Disney Sports Basketball is part of a series of GameCube-exclusive games combining sports with Disney characters, offering three-on-three hoops. Players can choose from eight teams, each captained by a Disney character. The remaining players on each team are generic characters, except for Huey and his brothers. Each team has its own home arena to play in. Available modes include exhibition games for up to four players, a 14-game season with seven home and seven away games, and the Challenge Cup – a competition against six other teams that can be selected freely. Winning this cup unlocks the All-Star Game mode, where only star characters can be selected. A tutorial mode is also available to teach the game's controls.
Gameplay on the court is simple, with one button for shooting, one for stopping the dribble and keeping the ball away from the defender, and two for passing to teammates. On defense, two buttons block and steal, and two switch to other players. Scoring increases a power meter that can fill up to enable special moves and super dunks that net more points than usual.
There are no fouls or free throws in this game, giving it an arcade-like feel. The game has been released on December 19th, 2002, for the Gamecube console.
