NBA are pretty basic. You move your player around using the control disc. Shooting, stealing, blocking, and passing are mapped to single button presses, although strangely enough, there is no turbo button in this game. You can, however, use other button combinations to execute jukes like jab steps, crossovers, pump fakes, and spin moves. Though, these fakes aren't all that useful, and since they simply unleash canned animations, they can be somewhat hard to control. If you try to get too fancy while you're close to the sideline, for instance, you're more likely to spin your player out of bounds rather than get by your defender.
