Bulls Vs Pistons
Since Mark Turmell is a Detroit Pistons fan, he sweetened the arcade code to give them a slight advantage over their regional rivals, the Chicago Bulls. Turmell said in an interview, "If it boiled down to a last-second shot, forget about it -- the Bulls would never score."
Trivia
NBA Jam was the first licensed sports coin-op video game ever. Originally, the NBA was not keen on the idea, as they did not want the wholesome NBA logo to be seen in "seedy" coin-op locations like bars or strip joints. However, once the Midway team showed them some preliminary footage of the game, they were thrilled and gave it a green light. The success of "Jam" paved the way for future officially-licensed sports arcade games.
