The game was released on June 6, 2006, in conjunction with the AND1 Mixtape Tour. A scaled-down, mobile version of the game, developed by Gameloft, was also released.

The game features a story mode mirroring the "Streetball" series on ESPN, where players are able to create their own basketball player and enter him in the AND 1 Mix Tape Tour in order to get a contract with the AND 1 team. Along the way, players are able to create their own stylized trick moves and pull them off with a two-analog stick system called "I BALL."
