The process of choosing a squad begins the moment you launch Basketball Legends. Pick from a wide variety of squads, including the Dream Team—which includes legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James—or create your own.
Throughout the game, you'll be able to direct your player's on-screen arrow. With a tap of the screen, you can dribble the ball or shoot it towards the basket. If you want to know how powerful your shot is, you'll have to swipe your finger across the screen.
Properly dribbling the ball or shooting the ball causes you to collect experience points, which are used to level up your player. Being able to level up your players over time is a great way to increase the game's depth.
You can purchase new players, teams, and other stuff with the game's "Gems" system. These jewels can be acquired through in-game achievements or bought with real money.
