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.
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.
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].
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

ankles easily.
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.
Increased shot accuracy
When shooting, press two or more turbos. This gains
about 15% of accuracy.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Recommended players
Once you have Stretch Monroe, keep him in your lineup
because he is a very good blocker.
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".
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.
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".
