Why Keisei Tominaga Came Back to the Huskers | Nebraska Basketball | The Journey 

I’m not Japanese and I hope he is selected in the nba draft! Where he is from doesn’t matter he has an it factor. Just gotta get stronger

Instantly one of my favorite players to watch

30 seconds in, never heard of the guy but can tell hes all Heart. Love it!

Keisei will fit nicely with the Spurs. They know how to integrate international players

We'll be rooting for you young man. From 🇵🇭

It's like he has a direct line on the basket. We're fortunate this gem returned to Lincoln.

He really did performed brilliantly on last years FIBA, what a tough and passionate player.

Living in Japan right now as an American, It's sooo great to see his energy on the court in America as a Japanese person. He looks like he was born there! Because I work with students here, it's somewhat shocking and so incredible to see how much an environment can allow somebody to adopt a totally different personality. Love to see him having fun.

keep on it Keisei,I'd like to see you in the NBA

I was stationed in Yokuska, Japan and had the pleasure of playing ball at their local gym. They love basketball in Japan. Great story.

Brings tears to my eyes man, so beautiful. Such an inspiration!

i wish much success for this kid

It’s wonderful how he fits in completely abroad and loved by everyone there, especially a lot of improvement in English! It’s not easy to talk like that for Japanese people. 日本から応援しています！

Thanks so much for everything you do! 😀

THE REASON Nebraska is doing what they are doing right now is because of any identity. Which means players that actually stay beyond one year. This guy is an identity to the team. Exactly what they needed 👏

☺️とてもトミーの家族の感じが出てて、暖かい動画でした❤

Morey let’s go bring him to Philly and let Pat Bev mentor this kid. Their energy on offense and defense off the bench would be explosive

Very lucky to have him on your team.

His English has improved a great deal

Shohoku and the whole Slamdunk fam is so proud of you brother!!! 💯❤🔥🔥🔥

He’s not new to the the avid bball watcher. Bro can ball. He balled out with Japan in the Fiba World Cup.

The Pride of Asia !

Ohtani, Inoue, and Tominaga! Pride of Japan! 🗾

Good luck Keisei 頑張れけいせい！！

Respect.

お母さんとのハグのやり取りめっちゃおもしろい🤣応援してます！

Basketball connects us an all!

never heard of this guy but im hoping to see him on the big stage soon

GO KEISEI!!!!!!

his dad is huge!

まじでカッコ良すぎる！！

何より、世界中、生まれた場所によって得意不得意がある中で、体格が大きな国の有利なスポーツであるバスケットボールにおいて日本人が話題に上がることは嬉しく思います。 皆さまもあなた独自の得意を思う存分活かして生きていきましょう👍

Definitely a proud father . His family makes a great team.

He is a true baller.

Cheering him on... after seeing him in last year's World Cup, he still has some work to do. Maybe a big year in Nebraska will translate to the Olympics next summer.

I'm Japanese and I hope Tominaga gets selected in the NBA draft.

けいせいがNBAに行くのを楽しみにしてます、けいせいもきっとすごく楽しいと思うこれからもバスケを楽しんで！

🔥🔥🔥 this what the game is about! And he actually nice fr. Undersized but he can ball for sure. I wouldn’t mind somebody giving him a shot.

🔥🔥🔥

Can’t wait to see him in the nba

If hoiberg sees something then I have admit he has come a long way and I hope plays in the big leagues

I want to see him be successful in the NBA. It will be tough… but anything is possible! Most likely will sign as an undrafted free agent and spend some time in the G League before (hopefully) making an NBA team. If NBA doesn’t work out, could easily go pro in his native country Japan

He's Hisashi Mitsui from Slam Dunk

🎉🎉🎉

basketball is about athleticism and muscle memory. if he can do it consistently, he can do well

He should hug his momma lol

I’m also Japanese, We can see Japanese NBA player who have grew up with steph if he’s drafted

you already know bros favorite manga growing up was slam dunk

Samurai Spirit 🇯🇵

Hope he makes it to the NBA and balls out

Considering Japan has produced Shohei, why not.

After keisei maybe nebraska should get sakihama next.

Thank you Nebraska for looking at talent and not by the way you look!

I just hope he stays humble to his culture. Good luck Keisei

케이세이 토니나가 부럽구만

Dude give your mom a hug bruh lol

Good to see another Asian brother up there

kid can flat out ball

so he didnt apply for the draft yet? cause I know you cant go back to school if you apply for the draft, but I don't know how it works for fiba.

Bucks need him. Hope he comes to Milwaukee

Japanese Uncle Drew? It's all about BUCKETS!! I wish this young man well.

Shades of Larry Bird. Go get 'em Keisei!

GBR!!!

Sulammu Dunk!!!!

Damn he's father is so tall😅 if they feed the guy American diet when he was younger probably that guy would atleast be 6'5".

U don't need practice if u got it, kid! Just bring it!

He was hoping to grow a couple more inches... I think he's closer to 5'11 than 6'2"

6:59 Kesei's mom will forever hate his girlfriend for this moment!

NBAに通用するとは思っていなかった！ごめん、富永くん！ Initially, I didn't think he'd be NBA material, thought he would be a G Leaguer, or play professional league in Europe/Australia. But he was on a hot streak against my Hoosiers, and also playing well against Purdue in the upset. And should the Nebraska be able to get into the tourney, which they'd likely be, and regardless of how far Nebraska goes, he's gonna make case to be a legit draft pick. Not only having a range like Steph Curry, but compared to Yuta Watanabe and Rui Hachimura, Keisei has experience in playing in a tougher conference in Big Ten and playing with so much passion, and that could be a plus for him in the draft. Warriors, Sixers, Mavs seems to be a legit destination, though Hawks and Pacers making sense based on his play style.

I want to see his dad play center

How tall is he?

He a lefty… I swear most lefty’s can ball yes but they are numbers wise great deadeye shooters. His pull up game is insane he is bouncy and just quick af

I hope the Warriors get him, there so many Japanese resident in the Bay Area and all NorthernCalifornia.

I can’t believe Keisei’s father is so tall, what maybe 6’10?, and Keisei is only 6’2 or so. Maybe Keisei will grow a few more inches after age 20 like that LA Laker Vanderbuilt did.

Welcome to the Warriors Tomi

daym bro got his moms height

his father is 7 footer

Would love him go against Yao ming

Some shots he don’t even follow through crazy gone by the time you see the ball leave his hands.

30 on me like i'm Stephen Curry 🥶💥

Tominaga-san! Gambatte!

I don't follow the NBA anymore because of racism. I only got back when Linsanity came.

Another Asian point guard will be popular in nba future

If this guy makes the nba and becomes a super star just like Steph NBA's rating worldwide will be a landslide

君たちはまだ知らないよ。富永の本当の強さを

Japan’s no. 1 export……to the NBA….in the next while.

like Eiji Sawakita in the flesh

So he can craft his skills some more before going draft

いいね

lefty shooter

If Duncan Robinson and Tyler hero can you play in the NBA who is KT

The hate for Asian basketball players in the US is real.

So how's he eligible to play another season when he was a senior last year?

Bro can ball and got a fine honey too!

I swear, fred hoiberg looks like that guy who plays as the president from olympus has fallen

Dang, what a baller. Unfortunate that he didn't get all of his dad's height lol

From the perspective of American fans, do you think Tominaga can make it to the NBA?

you know what, dude actually looks like an Asian version Luka 😄

An Asian jj reddick style type of player.

I like the highlights. And I wanna see more of this guy. Seeing an Asian ball up is captivating. Wisconsin, Nebraska, Indiana, and Purdue makes sure to keep them some white players. Them white boys be ballers too!
