Reception

Dennis Lynch from Chicago Tribune stated "Consequently, though it looks great, it soon becomes a bore. This is one basketball program that should be bounced.[2]

German magazine Power Play stated "Basketball freaks should strike – those who want to become one should take a look – the extensive manual helps just fine. However, this program is not suitable for action athletes"[6]
