Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Basketball Stars™ at 352K against Dunk Hoop's 36K. Basketball Stars™ also leads on chart position (#50 vs unranked). Dunk Hoop's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Basketball Stars™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dunk Hoop sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Basketball Stars™ against 4.7 for Dunk Hoop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basketball Stars™ has 352K ratings behind it against 36K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Basketball Stars™'s written reviews are positive against 69% of Dunk Hoop's.
