NBA 2K3 is a 2002 sports video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by Sega for GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

It was the first of three consecutive NBA 2K games to be produced with licensing from ESPN (however, the ESPN logo appear on the front cover until the series' next installment). The ESPN licensing coincided with its, and sister network ABC's, takeover of the national broadcast TV rights from NBC that occurred at the start of the 2002–03 season. And it was also the last NBA 2K game to be released on a Nintendo platform until NBA 2K10.
