The game imagines a sci-fi 2030 where human basketball players have been replaced by robots—except for Bill Laimbeer. Teams battle in intense league competitions where players are frequently traded and acquired. In this futuristic setting, a specialized robot handles the jump ball at the start of each game, a task once done by referees who were dismissed by Bill Laimbeer before 2030. Because of this, players now wear protective armor, and weapons are hurled from the stands during matches.
