Basketball Stars
Basketball Stars is a 2-player basketball game by Madpuffers where you hit the court as legends like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and James Harden. Play solo, team up with a friend or challenge them in fast-paced hoops action!
Basketball Stars is the prequel to the popular game Basketball Legends, another fun sports game you can play for free at CrazyGames on your desktop or mobile device.
How to Play Basketball Pros
Play solo or with a friend
Team up with your friends cooperatively or play solo in 1v2 and 2v2 quick-match basketball games. You can also play head-to-head. If you’re playing seriously, join tournament mode and scrap your way through the heats to become the ultimate b-ball legend.
Shoot hoops like a pro
Basketball Stars stays true to the sport with alley-oops, and epic slam dunks that score you impressive points. Dash around and do epic jump shots to keep your opponent on their toes.
Each player in Basketball Stars has a unique ability, such as a mega dunk, defense, or fast break, so pick a pair that will bring home the trophy for you.
Basketball Stars Tips
There are no 3-pointers in Basketball Stars, so you can refrain from taking long-distance shots, unless there is a very good reason to do so during the game.
Watch out for the SuperShot, which gets charged in the top-left of your screen: once it's fully loaded, it can be activated by pressing Z, and your player will execute a spectacular slam dunk, regardless of his position on the pitch.
