Basketball Stars brings one-on-one and two-on-two basketball to a shared screen. Choose solo play for practice or select two players to face a friend on the same keyboard.
Playing with a friend
Select the two-player option for local play. Both players use the same keyboard; this option does not create an invitation link for a friend on another device.
Learn before competing
Training is a place to practise movement and shooting before a match. Learn the difference between defending and attempting a steal, then try a short match before starting a tournament.
