Until 2004 it was Live, now it's clearly 2k.

2k overall

NBA live 05 is still best live dropped
Live 04 was good too

But right now 2k got the juice

Live was only better than 2K in 05' and 06'

Live didn't even have the real NBA arenas until 05'

2K had the real arenas from the jump.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Is this a serious question?

In order of greatness

NBA 2k
NBA street
NBA live
NBA jam
NBA (sony's in house team)
NBA ballers
Kobe Bryants basketball series

NBA in the zone

Live is the better series. Why? Because live been around since Sega genesis. It was never not the top basketball game til the year 2000.

2k has held the top spot since, but overall 2k was a result of live. 2k hasn't done much to move the game further. It's actually moving backwards. Basically I'm saying live has more banners as a series overall. 2k is the best at the moment tho...

Let's be honest ever NBA 2K2, the 2K series has been the better basketball game.
