called for goaltending on an
opponent's shot will not keep
you from heating-up since

favorite player, and that the
type of the dunk executed may
depend entirely on where the

duck is initiated.
SUPERDUNKs
A shift of a single pixel may
mean the difference between
two completely different
dunks, particularly in the case
of the four jam specialists
mentioned above. You must be
moving to dunk.
There are over 50 different
dunks in NBA Jam. The dunks
are divided into ten "sets" each
consisting of 1 to 10 different
jams. Each player has be-
tween 1 and 10 sets of dunks
available to him.

tributes screen: The higher
the number, the more sets of
dunks that the player can per-
form.
John Stockton, for example,
has only one set of dunks avail-
able, and that particular set
consists of just one dunk.
On the other hand, there are
four players who have all ten
sets of dunks available: Domi-
nique Wilkins, Scottie Pippin,
Spud Webb and Shaquille
O'N eal. These are the only
players in NBA Jam who can
perform all of the 50-plus
dunks in the game.
