My friend remembers an NES basketball game where you can be a guy in a wheelchair. Not everyone is in wheelchairs, just one guy. I did some google searching and can't really come up with anything. Does anyone know what game he is talking about?

Not sure on an NES game that has this feature, but Backyard Basketball is a kid's PC game where one of the players is in a wheelchair. The game then later came out on a few different gaming systems but never the NES (game came out on the PC in 2001).

Well my friend admitted that it might not have actually been on the NES. And since nobody seems to know a game like that on the NES, I'm leaning towards it not being on it. I will ask him about Backyard Basketball. Thanks.

That's what came to my mind as well. The Backyard series of games had a kid named Kenny Kawaguchi who played Baseball and Basketball and whatnot in a wheelchair.
He was actually a pretty good player too, always found his way onto my team.

The game came out on the
PC
GBA
PS2
DS
Gamecube (as Backyard Sports)
So maybe he played it on one of those systems :)
I played it on the PC and Kenny was always on my team along with Pablo and the chick with the long black hair. But Pablo and Kenny were always some of the best players to choose.
