Don't be fooled, though, as Live is not just a one trick game…even if that trick enables you to perform windmills and 720 slams. A mode that's sure to go down as one of the most addicting new ways to spend your time in any sports game this year.Ī mode that helps make NBA Live 2005 a must-buy for sports gamers looking for something more than your typical 5-on-5 action. You have just won the Slam Dunk contest in All-Star Weekend. When the panel of celebrity judges are shown, dunk legends like Dee Brown give Spud (and the player controlling him) the props he deserves…a perfect 50. The crowd of players sitting on the floor jumps to their feet, some recording the moment on camcorders, some just waving their hands in the air in amazement. Spud takes the ball and swoops it between his legs, not only once, but twice in a figure-eight style motion before finally slamming it home. After snatching the ball, Webb, still in the air, decides to do The Doctor one better. He places the ball down on the ground, kick flips it up over his head and off of the Jumbotron to the right of the basket, but instead of going after the ball, performs a front handspring then leaps into the air to grab the rock. At 5-6, nobody ever expected Webb to be in the competition in 1986, and now, almost twenty years later, the virtual Spud is ready to fly again. J just scored a 49 with an alley-oop off of the backboard, between the legs jam, and now the pressure falls on the smallest man in the contest.

Spud Webb steps out onto the floor for his first dunk.
