NBA Jam 2001 continued the legacy of the NBA Jam series on Game Boy Color, offering the same arcade-style basketball action. The US release likely featured updated rosters and perhaps some gameplay refinements compared to earlier iterations.  The game prioritized fast-paced, fun gameplay over realism, aiming to provide a quick and enjoyable basketball experience on the handheld platform.  Developed under license from the NBA by a third-party developer, it aimed to replicate the success of the arcade and console versions within the limitations of the GBC.
