Why is it popular then? it is just a basic story of a basketball team in trying to earn a championship?As we all know Filipinos are a great basketball enthusiast we could see people playing basketball anywhere from streets blocks, under the bridge, inside a building even in the middle of the road, it is clearly that this anime had made its great impact by inspiring Filipinos the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi to work hard and put effort on everything not just basketball but for many things in life, also Sakuragi no just inspired ordinary citizen but PBA players as well example of this is Marc Pingris of the Philippine team he was inspired of Sakuragi in which he didnt have the skill but the heart to keep playing and overcome the challengers
