My only goal is to reach the roster extension (beat all 27 teams in the TE version) as a new player account (your initials - that method of saving games has really gone out of style eh?)

It's surprising how many special characters are in the TE version of the game. I played a game with Bill Clinton yesterday!

I'm on my SNES with NBA Jam: Tournament Edition. It's been years since I fired up this game. I usually play as Chicago or Houston, if I recall correctly.

Plus I actually like the 360 interface better, which surprises me because I typically shy...
