Play NBA In the Zone 2000 Online

Summary

NBA In The Zone 2000, often just called "The Zone," lands on the Game Boy Color with a cover that proudly showcases Marcus Camby of the Knicks. The marketing copy teases that Camby himself discovered the game during last year’s playoffs, and now players get to "open it up" and shoot the lights out.

What really catches the eye are the fresh dunking animations and a revamped free‑throw system that tries hard not to let you brick the shot. New camera angles give a clearer view of the action, while the overall animation feels smoother than you’d expect from a handheld of its era.

Beyond the flash, the title packs the full 1999‑2000 NBA roster—29 teams and over 300 real players rendered with motion‑capture tech. Red Clay’s play‑by‑play commentary runs through classic modes like Exhibition, Season, Playoffs, plus a Slam Dunk Contest and a Three‑Point Shootout, making it a surprisingly deep basketball experience for a portable console.
