NBA Pinball By Stern of 2009 at www.pinballrebel.com


Although the game has new code and artwork the playfield layout is borrowed from an earlier design.  This was most likely done to speed development time
and to reduce costs in the slower economic times in which the game was released.  Still sports like basketball are a great theme and will draw both
the casual player in the tavern or bar and the home gameroom owner.  Several current stars of the NBA are featured on the glass artwork.



Pinball Glass has many different players from various NBA teams.

Here in the upper right of the playfield you can see three jet bumpers, a set of MVP drop targets, and a basketball goal with a magnet that
will catch the ball and drop it into the basket to score shots.

A metal ramp leads to the basketball goal shot.  Note the ramp has circular cutouts on it to allow light to diffuse through.

The pop bumpers have artwork to make them look like a basketball going through a basket.  These bumper caps would be a neat modification
to order for other basketball themed pinball games.
