Popular GTA streamer Caylus can be seen playing basketball in GTA 5 in one of his recently uploaded videos. As expected, this is only possible through a mod as the base game doesn't have this particular sport as an activity.
In the video, Caylus can be seen playing basketball across various courts in Los Santos, both solo and against NPC players.
Popular streamer turns GTA 5 into a basketball game
The GTA series is well-known to include various side activities that may sometimes feature recreational sports. For example, players could play golf while dressing up in proper golf attire in GTA Vice City. They could also use the golf club as a weapon and drive around a caddy inside the golf course and outside in the city.
On the other hand, GTA San Andreas allowed players to test their dunking skills on basketball courts around Los Santos. Unfortunately, this feature did not return to the HD recreation of Los Santos in GTA 5.
However, with such a large modding community, players can expect solutions to the most common issues resolved via mods.
The Basketball Mod for GTA 5
The lack of a basketball feature was seen as an issue by GTA modder SilkTeam, and they released the "Basketball Mod [NBA 2K21]" as a solution. This script mod enables players to play basketball in GTA 5 with animations inspired by NBA 2K21.
The naming is quite appropriate as the NBA franchise, like the GTA games, is also owned by Take-Two.
This mod has been showcased by other streamers before and is a fairly popular one. Players and NPCs get the ability to shoot the ball, make jump shots or dunks, defend against the opponent, and dribble.
Locations of the basketball courts
By default, there are 6 basketball courts. These are located in:
- Vespucci Beach South
- Vespucci Beach West
- Chamberlain Hills East
- Chamberlain Hills West
- Little Seoul North
- Little Seoul South
Besides these, players can also make their custom basketball court. For example, Caylus can be seen playing basketball on a vent ramp with a single hoop in its flat. He attempts to make a shot while on one of the ramp tables and successfully does so.
What makes this mod hilarious is because of overlapping controls. While it may have been intentional, pressing the appropriate button to shoot the ball also results in the player hitting any NPC that gets close. As a result, a game can be completed simply by beating up all the opponents.
