About Basketball Stars
Basketball Stars is a fast one-on-one court game with room for both careful scoring and bold plays. Drive inside for a dunk, pull up from distance when a defender backs off, and use blocks or steals to turn defense into the next point.

Make each possession count
Do not sprint toward the hoop on every play. A small change of direction can create the space needed for a safer shot, while staying close to your opponent makes their next attempt harder. Watch the super-shot meter and use it when a normal scoring chance is not available.
The best defensive play is often patience. Stay between your opponent and the basket, then challenge the release instead of jumping too early.
