ICE NBA Game Time Pro with NBA Team of Choice

A powder-coated steel chain net. A real wood floor. Five game modes on a single backboard.

Overview

The ICE NBA Game Time Pro is a full-size home arcade basketball game built with the same materials as the commercial arcade version — real wood flooring, 14-gauge cold-rolled steel side cage, and an ultradurable powder-coated steel chain net. It carries an official NBA license, allowing buyers to configure the cabinet with any of the 30 current NBA team graphics packages. Five distinct game modes support solo play through four-player competition, and the adjustable-height arch accommodates standard 8-foot ceilings.

Key Features

Official NBA Licensing — All 30 Teams Available

The NBA Game Time Pro is produced under an official NBA license, which means the team graphics — logos, colors, wordmarks — are the actual league-authorized artwork. Buyers select one of the 30 current NBA franchises (Atlanta Hawks through Washington Wizards) or the default NBA logo at configuration. An optional team-branded floor mat, also available in all 30 team graphics, extends the court aesthetic to the playing surface beneath the machine.

Arcade-Grade Steel and Wood Construction

The side cage is fabricated from powder-coated 14-gauge cold-rolled steel — the same gauge and finish specification used on the commercial arcade version of this game. The playing surface is real wood flooring, not a printed laminate. The ball return net is an ultradurable powder-coated steel chain net rather than a fabric or nylon mesh, which eliminates sagging and resists wear at the catch point over repeated heavy use.

Five Game Modes

The cabinet ships with five playable modes built in: Pro — race the clock, score 75 to unlock round two, score 100 to reach the final round; Money Ball — timed scoring with bonus-point money sign targets ($ = 5 pts, $$ = 10 pts); Pig — turn-based elimination where each miss earns a letter (P-I-G), last player standing wins; Last Shot — timer counts down from three seconds per shot, four shots per player, lowest total wins; Time It — players time their release to match a moving line over a colored target zone, with each zone worth a different point value.

Removable Top Arch for 8-Foot Ceilings

The top arch detaches, reducing the installed height to fit inside a standard 96-inch (8-foot) ceiling clearance. The full assembled height with arch installed reaches 101 inches. An extended 9.5-foot podium configuration is available for rooms with higher ceilings, adding an additional challenge level to the playing distance.

LED Backboard Lighting and Jumbotron Scoreboard

The backboard is fitted with LED lighting that illuminates during play. The cabinet also includes a jumbotron-style display with arcade sound effects — including slam dunk audio cues — that activate during gameplay.

Handbuilt in the USA, Ships Mostly Assembled

Every NBA Game Time Pro is hand-built by ICE's woodcrafting team outside Buffalo, NY, a manufacturing operation the company has run since 1982. Each unit ships in a nearly assembled state with a parts pack that includes a manual and all tools required for final setup. Two people can complete installation in under two hours. White-glove delivery and installation is available as an upgrade option.

How It Plays

Players select one of the five modes, then shoot the included 7-inch basketballs at the hoop within whatever constraint the mode sets — timed scoring in Pro and Money Ball, turn-based elimination in Pig, a precision-timing release window in Time It. The jumbotron display and slam-dunk sound effects update in real time as baskets land, producing visible and audible feedback that reads clearly from anywhere in the room. Up to four players can compete across the multi-player modes without any additional hardware or configuration.

Specifications

Why Buyers Love It

Two-Person Assembly, Under Two Hours

The game ships in a mostly assembled state with every required tool and a printed manual included in the parts pack. ICE's own documentation cites two people and under two hours for full setup. White-glove delivery and in-home installation is available as an upgrade for buyers who prefer it.

Ceiling Clearance Flexibility

The removable top arch brings the installed height down to fit an 87-inch minimum clearance — inside a standard 8-foot ceiling. For rooms with higher clearance, the 9.5-foot extended podium configuration is available, increasing the playing distance and backboard height.

All-Inclusive Parts Pack

Every unit ships with six basketballs, the assembly manual, and every tool needed for installation — nothing extra to source or purchase before the game is playable. Buyers also have the option to select 9-inch balls at configuration rather than the standard 7-inch size.

One-Year Manufacturer Warranty with Direct Support

The game is covered by a one-year manufacturer's warranty. ICE operates dedicated phone lines for order and shipping questions as well as a separate line for parts and technical support, both staffed directly by the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ceiling height does the NBA Game Time Pro require?

With the top arch in place, the NBA Game Time Pro stands 101 inches tall. The arch is removable, which reduces the height to a minimum of 87 inches — fitting inside a standard 96-inch (8-foot) ceiling. Rooms with higher clearance can opt for the extended 9.5-foot podium configuration.

How long does it take to assemble the NBA Game Time Pro?

ICE ships the game mostly assembled. Final setup is designed for two people and takes under two hours. The parts pack included with every unit contains the assembly manual and all tools required — no separate purchases needed. White-glove delivery and installation is available as an upgrade option at the time of purchase.

What NBA team graphics are available?

All 30 current NBA franchises are available as a licensed graphics package — from the Atlanta Hawks to the Washington Wizards — as well as the default NBA logo configuration. An optional team-branded floor mat is also available in matching team graphics for all 30 franchises.

What outlet does the NBA Game Time Pro require?

The game runs on a standard 110-volt, 3-prong household outlet. No dedicated circuit or special wiring is required.

Ideal Placement

The NBA Game Time Pro is built for dedicated home game rooms, basement rec rooms, and fan caves where the 99-inch width and 101-inch height fit comfortably in the floor plan. The removable arch opens up installations in rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings that would otherwise exclude a full-size arcade basketball cabinet. The unit is also well-suited to sports bars, restaurant game areas, and hotel game rooms where an official NBA-licensed cabinet anchors a sports-themed space.
