How To Play
There's an art to consistently sinking the ball from the foul line. As you play, you're looking over your shoulder at the basket. The cursor is moving randomly and is only partially under your control.
Line up your shot by centering the cursor over the basket...you can't ask for a better shot than this.
•
CROSSKEY — To center the cursor in the box on the backboard.
Three-Point Shootout
You've got to get in the "rhythm." Shoot five balls from each of five different locations around the 3 point line and watch the fans cheer when you put one in the hoop.
Choose WARMUP before challenging the best of the NBA. Do it...let it flow...get the timing and you get the basket.
