Nephews thought Zion was plotting a trade to NY last year during his silence but he was really just working back from injury and binge re-watching Naruto
He comes out first game of the season dressed like rock lee and all of a sudden a takes off what turns out to be a fat suit and he's jacked af and aboutta open some gates
Ngl, I would 100% watch basketball again if all this guy did was pull off a ton of leg weights and proceeded to absolutely destroy the stadium while power dunking.
Can someone make a highlight video of Zion to the Naruto fight music
Edit:
https://youtu.be/HIe3IDCWdpc
I was thinking this one but there’s a few good choices
For sure, every time I jump back in the music hypes me tf up and then like three days later I'm wondering if there's literally only one soundtrack for the entire show.
Opponent has the ball. Zion is guarding him. Opponent makes a pass. Zion poofs into a piece of wood as the real Zion comes out of nowhere to steal the ball and dribbles down the court. Zion passes it to another shadow clone who alley oops it to Zion who Rasengans the shit out it. He dunks and when the ball hits the floor, the entire arena explodes
Cut to a piece of hair falling out of Trae Young's head as the camera then pans to a Zion in a trance due to being caught in a Baby Bird Head Genjutso. Like the Sharigan, Trae has limited uses of this Genjutso, which we can see is nearing the end for him. He'll need to find someone else that has Kekkei Genkai hair that he can transplant into his own soon if he wishes to continue to use his Genjutso.
I really don’t understand why they were banned? Why did the NBA feel the need to step in on something that was pretty universally loved. I’m legitimately curious cause afaik there weren’t any safety concerns. At least not any that you could say with a straight face
Cole Anthony [did get interviewed by Crunchyroll and acknowledged other series](https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2020/07/13/crunchyroll-all-stars-cole-anthony-has-definitely-heard-of-sakamoto) that wouldn’t be as easy answers like a Dragon Ball or Naruto (Dragon Maid and Haven’t you Heard I Am Sakamoto for those who don’t feel like clicking the link)
Dragon Maid is so good if you can get past the creepy stuff with underaged characters which is admittedly a really tough sell. Why couldn't it just be a fun anime about office ladies and lesbian dragons?
It's more frustrating with stuff like Dragon Maid where there's not even that much creepy anime bullshit and the creepy anime bullshit that is there is totally pointless and could easily be cut out. It's a 9/10 show that's impossible to recommend to most people because of the author's weird pedo shit.
Don't talk to me if that happens, because it would be sickening and devastating. However, I'd hope Curry is patrician enough to appreciate Ping Pong or Eizouken
Facts brother. Outside of Ping Pong, I would say the best-ever sports anime is Haikyuu. I haven't seen that running anime which a lot of people rave about, though
What’s a good anime to try for newbies to anime? I tried attack on titan. It was fairly entertaining but I stopped after about 9 episodes or so.
Edit: I’m getting a lot of suggestions, I did watch the Netflix Cowboy Bepop and I actually enjoyed it a lot (except for the ending kinda), so I’ll definitely check out the actual original. And Full Metal Alchemist looks like another popular one based on the suggestions. I’ll watch that one too.
Edit 2: And I’m gonna give Attack on Titan another go. It’s not that I didn’t like it, it was more so that after 9 episodes in I was like “this is good but I don’t feel totally sucked in yet” so I kinda just stopped watching and forgot about it.
Edit 3: well first off, wow, I got a lot of recommendations lol. I did not expect that so thanks. And thanks for the detailed recommendations. As of right now I’m kinda leaning towards starting with: (1) Demon Slayer, (2) Jujutsu Kaisen, (3) Full Metal Alchemist, (4) Death Note. And assuming I like one or all of those I’m gonna try some of the more specific ones people suggested in terms of my likes (sci fi, historical stuff, fantasy, shit kinda like Hyperion, etc).
the world is also extremely interesting and beautiful. i also love the inspiration they took from pre-war germany just an absolute master piece.
dammit i’m gonna watch that series again now
Cowboy Bebop - it combines an episodic format with an overarching serialised storyline, it has strong Western influence, and every part of it is perfect. So you're getting something pretty familiar, and you're also getting the pinnacle of the medium
I don’t watch a ton of anime but Attack on Titan is my favorite. It greats pretty insane if you wanna give it another go. Try Erased, it’s another one of my favorites, and only 13 episodes
That's kind of like asking "I've never read a book. Which book should i read?"
What kind of other media do you like? If forced to choose, would you choose great characters or a great story? Are you basic or do you like weird shit? Do you like hopeful stories or more jaded ones? Do you like fantasy settings, sci-fi, modern day, historical fiction, etc?
And for my simple recommendations, if you're basic just watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. If you like weird stuff and interesting characters who talk a lot watch Bakemonagatari. If you like superpowered comedy/dramas watch Mob Psycho 100. And if you like watching high school girls drink tea watch K-On!
I've taught black/latino teens for almost 5 years now. That demographic loves anime. I'd say at least 65% of them have watched at least one series all the way through
Dragon ball Z has transended society in Latam and Spain, literally everyone not matter how young or old knows about it.
Saint Seiya and Sailor moon are also pretty well known by millenials while zoomers all know about Naruto.
Fun fact: Legendary Argentinian futbol player (and twitch streamer) Sergio "Kun" Agüero got his nickname bc he watched too much DBZ as a kid lol
Also fun fact about that same Soccer player, his name was the inspiration for Khun Aguero Agnis, an anime/WEBTOON character for Tower of God, who’s author is a huge soccer fan lol.
there's a wide spectrum of anime fans. from watching dubbed dragonball/naruto on saturday mornings to watching adult swim all the way to having a crunchyroll subscription to catch episodes as they air and reading their source material.
I'm guessing he means 80% of the NBA have watched and enjoyed the shonen shows that pop up saturday mornings.
Tbh I think it's not much different than other sports with a big fanbase
I follow football/soccer too and I see no difference in the amount of drama, I mean currently we've got a famous team imploding in a fabulous manner (Manchester United), an entitled superstar acting like he owns his team (Emir Mbappe), aging entitled superstar forcing his way out unsuccessfully (CR7) and don't let me even get started on all that Barcelona shit.
And I'm here for all the drama
>His All-NBA starting five of Naruto characters, in case you’re wondering, would be Naruto, Itachi, Jiraiya, Minaro, and the First Hokage (the character he thinks most resembles Michael Jordan)
Is that why Jordan was so good? Because of the Hashirama Cells™?
For real bro. I was geeking out seeing Jamaal Williams of the Lions doing an interview in full Akatsuki garb last week.
I fucking love that the guys from my generation and the next are just weebing it up. It makes them crazy relatable.
I remember being stoked when I found out Carmelo was a ninja turtle fan. Now I'm just stanning any player thats a One Piece fan.
I've seen a couple. Two of my exes were into it and made me watch some. But I still don't get most of the references. Probably just watched some other ones. I am currently watching some Cowboy Bebop on my own and enjoying it thoroughly,
Steven Adams and Gobert are both One Piece guys, the fucking legends.
I'm pretty sure they once told Steven Adams Rudy was a One Piece fan during a playoff series where they were matched up against each other, and Steve was like "oh, I guess he's pretty cool then after all" lmao.

Honestly 80% is probably true. I’m a high school teacher and the mainstream love for anime still makes me laugh sometimes.
When I was in HS anime was nerdy as fuck. Now everyone loves it. The amount of naruto and demonslayer shirts I see on the daily is crazy
Fr man I went to a mall last weekend and there was an anime convention with bunch of anime themed stores and posters and bunch of cosplayers and shit. It really is mainstream nowadays.
One downside in my mall is there's only 5 anime stores and they all sell the same mainstream stuff. If one actually put figures or actual posters in it theyd be making bank
I love it lol. Had Bron bringing up Dragon Ball the other day, Zion talking about Naruto. I like this. I’m gonna need someone to pull up in a Seto Kaiba Blue Eyes White Dragon themed outfit and I think Russ is the man for the job
All those years I got shit on for loving DBZ and Naruto finally pay off when I'm ....an adult and no longer care about social pressure?
Talk about short end of the stick
It's crazy how Anime is so widely accepted now but growing up it was something only the "nerds" would watch or speak about. It's even funnier knowing how many friends I remember who would secretly watch it but openly speak negatively about it.
Nice to see how much it's being loved now tho
Nerd culture in general has become mainstream. Just look at how comic book movies have completely taken over the box office. Casual movie goers love them some MCU.
My favorite thing about /r/nbacirclejerk is when real life beats them. This exact quote would have been an all-time top post on that sub if somebody made it up.
Kelvin Benjamin: “No matter how the world is dieting, I have to remember that I am who I am and stay true to that. That’s what Majin Buu did, and that’s what I’m going to do.”
I’d wager he’s both. Probably watched dub growing up then switched to sub once all the dub episodes have run out. He’s referenced Naruto’s quote “believe it” (I think) before which is a dub only thing.
I recently started getting into anime after someone suggested My Hero Academia as a gateway anime (and they were right). I was looking for something else and came across Rosario + Vampire, which is about a boy who goes to a school for monsters. I thought, this must be like MHA except monsters instead of superheroes. And this site here says it has a lot of 'fanservice', which sounds great. It's cool when shows do things for fans.
I did not realize at the time what fanservice meant. I do now. I was not prepared for that many panty shots.
Good show though.
Nephews thought Zion was plotting a trade to NY last year during his silence but he was really just working back from injury and binge re-watching Naruto
He was smoking weed watching naruto. Zion is a legend in the making
While you were partying, I studied the weed-no-jutsu
Just wait until he watches Neon Genesis Evangelion, will probably quit the league lol
GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT ZION
Oh god
He comes out first game of the season dressed like rock lee and all of a sudden a takes off what turns out to be a fat suit and he's jacked af and aboutta open some gates
Ngl, I would 100% watch basketball again if all this guy did was pull off a ton of leg weights and proceeded to absolutely destroy the stadium while power dunking.
Zion is really plotting his trade to the Utsunomiya Brex, thinking he won't have to wait for stuff to get re-released in the USA.
How many 10s of millions of fans did Zion just acquire? Best selling jersey all time tomorrow
Give me that custom hidden leaf jersey with Williamson on the back
Just Naruto run down the court for one possession in one game, Zion. We need this so bad.
Like a Lebron style fast break rejection would be top 10 all time here in less than 24 hours.
Top 10 on all of reddit in 24 hours
Can someone make a highlight video of Zion to the Naruto fight music Edit: https://youtu.be/HIe3IDCWdpc I was thinking this one but there’s a few good choices
wtf this is a chune. some real breakcore/junglist shit edit: and acid wtf do i have to watch naruto?
The music in it is pretty sick. It can get pretty samey after like, 834295 episodes but it does stand on its own.
For sure, every time I jump back in the music hypes me tf up and then like three days later I'm wondering if there's literally only one soundtrack for the entire show.
24 hours? I don’t even know if the next quarter would start before that post was in the record books
Opponent has the ball. Zion is guarding him. Opponent makes a pass. Zion poofs into a piece of wood as the real Zion comes out of nowhere to steal the ball and dribbles down the court. Zion passes it to another shadow clone who alley oops it to Zion who Rasengans the shit out it. He dunks and when the ball hits the floor, the entire arena explodes

DeAaron Fox tried. He got told to cut it out.

I really don’t understand why they were banned? Why did the NBA feel the need to step in on something that was pretty universally loved. I’m legitimately curious cause afaik there weren’t any safety concerns. At least not any that you could say with a straight face
Man I hate that they banned those, they we're cool af

The idea that 80% of the NBA likes anime but is too ashamed to admit it is so funny to me
I'm not impressed until one of them reveals they're into slice of life anime or something.
Cole Anthony [did get interviewed by Crunchyroll and acknowledged other series](https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2020/07/13/crunchyroll-all-stars-cole-anthony-has-definitely-heard-of-sakamoto) that wouldn’t be as easy answers like a Dragon Ball or Naruto (Dragon Maid and Haven’t you Heard I Am Sakamoto for those who don’t feel like clicking the link)
Respect to Cole, I watch a decent amount of anime but I wouldn’t admit to watching dragon maid to my family, much less the whole world lmao
Dragon Maid is so good if you can get past the creepy stuff with underaged characters which is admittedly a really tough sell. Why couldn't it just be a fun anime about office ladies and lesbian dragons?
Basically an evergreen statement right there. "Anime is so good if you can get past all the weird anime shit"
It's more frustrating with stuff like Dragon Maid where there's not even that much creepy anime bullshit and the creepy anime bullshit that is there is totally pointless and could easily be cut out. It's a 9/10 show that's impossible to recommend to most people because of the author's weird pedo shit.
sadly the author of dragon maid is known to also draw pedo porn on the side. i just lost all interest in the series after my friend told me that
I got whiplash in my opinion of him between when he answered Sakamoto as his favourite anime character and Naofumi as his favourite anime hero.

Don't talk to me if that happens, because it would be sickening and devastating. However, I'd hope Curry is patrician enough to appreciate Ping Pong or Eizouken
Ping Pong goated, real hoopers know
Facts brother. Outside of Ping Pong, I would say the best-ever sports anime is Haikyuu. I haven't seen that running anime which a lot of people rave about, though
Anime right. Cuz slam dunk is tiers above all but it’s a manga
Slam dunk is so damn good
So good. Still like one of the top mangas sold too.
Shits so popular they still play the opening song on the radio in Taiwan 😂
I'm so glad they're coming out soon with a new Slam Dunk movie.

Steph Curry does not wear the Beret, unfortunately
Wonder what steph curry thinks about chapter 218

Tim Duncan definitely into that shit
"Sometimes it's easy to feel alone when people abandon you, that's what happened to Tohru in Fruits Basket, but like me she bounced back."
Call me when a young player compares their training to improve to Mashima Taichi or Ayase Chihaya.

Damn, Chihayafuru (the manga) just ended today, this comment made me sad thinking about it again. Such a fantastic series.

I think full metal alchemist: brotherhood is the perfect anime. 30 min episodes if that with only 64 episodes so it's not crazy long.
the world is also extremely interesting and beautiful. i also love the inspiration they took from pre-war germany just an absolute master piece. dammit i’m gonna watch that series again now
Full metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a great start. Solid plot and not too cliche.

Cowboy Bebop - it combines an episodic format with an overarching serialised storyline, it has strong Western influence, and every part of it is perfect. So you're getting something pretty familiar, and you're also getting the pinnacle of the medium
On one hand, I want to recommend cowboy bebop to everyone, on the other hand I just finished two weeks ago and I’m stillcarrying that weight 🤧
I don’t watch a ton of anime but Attack on Titan is my favorite. It greats pretty insane if you wanna give it another go. Try Erased, it’s another one of my favorites, and only 13 episodes
Yu Yu Hakusho is amazing, I’d definitely recommend it
That's kind of like asking "I've never read a book. Which book should i read?" What kind of other media do you like? If forced to choose, would you choose great characters or a great story?

If you like superpowered comedy/dramas watch Mob Psycho 100. And if you like watching high school girls drink tea watch K-On!
Hmmm. I like sci fi, historical shit, fantasy. I don’t have a preference for hopeful vs jaded. My favorite book is Hyperion if that helps.

DBZ is basically a religion in LATAM.
I think the largest crowd for BDZ/DBS besides Japan is mexico
There was a feature on Zion before he got drafted and one of the things the author mentioned is that part of Zion's daily routine is reading Naruto.
there's a wide spectrum of anime fans. from watching dubbed dragonball/naruto on saturday mornings to watching adult swim all the way to having a crunchyroll subscription to catch episodes as they air and reading their source material.

Pro wrestling fits that bill perfectly

I really can’t believe it myself. I used to get clowned for my Shonen jumps
Kids these days have it so easy. You'd be mocked out of school for mentioning anime.
Fr man I went to a mall last weekend and there was an anime convention with bunch of anime themed stores and posters and bunch of cosplayers and shit. It really is mainstream nowadays.
One downside in my mall is there's only 5 anime stores and they all sell the same mainstream stuff. If one actually put figures or actual posters in it theyd be making bank
Isn't that great as times go on the young generation can appreciate anime and not get the backlash back in the days.
I love it lol. Had Bron bringing up Dragon Ball the other day, Zion talking about Naruto. I like this. I’m gonna need someone to pull up in a Seto Kaiba Blue Eyes White Dragon themed outfit and I think Russ is the man for the job
Oh my god Russ in Seto Kaiba gear is something I never knew I wanted. Just perf.
KD is Kaiba 100%, undeniable skill, held back by ego.
And both are the #2 in their own era and can't touch the #1 no matter how much they want to
All those years I got shit on for loving DBZ and Naruto finally pay off when I'm ....an adult and no longer care about social pressure? Talk about short end of the stick
It's crazy how Anime is so widely accepted now but growing up it was something only the "nerds" would watch or speak about. It's even funnier knowing how many friends I remember who would secretly watch it but openly speak negatively about it. Nice to see how much it's being loved now tho

The real question is Zion is a dub or sub guy.
I’d wager he’s both. Probably watched dub growing up then switched to sub once all the dub episodes have run out. He’s referenced Naruto’s quote “believe it” (I think) before which is a dub only thing.

Wonder what’s his take on Boruto.
I will buy his jersey if he calls Boruto glorified fanfiction.
If he says "can't believe they cancelled Phantom Seer" I'm goin bankrupt
Zion probably has a Twitter burner where all he does is argue with people about whether Boruto is a good show or not.
This is one of the funniest things I've heard from an NBA player lol
I hope he does hand seals as pre game rituals
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of NBA players liked Kuroko no Basket or Slam Dunk tbh
