Street’s sensational gameplay deftly combines competitive hoops and slick moves and dunks without delving into the realm of Jam’s absurd acrobatics.
-
The GameCube has some serious power, and this game showcases it well with fluid movements of on-screen characters and lush backgrounds that are detailed down to little bits of trash that blow across the court from time to time.

Game InformerA three-on-three b-ball masterpiece. [May 2002, p.84]
-
The only real negative is the fact that you have to leave the last two controller ports empty.
-
Nintendo PowerIt does for baseketball what "SSX Tricky" does for snowboarding. [Mar 2002, p.133]
-
As a game, NBA Street oozes quality and (more importantly) playability.
-
One of those rare games that is simply addictive.
-
The single player will eventually get repetitive after going through Hold the Court and City Circuit modes but if you are into multiplayer this is a can’t miss game.
-
It's polished and delivers tight gameplay, and it doesn't hand out sloppy seconds.
-
Quite a solid game, with a sharp, stylized presentation and action-packed gameplay, all stuffed with various ways to get a person to spend entirely too much time staring at the television.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyIt's the great gameplay and intense, "Harlem Globetrotter" action that really keep NBA Street trucking. [May 2002, p.112]
-
I feel that I have been proven wrong once again by this game. It doesn’t have to [be] a true simulation to enjoy the game.
-
NBA Street's greatest flaw is the fact that it is a port.
-
Where the game takes a steep drop from the PS2 version is in the controls - and this is totally because of the cumbersome design of the GameCube controller...[But it's] still a giant orange ball of fun.
-
The new Gamecube-only version improves on the experience with much better graphics, although the same underlying gameplay remains relatively unchanged.
