In Basketball Stars, your primary goal is to outscore your opponent by making successful baskets while keeping them from doing the same. Select your favorite game mode and familiarize yourself with the various actions before starting a match.

Focus on maintaining possession of the ball, managing your character, and spotting a good shooting chance throughout a competitive match. When you have a clear opportunity to score, you can go across the court, dribble past your opponent, and release the ball. Attacking is only one aspect of the problem, though. Additionally, anytime your opponent makes a mistake, you must remain vigilant, block shots, and take possession.
