From Japan to the NBA: Inside Rui Hachimura's journey 

this is marketing and this is one of the reason why they chose wizard to play with gsw

@@kingmeruem1 the wizards would’ve played in Japan anyways since they played there before but they had to find a team that also had a relatively good following in Japan also and what better person than Steph Curry who regularly makes tours there for brand and adidas and the reigning champs😂

the quality of this video is insane. I love the way they told his story through his childhood neighbors

Facts

Took them long enough.

Same here👍

@@lexbeltran1354 both got your wishes, last two games he’s averaged 21pts, on very very efficient shooting😳oh an a dub in last game vs Knicks

Right

🎉🎉🎉

He’s balling right now in the playoffs!

fr

im too

he is mad good

Would he be the first Japanese player in win an NBA championship if the Lakers win this year?

@@SimonNickels yes

Rui has game. Don't sleep on him. Remember, he was drafted with the 9th pick.

He is Akagi from Slamdunk!

Anime companies should try the next slamdunk/Kuroko, it's the Best time

I mean why would you need to be told that in America? Sorry if I’m being insensitive but the person told him that in Japan because he thought otherwise due to being ‘estranged’ for his color. Being mixed in America is damn near celebrated so people aren’t necessarily going to feel the need to validate that for you even more

@@tcggggg Because I don't have any friends.

Americans taunt Asians to eat lunch with other Asians at school. Americans threaten to keep Asians off the basketball court. When Asians walk down the street in the US, they are thrown a cup of juice by white or black. In Japan, such terrible discrimination does not occur. Why do Americans hide the fact that their country is the most racist country in the world? Count the incidents of racist violence against Asians that occurred this year.

I hope you are inspired to be proud! You'll find friends just don't be shy, try new things, and venture to new places.

Hey, I tell that to my kids all the time and I hope they understand.

It actually does damn

lol was looking for this comment, he's definitely the real life Akagi Takenori, but with the skill of Kaede Rukawa!

What about Ohtani?

@@barrytrotterisweirdgood

@@barrytrotterisweird meh

I think one of the kids towards the end was wearing a Gonzaga T-shirt.

Rui tweeted that this is chapter 1 in a docuseries so maybe they will cover that. I hope they do!

Mark Few is a great coach. Gonzaga seems almost too small for his potential, but he keeps being able to recruit a lot of Hidden gems.

私えちな声あげてるよ

I am a wizards fan, and I believe Rui will become a star player one day. He is still young and has plenty of time left to prove himself.

응 흑인임

@@user-vh8ni3fe1w 그만

I heard the Japanese didn't accept him because he is only half.

@@Wis_Dom The views of a group do not reflect all of them.

It’s almost like he’s in a league that requires that

@@EdgeToFortnite do you not watch the NBA? There are plenty of players that can’t ball. There are some that are great at just one thing, then there are solid all around BALLERS. He’s in that category.

@@EdgeToFortnite that’s why there’s a thing call a g league

@@justterrell956 There’s nobody in the NBA who cant “ball” 😂 lmao

Dude his in the nba not in random league

Ong. Bro averageing 13 points a game 👀👀

@@zeakninja3419 imagine he becomes more consistent in his three shot/middy and becomes more craftier off the dribble bros gonna be deadly. Could definitely see him being like a New Age Carmelo Anthony

This aged perfectly king. Go lakers!

Love him❤
