.If you create a chubby player, you are wasting DP. However, the
person that you created that is not that athletic can still have excellent
dunking. Athletic people can also dunk as well.
Hint:
Other tricks: You can perform tricks not listed in the game by simply having a
defender on you and pressing Trick while standing in front of
him/her. You will usually bounce the ball through the defender's legs.
Special Trick: Press L1
+ L2 + R2 + Square.
Special Dunk: Press L1 +
L2 + R1 + Circle.

Glitch:
Easy three pointers: Start a new "Be A Legend" mode game. There will be a
list of characters to choose from. One of them will be named
"Eddie" (light blue jacket with white striped sleeves, backward
red baseball cap). As you can see, his shots are only two blocks filled.
When you play with him in any game and go to the three point line, the dot
in the middle of the player indicator (red circle) will be red, meaning that
the shot is out of his range. However, the shot will go in, maybe even be a
swisher, about 75% of the time.
Glitch:
Rim fixes itself: Get a score that is one point from winning. Then, get a
GameBreaker 2. When you have possession of the ball, get to where you can
dunk it when you use the GameBreaker 2. When your player is in range, use
the GameBreaker 2. During the cinematic sequence, the rim will break, but
when the camera shows the players walking off the court, the rim
automatically "fixes itself".
Glitch:
Almost paused: Put "Manual" on the replays in the pause menu. Then, do
a dunk or shoot then press Square. A replay screen will appear. When
the ball is at the bottom of the basket, quickly select "Pause".
The basket will be moving, then stops. For a better effect, wait until the
ball is completely out of the basket.
