About Basketball Legends 2020

Basketball Legends 2020 is a fast, arcade take on street basketball built by Madpuffers, the studio behind Moto X3M and Basketball Stars. Big-headed caricatures of real NBA stars run the court, and a match plays out as quick drives, blocks, and highlight dunks rather than a slow half-court set.

Games run 1v1 or 2v2, and the physics reward timing over positioning — a well-placed dash past a defender or a chained dunk combo matters more than realistic footwork. A solo tournament mode lets one player work through a ladder of bots, while two people on the same keyboard can play a full match head-to-head or team up in co-op, so it works as a couch pass-and-play game as much as a solo round.

Controls

Player One: WASD to move, B to shoot or perform the current action, S to pump-fake or block, V for a super shot, double-tap D to dash.

Player Two: Arrow keys to move, L to shoot or perform the current action, Down arrow to pump-fake or block, K for a super shot, double-tap Left arrow to dash.

Tips

  • Dashes only trigger on a double-tap, not a held key — tap twice quickly in the direction you want to blow past a defender.
  • Pump-fake before driving to the rim; it baits an early block attempt and opens a clean lane.
  • Save the super shot for a possession where a miss won't cost you the game — it takes a moment to wind up and leaves you exposed if it's blocked.
  • In 2v2, look for whichever teammate gets left open under the rim after a fake draws the defense.

It suits short sessions and split-screen matches with a friend on one keyboard more than a long single-player grind.

Basketball Legends 2020 FAQ

Can I play with a friend on the same keyboard?
Yes. Player one uses WASD, B, S and V; player two uses the arrow keys, L, Down and K, both on the same keyboard for local head-to-head or co-op play.
How do the dash and super shot work?
Double-tapping your movement key in a direction triggers a dash past defenders. Holding the shoot/action key (V for player one, K for player two) charges a super shot.
Is there a single-player mode?
Yes, there's a tournament mode you can play solo against the built-in bots.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
The game supports desktop, phone and tablet, though the keyboard controls above only apply when playing on a desktop browser.
