===''NBA 06''===
''NBA '06: Featuring the Life Vol. 1'' is a [[basketball]] [[video game]] which was released on October 4, 2005 for the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] and November 1, 2005 on [[PlayStation 2]]. It is the first installment of the '''NBA: Featuring the Life''' series by Sony Computer Entertainment. The product features [[Phoenix Suns]] power forward/center [[Amar'e Stoudemire]] on the cover.

''[[NBA 06]]'': ''Featuring the Life Vol. 1'' was released on October 4, 2005, for the PSP and November 1, 2005, on [[PlayStation 2]]. The product features [[Phoenix Suns]] [[power forward (basketball)|power forward]]/[[center (basketball)|center]] [[Amar'e Stoudemire]] on the cover. You may also compete in a new feature the PlayStation's Skills challenge. Not in any other NBA games.


Amar'e Stoudemire and [[P.J. Carlesimo]] appeared in commercials featuring three fictitious NBA players.
This mode is a unique feature to the game and you take role as an NBA rookie. First, you must create your player and then go to pre-draft training camp of your favorite team (you get to choose). After that you go to the draft and get picked by that team. Next is summer leagues and then eventually pro games. During those games you have to complete goals like scoring a certain number of points or holding their star to no steals. If you fail at least one of the goals you have to start the event all over again. So if your player scores 100 points but fails to block someone( if to block someone is a goal) you will be forced to start the challenge over.


===''NBA 07''===
Amar'e Stoudemire and [[P.J. Carlesimo]] appeared in commercials featuring three fictitious failed NBA players:
''[[NBA 07]]'' was released in 2006. The product features [[Los Angeles Lakers]] guard [[Kobe Bryant]] on the cover, with his newly chosen jersey number of 24. It is the second installment of the '''''NBA: Featuring the Life''''' series by Sony Computer Entertainment, and is a launch game for the [[PlayStation 3]] format.


===''NBA 08''===
*Billy Joe Cuthbert - A physical defender and hard worker whose fouls and injuries shortened his NBA career. He plays pick-up games while wearing 1980s-era clothing, coaches kids, and hopes to play professionally again.
''[[NBA 08]]'' was developed by San Diego Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2007. For the second time in the series, Phoenix Suns F/C Amar'e Stoudemire is featured on the cover—Stoudemire appeared on the cover of ''NBA '06'': featuring the Life Vol. 1 two years before. Unlike most NBA games, this one had a story.
*Jason "Sweet Money" McDaniels - Liked to shoot, just couldn't. After his NBA career fizzled, he worked in an office.
*Sergei Vogavich - A Russian player whose attempt to transition into the NBA was a dismal failure. He was described as being big...and that's about it. After basketball, he moved back to Russia to work at his uncle's farm.
