What is your favorite all-time sports video game?

For me, that's an easy question!

My favorite is NBA Jam TE, without a doubt.

From the over-the-top gameplay to the amazing, historic throwback to the 90's NBA players to the nostalgia that comes from hearing the words "boomshakalaka," "he's heating...oh my, he's on FIIIRE," and of course "ugly shot...it's good," NBA Jam TE was an instant classic arcade game as well as console game.

My personal favorite version of it is on the Sega Genesis, because the controller seemed to operate with the mechanics of the game better than the SNES (that might be total bias though, because I was a Sega kid growing up) and it was one of the first Sega Genesis games I ever played (total nostalgia right there haha).

I needed a break from my usual weekly games I have on my backlog and I had some extra time, so I decided to attempt something I had never even come close to achieving before.

Yes, I am talking about the full longplay of NBA Jam TE.

Beating every single team until you become the Grand Champion.

I have achieved Grand Champion status many times before, and even twice on this specific cartridge.

I used to input the 3 letters STP to record my wins and losses, since I love 90's rock and the Stone Temple Pilots (especially the Core album) were one of my favorites.

Since I already had two complete run throughs of this game underneath STP, I decided to flip the script and go with NIN, short for one of my other favorite 90's bands, Nine Inch Nails.

I really just decided to go for it!

I not only ended up completing the entire longplay of the game, becoming the Grand Champion of NBA Jam TE underneath my new 3 letters NIN, but also achieved a new Personal Best of 27-3!

I even played 1 additional game with the unlocked extended roster to have the same amount of wins as my previous 2 playthroughs. So I finished the run officially at 28-3 in one sitting.

This ended up being not only my longest stream to date, but also a truly amazing personal accomplishment, completing my favorite sports game of all time in just 1 sitting.

I hope you enjoy it!

And also, in case you were wondering, although I did play the entire stream as my beloved Chicago Bulls, I made the record of 27-3 you see on the thumbnail for this video in purple and yellow as a shout out to the late, great Kobe Bryant. He was just a little too young to be in NBA Jam TE, but he will always stay in any NBA fan's mind as one of the greatest to ever play the game.

Cheers and I hope you have fun watching me achieve a childhood dream, all in one sitting!

And oh yeah, I want to one day complete this run with a 27-0 record, especially since the 3 losses I suffered were all BS in my mind, but hey, that's all part of the magic of this game!

Rock on!
