How to play Basketball Stars

Basketball Stars is a fast, competitive basketball game where you face an opponent in one-on-one matches. Your goal is to outscore your rival by shooting, stealing, and blocking effectively. Use the on-screen controls or keyboard to move, jump, and perform actions like shooting or defending. Time your shots carefully — releasing the ball at the peak of your jump increases accuracy. On defense, watch your opponent’s movements and swipe or press the steal button to take possession, but avoid spamming or you’ll get penalized. Power-ups and special moves appear in some modes, giving temporary boosts. Practice dribbling, quick direction changes, and shot timing to outsmart your opponent. With each match, you’ll improve your rhythm, strategy, and consistency.
