There are no more active players from the original NBA Jam video game.

Everybody take a knee for a moment of silence.

He wasn't in the original.


It predated him. It was something like Derek Harper or Jim Jackson or Jamal Mashburn.

To be fair, the game only had like 4 players per team (27 teams too).

With Jason Kidd officially retiring from the NBA today and Grant Hill retiring last week it marks the end of an era: They were the last playable NBA players in NBA Jam Tournament Edition. Both Kidd and Hill were a member of the 1993-1994 NBA Jam "Rookie" team and had long and fruitful careers, which climaxed with an NBA championship for Kidd with the Mavericks in 2011 and multiple injuries for Grant Hill.

Other notable players from that "Rookie" team consisted of NBA scrubs Eric Montross, Donyell Marshall, Yinka Dare and Tony Dumas - who famously was entered in the NBA dunk contest after completing only one dunk in a season and then ultimately failed on every attempt in the actual contest.


The orginal "NBA Jam" was a retweet by a Grantland writer. Just looked this up, trying to remember what the hell Tournament Edition was.

Pretty much the same thing as what's his name from Utah.

Not as sad as when the last Tecmo player retired from the NFL.

The real implication is that John Stockton's career assist record is gonna be safe for a long time.

John Stockton can also lay claim to being The Original Flop Artist.
