Everything a GM does
Run the whole club
Build your roster
Every player is a card: Overall, six skill groups, potential tier and salary at a glance. Pick your starting five, choose from 8 offensive and 8 defensive systems, and keep a rotation together long enough to build real chemistry.
Develop your players
Around 50 ratings per player, from Close Shot to Weak Hand. Train every morning, give young talent minutes and hire the staff that multiplies growth — then watch a raw prospect turn into a star.
Watch every game live
One game a day, simulated possession by possession and played back as a 12-minute broadcast with play-by-play, game leaders and a full box score. Make the playoffs, reach the final and climb ten divisions to the top flight.
Win the transfer market
A live auction house shared by every manager. Bid on the players you want and sell the ones you don't: funds sit in escrow and late bids extend the clock, so nothing gets sniped.
Scout the draft
Every season brings a fresh class of 18- and 19-year-old prospects. Rank your shortlist, and after the playoffs every club makes two picks, worst record first. Find the next superstar before anyone else does.

Frequently asked
Is Swish & Dunk really free?
Yes. There is no premium plan, no season pass and nothing to buy: every feature on this page is available to every manager from day one.
How does a season work?
Clubs play in groups of 16, split into East and West conferences, with a 22-game regular season and one game a day. The top four in each conference make the playoffs: quarterfinals, semifinals and a best-of-three final. The two finalists move up a division, the bottom two move down, and the draft closes the season.
Do I have to be online when my game is played?
No. Your lineup and tactics are set in advance and the game is played at its scheduled tip-off whether you are watching or not. When you come back, the replay, the play-by-play and the box score are waiting for you.
How are games simulated?
Every game is simulated possession by possession: who brings the ball up, which play is run, who takes the shot and whether it goes in depend on around 50 player ratings, fatigue, fouls, tactics, clutch time and momentum. See exactly how the match engine works.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Swish & Dunk runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, so there is nothing to download — and you can add it to your home screen to open it like an app.
How do I get better players?
Three ways: develop your own with daily training and the right staff, scout the draft for 18- and 19-year-old prospects, and bid on players in the live transfer market shared by every manager.
Is it like other online basketball managers?
If you have played online managers like Hattrick or BuzzerBeater, you will feel at home: you run one club against real managers in a persistent league. Swish & Dunk adds a possession-by-possession replay of every game, a live auction-house transfer market and a draft every season, all free.
Which languages is the game available in?
21: English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), French, German, Italian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Indonesian, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, Dutch, Greek, Serbian and Croatian. You can switch language at any time in Settings.
