And1 Streetball is a street-style basketball game developed by Black Ops Entertainment and published by Ubisoft for the Xbox in 2006. The game captures the urban streetball scene with stylized courts, high-flying moves, and cultural flair unique to playground basketball.
Gameplay is based on 3-on-3 matches featuring smaller teams, shorter game times, and no referees. Players perform flashy dribble moves, alley-oops, epic dunks, and trick passes using timing-based mechanics and combo systems. The game includes a “Shut ‘Em Down” meter that fills as players execute stylish play; filling it unlocks special abilities and boosts performance.
Modes include single-player tournaments, one-on-one challenges, and a “Create-a-Baller” feature that allows deep customization of character appearance, skills, and signature moves. Local multiplayer supports up to four players, offering competitive gameplay across diverse street-inspired courts.
Graphically, the game showcases vibrant urban environments with announcer-style commentary, a soundtrack featuring hip-hop and R&B tracks, and animated art-style overlays during special moves. The pacing is fast, unpredictable, and designed to evoke the real-world streetball atmosphere.
