About This File
Based on the NBA Live '96 video game for Sega Genesis, and inspired from the NBA Live 15 Hardwood Classics rendition, this updated version contains the latest NBA teams and rosters for the 2020-2021 season (including a workaround to play with the New Orleans Pelicans). So enjoy your retro gaming hoops, but with the next generation players. Run a full season and win your way to the Finals, or lineup against the latest All-Stars (2021 Team LeBron vs. 2021 Team Durant). Check out the Rookies vs. the Sophomores, or perhaps give the 2019 USA FIBA team a go!
Quote🏆 Special shoutout to @UltraMagnus for the team logo hacks. He be gettin' at it!
