Kawamura Yuki, the basketball samurai: 29 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists. He is only 5’8



Here is the stats

Despite the loss, he shows everything in this game. Japan deserves more attention and respect from the world, especially this little giant, who scored the highest points in this game.

  1. what’s crazy is their backup is even shorter

  2. Far-Asparagus6416

    And he’s not even the shortest guy named Yuki on the team

  3. NotManyBuses

    I love how he shoots like 30 foot step backs because he’s so short that he needs the space. What a baller.

  4. SWEATYBOYZ

    I recommend watching his highlight videos of 23-24 season. Makes a lot of tough shots.
    He had a 20/20 game with points and assists and a couple of 40 point games I believe.

    That just shows you how good and somewhat insane you’d have to be to dedicate yourself to basketball professionally. Hats off.

    the lack of post up play at the guard spot in international play, helps him to not be exposed in defense, Nando De Colo who is taller by almost a foot, opted a cross court pass that resulted into a turnover instead of posting him up

    Look, I liked watching him and was rooting for Japan, but it’s hard to imagine anyone in an NBA game getting hyped up over 9/26 shooting. Some of those shots were very ill-advised.

  8. He was making plays all over the court on both ends. Grabbing those boards were particularly impressive. Also broke down Wemby off the dribble for an assist to Hawkinson (who also was solid). Great game, fun player.

    I’ve been very impressed by the Japanese PGs. Those two, especially Yuki are so shifty and fast, and they collapse the defense hard for great kickouts, lobs, and other looks. Players who are a full foot taller or more than them were having a lot of difficulties staying in front of them and staying balanced. Speed (with agility and control) kills.

    Not sure what it is, but his jump shot form reminds me of prime Jimmer.

    Kawamura Yuki the basketball sushi samurai dragon sumo ninja warrior. What is this title bro?

  12. GotMoFans

    What’s the Japanese translation for “Spud?”

  13. Why is there always some racial joke whenever the player is Asian

  14. ptcgoalex

    Almost 2 feet shorter than Wemby and almost dropped A 30 point triple double in a 40 min fiba game. Legend

  15. He went 3/16 after Rui was ejected.

    The rest of the team went 3/5 and one of the misses was the last second heave in OT.

    Maybe, just maybe he shouldn’t have taken all the shots? Wild thought I know.

    Insanely impressive performance. IT-esque, even

  17. _Tar_Ar_Ais_

    dude hit a stepback over Markkanen not too long ago either, nasty

  18. bearcat--

    He is on a 10 day contract with Grizzlies – hope he earns some playing time on the team.

  19. randomusernamegame

    Hated the last few min of the fourth but he had a great game
