Defeating Michael Jordan one-on-one
Make one point and the ball goes to winner mode. When
he checks the ball, go with turbo [Down/Left] and then quickly
make a circle around him, go for the sheet, and dunk away. Keep
at this until you master faking him with a roll around cross over.
Save player creation points
Buy the options for create player super player: mohawk,
eye patch, etc. Create your player and use the options that you
bought. Save the roster, then load challenge from the memory card.
If done correctly, you will have your created player with the
new options as well as the original points that you bought the
options with.
Easy basket
When they check the ball to you, fake the shot and
they will jump. Run around them and dunk the ball.
Cheap fouls
Post up on the baseline and spin out of bounds. On
a fast break, stop when you get under the basket and press [R2]
+ [Circle]. When you face up, press [Square] repeatedly,
then shoot.
Strong pass
Press [L2] + [X] in one-on-one mode to pass
the ball quickly to your opponent.
Between the legs pass
Press [R2] + [X] in one-on-one mode to pass
the ball between your legs to your opponent.
Rolling pass
Press [R1] + [X] in one-on-one mode to pass
the ball by rolling it to your opponent.
Throw the bows (elbow)
Hold the ball and press [R2] + [Triangle]
+ [Left] or [Right]. This will not work if you are in
the paint. However, if you have the ball and are not dribbling
it you can do it.

Chingy announcement
Select an exhibition game and play as the Celtics versus
any team. Substitute SG Cheaney for anyone. When passed to or
scores, the announcers will say "Chingy the artists"
instead of Cheaney.
Glitch: Fights
Select arcade mode without any rules activated on two
players. Have one player on a team go to the opposite side of
the court. Go out of bounds behind the backboard so that you can
shoot at full court. Shoot a fade away towards the backboard.
The ball should bounce off the backboard. Continuously tap [X],
enabling any player on either team to touch the ball. The ball
will not move and both players will be free to push and fight
each other until someone grabs the ball. Note: Once the ball hits
the backboard, make sure the opposing team does not reach the
ball. You can now have fights by pushing each other by pressing
[Circle].
