Here's a quote from the designer.
>We had already finished making NBA Jam when Drazen Petrovic died. The game had already shipped and he was on the Nets. So we had all of these coin-op machines around, and one night we were playing Mortal Kombat and there was a Jam machine next to it, and all of a sudden the game started calling out “Petrovic!” “Petrovic!” And this only happened after Petrovic had died. Everyone started freaking out. Something weird was going on with the software, and to this day, if you have an original NBA Jam machine every once in a while it will just yell out “Petrovic!” It’s wild.

This. It's not that big of a deal though, since it only affects the sound clips.

picking up this rock increases game difficulty
it was avoided like the plague and caused many 2 player runs to end up in shouting contest after someone picks it up.

I was going to say something barely funny like "DELIVERS THE FACIAL" but I had no idea this was an actual thing, holy kek I would never touch NBA Jam again if that happened to me, especially if I was the person who programmed the damn thing.

This is the cursed "game" that actually has the ability to fuck your life up for good. But it's not a legend nor a myth.

And the main Damsel in distress, and Mistress Helga and the bikini girls you rescue.
pretty much every woman in the game was Kerri.
aaah, I wish the digitization era had run for an extra 5 years instead of embracing 3D so quickly.
