With the nunchuk and Wii Remote setup, it's easy to pass, set up an alley-oop, poke out on the ball on defense, or perform some nice ankle-breaking moves to weave through the defense. Surprisingly, shooting and shot blocking is equally responsive, despite the usual association with the fact that motion controls aren't ideal for precise actions. With a little flip of the Wii Remote, you can send your player into the air to stuff it back in your opponent's face or drive down the lane and go for an insane dunk. Admittedly, it takes a few minutes to get a decent feel for timing and when you should perform the move with the remote, but we became pretty comfortable with it quickly. Still, if motion-controlled shooting isn't your thing, NBA Jam does feature support for the Classic Controller for those who want more of the old-school feel.
