Yep. I like basketball. This manga influenced alot on that as well. It has dynamic characters, story line, and also some interesting characters. I can't stress how cool Kaede Rukawa is, but let's not stray off too much on that. (Ahem.) -_-;; The drawing becomes pretty impressive as the volumes progress. Some illustrations of basketball play scenes, however, are direct copy from the Sports Illustrated.... and that bothered me for a while. Now I don't really care about it, because I understand how hard it is to get all those dynamic poses while playing basketball.
This manga branched out to some other genres of media, such as anime (of course), video games, and TV commercials. I'm glad they didn't do some wacky musical like Sailor Moon ... I mean, the game was OK. I played SNES and Sega Saturn versions, and ... it was mediocre but OK. The anime version was really horrible. It is almost as equally bad as Dragonball Z series. All those filler episodes ... urgh. This manga should have just stick to its true medium: manga.
If you can get this manga by any chance, I highly recommend it. It has good plot (sometimes a bit forced, but it is still fun enough for us to forgive), and good character development. Drawing is also good too, especially when Takehiko Inoue san reaches his peak (from later volume 20's to end of the series). It is rather sad to see an artist being stopped by his own type cast, and Takehiko Inoue san was like that for a while -i.e. Buzzer Beater. Now he has found his own color -i.e. Vagabond, and I am happy for him.
