Play Kobe Bryant's NBA Courtside Online
Dribble past defenders with smooth crossovers, throw down monster dunks with young Kobe, and feel that late-90s basketball vibe where every swish still hits just right. The game moves at that perfect pace where you can read the court but still pull off wild alley-oops when the moment’s right.
Game Overview
Kobe Bryant’s NBA Courtside on N64 is one of those late-90s basketball games that somehow still feels good to play. The controls are simple—just enough to pull off crossovers and alley-oops without overcomplicating things—and the animations have that satisfying weight to them, especially when you nail a dunk with Kobe. The graphics were solid for the time, with jerseys that actually moved and arenas that didn’t look totally flat.
It’s not as flashy as modern NBA games, but there’s something about the pacing that makes it fun. You can tell they were going for realism, but it still has that arcade-y feel where you can pull off ridiculous plays if you time it right. And yeah, playing as Kobe before he became an absolute legend is a weird little time capsule.
If you dust off your N64 and want a basketball game that holds up, this one’s worth a shot.
