NBA Street Showdown is a basketball game for the PlayStation Portable developed by Canadian studio Team Fusion. It was released in 2005, and is the fourth game in the NBA Street series and the first to be portable. It features the gameplay elements of NBA Street Vol. 2, but the presentation of NBA Street V3. The game primarily features minigames, shot blocker and arcade shootout, as well as quick game modes. You can play head to head in all of these through ad hoc mode. To unlock courts, play King of the Courts, where your objective is to defeat a neighborhood street team in games and then in a challenge. Playing the team in shot blocker or playing them in a game without trick points are two challenges. You can play with all current NBA teams and previous teams made up of legendary players.
