Played this one a lot as a kid. The gameplay was rough for sure, but Kevin Harlan and Bill Walton doing the commentary was amazing. 2 of the GOAT broadcasters
Didn't quite understand what you meant on stream last night when you said how this video did something different, but I now understand and this was incredibly well done, Beast and Craw.
Interesting that they used the 97-98 roster for this game. MJ had already retired before this game came out, Pippen had joined the Blazers, Rodman went to the Lakers, and Luc Longley went to the Suns.
To think Kerr, one of the best 3-point shooter of all time, was on the bench on this team is just insane. The Bulls really were insane during this era. And I loved the commentary here, it was funny and made it a little more exciting.
Love the sportscenter-like commentary. Like you did here, probably only need it for one game en route to the championship, likely reserving it for the closest one. Could even throw in some classic 'and boom goes the dynamite'-like lines.
I started this series the other day and I am hooked, I look forward to each episode. This series has really taken me back to an era where life was much simpler. Keep up the good work!!! Love these so much!!!
The commentary is actually amazing 😂 somehow found myself getting super intrigued in the game when I don't even like basketball and think sports games suck lmao, well played thab 👏
I remember meeting the Space Station Silicon Valley development team at E3 years ago. The game wasn't running too well at E3, but I did pick it up and play it through when it came out. What a great game. Too bad that there is a bug where you can't get the all the tokens, which locks you out of the bonus game. You can get the bonus game with a cheat code though.
The sports center highlight commentary might have been the best part. Love it when you keep trying to do something different..! I appreciate you man..!
I actually really likes the Sports Center type commentary. TBH was a little disappointed you didn't keep it up the whole time) still watched the whole vid though. Awesome content as always.
Finally caught up. Watched every episode in 2 days. Excited to see toy story 2. I replayed and 100% dk 64 and toy story 2 because I never was able to finish it when I was younger. Thank God for emulators.
I like your commentary more on this one. The change in tone and excitement makes it more engaging. I enjoy your commentary either way but the excitement from you does make it better
The commentary is a great idea for the sports games. Maybe you can spice up the NASCAR games a bit. Also loved your reaction to getting Silicon Valley. I remember renting that many times as a kid and never actually progressing very far.
Also, fun fact (kinda) about the Hornets in this game: do you know how they got Vlade Divac? They traded a rookie they had drafted the rights to you probably never heard of named something like Coby Brians? Absolute steal of a trade by the Hornets. The Lakers were so dumb! I know I'm being pedantic but and this is especially funny coming after my "Coby Brians" joke but the Suns star was named Antonio McDyess not Anthony lol
For those who wanna know, it dosen't play like nba jam because when acclaim ported the original games to home consoles they basically stole the name from midway so they had to start callin it by different names while acclaim had to get other developers to make it
Lonnie fink was he best. This is the first basketball game, or sports game with a “deep” franchise mode. We played it over and over. Simulation over simulation. It was sooo much fun. Again, Lonnie fink was the goat. Hope I have that name right
Nailed that Sports Center commentary 👊
What are you doing here??? 😝😝
:O Thank you
TH-cam is certainly a strange place..
The commentary was a great addition. Thanks for adding it
I agree. I enjoyed it.
I wish it would show his live reaction audio sometimes though. Just a few 2-4 second segments of audio would be super cool.

love how energetic Thab is in this one. Makes it fun to watch
Didn't quite understand what you meant on stream last night when you said how this video did something different, but I now understand and this was incredibly well done, Beast and Craw.
Definitely keep it up for the sports games.
Holy heck that commentary slaps. Please do more of this!
loved the sports center highlight reel thing you did ! made me laugh
I don't know why but the ending when Thab sounds so shocked at every number makes me laugh 🤣
[Number]?! What is *that* ?
10/10 commentary. Your writing on these videos is OUTSTANDING
That commentary was on point! I've never been so engaged in sports in my life!
Interesting that they used the 97-98 roster for this game. MJ had already retired before this game came out, Pippen had joined the Blazers, Rodman went to the Lakers, and Luc Longley went to the Suns.

They just didn’t value 3-pointers back then, not until Kerr himself coaches the best shooter of all time.
Love the sportscenter-like commentary. Like you did here, probably only need it for one game en route to the championship, likely reserving it for the closest one. Could even throw in some classic 'and boom goes the dynamite'-like lines.

The commentary was awesome! It made the game seem much more exciting.
I loved the sports commentary! It hyped me up at least. I could immediately tell you were going for that because it was so on point.
The commentary is actually amazing 😂 somehow found myself getting super intrigued in the game when I don't even like basketball and think sports games suck lmao, well played thab 👏
Even Thab breaking the hearts of Suns fans! Love the series and the commentating, keep it up!
Don’t second guess yourself bro. You are funny and entertaining, this is the best TH-cam series I’ve seen in a very long time.

I liked the sportscenter style commentary. It definitely adds to the experience
Loved the highlights commentary! Got hyped up for the game. All glory to the coach!
4:40 I loved the sports center commentary Thab!
I truly felt like I was at the game with a playoff atmosphere all thanks to your color commentating and analysis!
4:08 I've never been so excited watching a sports video game lol
Don't doubt yourself... Your commentary was awesome!
What happened to the endless no skip? I was watching it then it buffered and disappeared.
Discovered this series a few days ago and finally reached the end of the playlist. Now I feel empty inside.
Loved the commentary on this one definitely keep it up!
I freaking love this series. [Beating every n64 game I dont like sports games but even this one was interesting, thanks!!]
My most anticipated game in this series is Perfect Dark. Can’t wait to see what Thab thinks
Definitely up there for me. Also looking forward to Road Rash and the 2nd Battle Tanx
Conkers bad furday #1
Dude the commentary is on point for this one mate , keep it up buddy!!
loved the commentator highlight thing
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that keith van horn made the cover of an NBA game? 🤯
Love the sports commentary. You should definitely do that when you can!
Bro your commentary on here is solid, love this series please keep it up!
The sports center highlight commentary might have been the best part. Love it when you keep trying to do something different..! I appreciate you man..!
Two videos at once feels like a real treat, almost makes me hope you get all the sports games lol
The play by play commentary made the video for me. These sports games get a little repetitive, so I like how you spiced it up.
great commentary, what a thrill!
Love the sideline commentary. I wouldn’t mind future sports games having this.
Love the basketball vids, and this entire series!! Keep it up beast!
I don't know how I ended up in this series, BUT love it so far. Nice work Thabeast
i really enjoyed the sport commentary. two overtimes in the first game!! that was wild
Good commentary, but also an amazing double overtime match!
I think the sports commentary fit well and I liked it.
Yoooo I love this vid!! Great work, dude
Great video. Those games actually looked very fun to play.
I actually really likes the Sports Center type commentary. TBH was a little disappointed you didn't keep it up the whole time) still watched the whole vid though. Awesome content as always.
This video was so much better than I thought it'd be. I like the sport center commentary.
Great basketball vid. Love to hear all these 90s stars working hard
Awesome new vid Thab!
I didn't know there was an NBA Jam on 64. What I've always thought of was the Sega Genesis games. NBA Jam T.E. was the GOAT
love the commentary :) and also this series! thx thab
Once you beat them all, I'll make sure to work on a certificate for you. Good luck beating all the Nintendo 64 games!
Finally caught up. Watched every episode in 2 days. Excited to see toy story 2. I replayed and 100% dk 64 and toy story 2 because I never was able to finish it when I was younger. Thank God for emulators.
If I’m not mistaken “Jam Mode” is legit nba jam with ridiculous summersaulting and balls on fire. Seems NOBODY on TH-cam selects this mode.
My favorite series in all youtube.
This looks so much better than the previous NBA game. Much sharper and the textures on the floor are more detailed.
Sport Center commentary was really good. Keep it up
The commentary was great imo. Great work!
SportsCenter style highlights are great!
I like your commentary more on this one. The change in tone and excitement makes it more engaging. I enjoy your commentary either way but the excitement from you does make it better
The sports commentary was spot on!
It always cracks me up how he's called Roster Guard. lol
Holy shit that first game against the Nets was epic lol. Kerr with the clutch 3.
Keith Van Horn has to be the oddest cover star choice of all time
I was a fan of the Sports Center play calling. Adds an element of excitement to the video.
RIP Bobby Phills, Hornets guard who died shortly after this game was released in a car accident.
Still don’t understand how Keith Van Horn got that cover
The sports commentary you did was excellent
Dude, you killed the commentary. I hope one day to watch you live.
Sports Center commentary would have been even better with the line "Boom Goes the Dynamite"
Anyone know which 3 games Thab doesn't have listed?
Two versions of Mario 64 and Disney ddr
Like how you just referred to him as Jordan the whole time
I'm waiting for snowboard kids. I played the hell out of those games as a kid.
The sports commentator was amazing…. Oh wait it was thab!! you really made that video fire
Script was awesome on this one Thab. Well done!
The commentary is a great idea for the sports games. Maybe you can spice up the NASCAR games a bit.
Also loved your reaction to getting Silicon Valley. I remember renting that many times as a kid and never actually progressing very far.
The Sports Center highlight reel was super entertaining!
Congratulations on 59.000 subscribers! You know how extremely much that is!
Loved the commentary!!
The play-by-play was a nice touch. I liked it.
I enjoyed your commentary in this Video!
golden age of thabeast content creation
Also loved the highlight reel commentary 👍👍
2 updates in a day, we are blessed!
Also, fun fact (kinda) about the Hornets in this game: do you know how they got Vlade Divac? They traded a rookie they had drafted the rights to you probably never heard of named something like Coby Brians? Absolute steal of a trade by the Hornets. The Lakers were so dumb!
I know I'm being pedantic but and this is especially funny coming after my "Coby Brians" joke but the Suns star was named Antonio McDyess not Anthony lol
I thoroughly enjoyed the sports centre style of commentary
Love the commentary. You're a funny dude
I hated this game bc of the heavy rubber banding. And your sports commentary is great. Do that!
Is this series still running?
Wait until you get to play NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC. Arcade basketball with fun cheat codes and the original NBA on NBC theme song, super nostalgic!
Jason Kidd sighting! Coaching the Mavs to a decent season so far this year!
For those who wanna know, it dosen't play like nba jam because when acclaim ported the original games to home consoles they basically stole the name from midway so they had to start callin it by different names while acclaim had to get other developers to make it
Great job on the sports commentator gig!
BTW love this series!!!! Watched every single one
It is Antonio McDyess from the Suns
Keep them coming, great content :-)
6:32 Antonio McDyess btw :D
Lonnie fink was he best. This is the first basketball game, or sports game with a “deep” franchise mode. We played it over and over. Simulation over simulation. It was sooo much fun. Again, Lonnie fink was the goat. Hope I have that name right
I remember when I was a kid, Air Roster Guards were the most popular shoe.
