Street Hoop, (known as Dunk Dream in Japan and Street Slam in North America) is a basketball game developed by Data East for Neo Geo, released in 1994 and later on the Wii Virtual Console. In the European (Street Hoop) and Japanese (Dunk Dream) versions of the game, players can select to compete from 1 of 10 countries. However, in the US version of the game (Street Slam), players instead get to choose from US cities. The selection screens, player skin colours and costumes also change between the versions.

Every team has a total of 18 points in several characteristics (Dunk, Three Pointers, Speed and Defense) and eight points maximum for each. Each team also has its own strengths and weaknesses with a roster of three players for each team.

A sequel to the game, known as Dunk Dream 95 in Japan and Hoops 96 in Europe, was released in 1995.
