Backyard Basketball"Looking for Insider Cheat Codes for Backyard Basketball? " 1) INTRODUCTION I bet you've probably heard of Backyard Sports and that it stars kids, so I guess I should introduce you to these kids. I'll alphabetize their names in a later FAQ. In the meantime, I'm typing them in the order they appear in the Cards section. Also, I don't really haver time or drive space to add their stats, but I'll do that later. The character descriptions are excerpts from their cards. I added their sex and race. Some of them are slightly edited. You've gotta love these kids!
More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.1 - KEVIN GARNETT Nickname: KG Birthday: 3/6 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: African-American Jersey #: 21 They don't make 'em any better than little KG. With an incredible workethic, love for the game, and big-time hops, he can dominate the game onoffense or defense. You want this kid on your team. More Backyard Basketball Tips: Mega S.A.M. adds: As you know, he's on the Minnesota Timberwolves.This game doesn't have an NBA license, but it's still good. Kevin'sabout the best in the neighborhood at inside shooting. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.2 - LISA LESLIE Nickname: ROLE MODEL Birthday: 7/7 Shoots: Left Sex: Girl Race: African-American More Backyard Basketball Tips: Jersey #: 9 Little Lisa Leslie is simply one of the best players here. She can hit theoutside jumper, is automatic from down low, and can control the game inthe paint. She's a player you build a team around. Mega S.A.M. adds: Again, though she's on the Los Angeles Sparks, theBBA puts her on the Hammers, as KG is on the Rim Rattlers. Same uniformcolors. Lisa L. is great at inside shooting, defense, and quickness. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.3 - ACHMED KHAN Nickname: AXEMAN Birthday: 7/11 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: Punjabi Muslim More Backyard Basketball Tips: When Achmed isn't playing the heavy rocking guitar, he's out on the courtlighting it up from downtown. If he ever learns how to play defense, hecould be a star in this league. Mega S.A.M. adds: The frontman of the Knights of Rockville has very good outside shooting and quickness. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.4 - AMIR KHAN Nickname: STICKS Birthday: 9/1 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: Punjabi Muslim The difference between heavy rocking Amir and heavy rockingbrother Achmed? Amir can play defense. With his phenomenal speed andcourt skills, Amir might be the top point guard in the league. More Backyard Basketball Tips: Mega S.A.M. adds: Amir is one of the top five players. His defenseand quickness are excellent, and he can handle the ball greatly.Sticks is a good outside shooter, too. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.5 - ANGELA DELVECCHIO Nickname: SUGAR POP Birthday: 12/20 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: White (Italian-American) Angela Delvecchio has something big brother Tony never had: an outsideshot! Unfortunately, while Angela can put up a lot of points in a hurry, sheusually gives up just as much on defense. More Backyard Basketball Tips: Mega S.A.M. adds: Are you thinking of putting Angela and Tony on thesame team? As Tony would say, "Fuhgettaboutit!" More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.6 - ANNIE FRAZIER Nickname: FLIPPER Birthday: 9/18 Shoots: Left Sex: Girl Race: White Annie Frazier may be a little too mellow to be an all-star, but don't let hercalm demeanor catch you off guard. While she won't win many footraces,she can post it up with the best of them. Mega S.A.M. adds: Originally, Annie was the animal-lover, but sinceBackyard Football, she's been a liberal new age thinker. She's alwayshad that rainbow on her shirt like Laverne from LAVERNE AND SHIRLEYhas an "L." More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.7 - ASHLEY WEBBER Nickname: LITTLE SMOKEY Birthday: 2/18 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: White Like her twin sister Sidney, Ashley is an all-around decentballplayer. If you put her on the same team as her sister, however, itusually means double trouble for the opposition. Mega S.A.M. adds: Correctamundo! Since Backyard Baseball 2001, therewere "good days" and "bad days" for the kids. Unlike Angela and Tony'scase, if the twins are on the same team, they're better than they areindividually. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.8 - SIDNEY WEBBER Nickname: LITTLE SMOKEY Birthday: 2/18 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: White Wait a minute! Is that Sidney or Ashley? Either way, they're both averageballplayers with a decent handle on the ball. When they're on the sameteam, though, they can really light it up. Mega S.A.M. adds: See Ashley's entry above. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.9 - BILLY JEAN BLACKWOOD Nickname: CRAZY LEGS Birthday: 1/29 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: White Billy Jean may not be the most coordinated player in the league, but shehas one attribute you can't teach: height. Her long arms have been knownto alter a lot of shots. Mega S.A.M. adds: Billy has the longest name of the kids (20 letters,spaces included) and she wants to be a model in Paris when she'solder. She's a great defender and an even better inside shooter. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.10 - DANTE ROBINSON Nickname: STRETCH Birthday: 3/9 Shoots: Left Sex: Boy Race: Jamaican-American (How else do you explain the steel-drum theme?) Dante Robinson is proof that you don't have to be tall to be agreat basketball player. One of the quickest players in sneakers, Dante is asgood as any point guard in the league. Mega S.A.M. adds: Dante is small, but he eats like a behemoth twicehis height. His ballhandling and quickness are excellent and he cannail great 3-pointers, but his shot in the paint is poor. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.11 - DMITRI PETROVICH Nickname: PASTE Birthday: 6/9 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: White (Russian-American) Thanks to many long hours studying ball trajectories, Dmitri hasbecome the league's top three-point shooter. His large girth makes him aforce in the paint as well. Mega S.A.M. adds: This carrot-top has a high IQ for his age, buteats paste. However, Mr. Petrovich can paste twos and threes likethey were oxidation numbers in atoms. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.12 - ERNIE STEELE Nickname: FUNNYBONES Birthday: 4/21 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: African-American If the rest of his body ever catches up with his long legs, watch out!One of the tallest and silliest players in the Backyard League, Ernie is a good player to have in the post. Mega S.A.M. adds: The "comedian" is a token basketball player becausehe's always wearing a basketball uniform, he has four-foot legs (5'0"in all is tall for a 7-year-old) and he's black. I thought he'd be verygood, but he's actually one of the worst players. He can't handle theball or put up a trey, but he's excellent as an "X" or an "O". More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.13 - GRETCHEN HASSELHOFF Nickname: JABBERJAW Birthday: 5/31 Shoots: Left Sex: Girl Race: White (German-American) What Gretchen lacks in basketball skill, she makes up for in energy andeffort. If all that hyperactivity could be harnessed, it could power alarge metropolitan city. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.14 - JOCINDA SMITH Nickname: MVP Birthday: 9/28 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: African-American Jocinda is simply one of the best all-around players in this league. She canplay any position and usually dominates the game at any of them. Mega S.A.M. adds: What do they mean, "usually?" ALWAYS DRAFT JO SMITH FIRSTIN BACKYARD BASKETBALL! SHE EXCELS AT THREES AND IS VERY GOOD AT EVERYTHINGELSE! SHE'S A GOOD PLAYER! GET HER BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.15 - JORGE GARCIA Nickname: BONKERS Birthday: 10/7 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: Hispanic He's not what you'd call a "natural athlete," but Jorge's arms canalter a lot of shots, and he has decent touch inside. Unfortunately, hisfear of getting dirty severely limits his game. Mega S.A.M. adds: Of course Jorge [pronounced hor-hey] doesn't want toget dirty. He always wears Armani playclothes. He's rich, for crying outloud. His defense, though, is as low as a bear market. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.16 - KENNY KAWAGUCHI Nickname: K-MAN Birthday: 11/20 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: Japanese K-Man doesn't get a lot of vertical, but when you can shoot the ball likehe does, who cares?! Not the best defender, but his deadly range fromdowntown can give your team some instant offense. Mega S.A.M. adds: This intellectual wheelchair-bound Oriental is anexcellent outside shooter. He's bad in the paint and on defense. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.17 - KIESHA PHILLIPS Nickname: FLASH Birthday: 4/2 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: Not Definite, but probably African-American Able to control the game on both offense and defense, Kiesha is the mostdominant post player in the league. She doesn't have much range, butwhen you own the paint like she does, who cares?! Mega S.A.M. adds: Flash has an inside shot with which to be reckoned,and on defense, Kiesha's a big, lethal weapon. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.18 - KIMMY ECKMAN Nickname: TWINKIE TOES Birthday: 6/22 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: White Kimmy is what you would call a pure point guard: a solid ballhandler with adecent stroke from the outside. Since Kimmy likes sweets, her quicknesscan come and go with each burst of sugar-induced power. Mega S.A.M. adds: The redheaded, freckled candy monster has great ballhandling ability. She's also very good at defense. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.19 - LISA CROCKET Nickname: MAD DOG Birthday: 12/4 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: White Lisa doesn't say much and usually doesn't do much on the floor, but thisshy, mild-mannered girl can go ballistic if pushed too far. They don't call her"Mad Dog" for nothing. Mega S.A.M. adds: She's a great inside shooter with great defense. She's a poorballhandler and a bad outside shooter. She's slow, too. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.20 - LUANNE LUI Nickname: LULU Birthday: 1/27 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: Chinese She may be the youngest player in the league, but her blazing speed andreliable ballhandling make her look like a veteran twice her age. Of course,that would still only make her eight years old. Mega S.A.M. adds: This girl is very fast, great at making threes,and ballhandling. That's not bad for a girl who carries her teddy beararound. However, in the key and on defense, she's a baby. More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.21 - IA LUNA Nickname: PINKY Birthday: 7/23 Shoots: Left Sex: Girl Race: Hispanic Don't let that pink dress fool you. With one of the best jump shots inthe league, this girl is a silent assassin from long range. Her short staturelimits her on defense, however. Mega S.A.M. adds: Yep. Pinky is a very good 3-point shooter, but poor at defense.She likes wearing pink uniforms, but she's always wearing a pink dress under them no matter what color they are. 2.22 - MARKY DUBOIS Nickname: COOTIE Birthday: 9/6 Shoots: Left Sex: Boy Race: White Marky learned the game of basketball by tossing pumpkins into the garbagecan out back. While he doesn't have the best looking jumper, he can still getthe job done in the paint. Mega S.A.M. adds: I reckon Marky is a durn good inside shooter. However, heshoots from outside like an old lady in a purty little dolly store and playsdefense like a three-legged dawg a million miles away from his bones. TRIVIA: Marky is named after a member of the Ramones, a punk rock group. In fact,according to the Backyard Baseball Baby Pictures on the inside scoop area ofhumongoussports.com, Cootie's last name was almost going to be Ramone.
2.23 - MIKEY THOMAS Nickname: NUGGET Birthday: 10/29 Shoots: Left Sex: Boy Race: Black Sure, Mikey picks his nose, but he can set picks with the best ofthem. He's the classic wide body in the post that every team needs, andhe's automatic near the hoop. Mega S.A.M. adds: The word "turtle" comes to mind when his speed is discussed,but he's a very good inside shooter. Mikey's nose is congested, but he cansometimes congest the other team. 2.24 - PABLO SANCHEZ Nickname: SECRET WEAPON Birthday: 8/18 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: White You can't call him "The Secret Weapon" anymore. With his blinding speed,deft ballhandling, and deadly outside shooting, Pablo has made a name forhimself. Just call him "The Weapon" now. Mega S.A.M. adds: Can Pablo handle the ball? Si. Can Pablo shoot fromoutside? Si. Can Pablo defend? Si. Is he fast? Si. I'm not supposed to tellyou, but Pablo is learning Spanish in school. It isn't his native tongue,but he speaks only Spanish around the other kids. I don't know why, though. 2.25 - PETE WHEELER Nickname: WHEELIE Birthday: 10/13 Shoots: Left Sex: Boy Race: White Pete's not going to win many spelling bees, but he'll help your team winmany games. He's prone to the "unforced turnover," but if you need abig body in the paint, Pete's your man. Mega S.A.M. adds: A quote from Pete in Backyard Baseball is below."I, uh.... my dad says I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can run really good."He said it well. He also says things like "One time it rained." 2.26 - REESE WORTHINGTON Nickname: BIG TOE Birthday: 5/25 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: White Reese isn't too hot on offense. He's not too hot on defense, either.With his decent ballhandling skills, however, Reese could make a decent point guard.As long as he doesn't swallow his retainer. Mega S.A.M. adds: Reese may have so many allergies and "asthmar," but he'squick. He also has nimble hands. 2.27 - RICKY JOHNSON Nickname: FELLA Birthday: 2/14 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: African-American Ricky is one of the nicest kids you'll ever meet, but that doesn'tmean he won't stuff your shot back in your face. A defensive stopper,Ricky is a force to be reckoned with in the post. Mega S.A.M. adds: Ricky is shy and quiet, but he loves the game.He's bad at 3's, though... More Backyard Basketball Tips: 2.28 - RONNY DOBBS Nickname: SPUD Birthday: 8/10 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: African-American Ronny is all about the "D." With his quick hands and nimble feet, thispint-sized ballhawk can put the clamps on anyone in the league. Anyoneexcept big sister Sally, that is. Mega S.A.M. adds: Don't even think about putting five-year-old Ronald Henry Dobbs on the same team as Sally. After all, Sally IS called "The Boss." 2.29 - SALLY DOBBS Nickname: THE BOSS Birthday: 11/11 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: African-American Sally "The Boss" Dobbs is a natural born leader. While she doesn't have a lotof basketball skills herself, her constant nagging will bring out the best inher teammates. Usually. Mega S.A.M. adds: The team mom is a good inside shooter and a poor defensive player. 2.30 - STEPHANIE MORGAN Nickname: BUBBLES Birthday: 8/15 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: African-American While baseball is Stephanie's true love, basketball is a close runner-up. Ifshe could devote herself fulltime to the hardwoods, she could easily be thebest player in the league. Mega S.A.M. adds: Stephanie is a very good outside shooting, graceful ballhandling blur. She's not too shabby at defense or inside shooting, either. Can she bring her baseball mitt? 2.31 - TONY DELVECCHIO Nickname: VEC (He likes to be called SLICK, but the nickname don't change.) Birthday: 7/16 Shoots: Right Sex: Boy Race: White (Italian-American) If Tony was half the player he thought he was, he'd be all-world.Unfortunately, the only category he leads the league in is trash talking.He needs to work on his "D" if he wants to be a star. Mega S.A.M. adds: Tony exhibits the style of his namesake, Tony Schiavone,without the need to bleep. If he's playing against Angela, then badabing badaboom! Both of those kids play better than normal. 2.32 - VICKI KAWAGUCHI Nickname: SWAN Birthday: 11/5 Shoots: Right Sex: Girl Race: Japanese-American With explosive quickness and a killer outside shot, Vicki may be thegreatest ballerina to ever play basketball. In fact, she might be the ONLYballerina to ever play basketball! Mega S.A.M. adds: That's a well-put description. OK, There's a kid that can be unlocked by creating a player, typing the nameBARRY DEJAY, and clicking "DONE" twice. Pick him for your team and he'll playfor it. 2.33 - BARRY DEJAY Birthday: 10/5 Shoots: Left Sex: Male Race: African-American Jersey #: 00 Barry studies the nuances of basketball from the sidelines of theneighborhood court since taller kids always overlook him for pickup games.Little do they know that Barry has more game than an arcade. Give him theball and he'll truly "bury the J." 3) DRAFT PRIORITY LIST Based on skills of players and "balance factors" (taking the player's best skill and worst skill and subtracting their range from 10)DOES NOT INCLUDE BARRY DEJAY 01.
