Sakuragi Hanamichi is a junior high punk used to getting into fights and being rejected by girls but upon entering high school he meets the girl of his dreams, Haruko Akagi. He will do anything in order to win her heart including joining the school basketball team that is aiming to conquer the nation lead by Haruko's brother. The problem is that Sakuragi has never played basketball before and a freshman sensation is stealing the spotlight and Haruko's affection from him.
A sports anime classic about basketball. It is a story about Sakuragi Hanamichi who tries to impress Haruko by playing basketball. Despite having bitter rivalries with Rukawa and putting up with "Gori", Hanamichi ends up falling in love with the sport itself. He proves to be a talented basketball player enough to earn the title "Rebound King".
The story telling is not long and dragging. It has funny jokes to keep the audience laughing and enough drama to keep the audience anticipated for the outcomes of each basketball match. The story is well thought out and each character has their specialty.
Slam Dunk is what got me to like basketball and end up buying Hanamichi's sneakers. I hope it does the same for you.
