i had nba live from 98 for the N64 (old i know), but believe it or not, it was a pretty cool game, with hakeem on there and all the different stuff.... the next live i started playing when i got my ps2 was live 06 with dwade on the cover...that sucked balls, but then i was introduced to the 2k series, and have never looked back...
"YOU WIN, YOU WIN, YOU WIN YOUNG FELLA!!! SUPAAAMANNNNN!!! DUN DUN DAAAA, DA DADA DADAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Are we talking aout next Gen because 2K8 on PS3/Xbox360 to me is one of the best games ever made (not just sports).
