NBA Live 2000 is the 2000 installment of the NBA Live video game series. The cover features Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs. The game was developed by EA Sports and released in 1999. Don Poier is the play-by-play announcer with Reggie Theus on color commentary. The game features Michael Jordan in his first official appearance in the series. The PC version of the game introduced EA's "Face in the Game" feature, allowing players to use custom facial photographs on created players. It was the second and final NBA Live game released for Nintendo 64. NBA Live 2000 is followed by NBA Live 2001. A canceled Game Boy Color version was in development by Handheld Games for THQ, but it was scrapped during testing.

What the critics said
Martin Kitts of N64 Magazine gave the N64 version 65%, saying, "Dedicated Michael Jordan fans will lap it up but NBA Live 2000 isn't the basketball game for the rest of us."
— N64 Magazine, 2000 (Martin Kitts)
Brett Alan Weiss of AllGame gave the PlayStation version four-and-a-half stars out of five, calling it "the most complete and most fun basketball game to ever grace the PlayStation."
— AllGame (Brett Alan Weiss) · about another version
William Abner of Computer Games Strategy Plus gave the same PC version four stars out of five, saying, "NBA Live 2000 is a fun basketball game even with the quirks. If you are a fan of the NBA Live series then Live 2000 is a must buy."
