Ryota Miyagi

Now I just want to talk about who is my most favorite point guard in the world of Slam Dunk series. Talking about point guard in Slam Dunk we all know that there is bunch of them. Of course! because obviously in every team of basketball there must be at least one point guard in it. A point guard is a very important role in a team because he is the one who make plays or strategies, he’s the one who lead the team and the one who make passes, he is also the one who should carry the ball most of the time, so he must be good at dribbling the ball. In other words point guard position is the main brain of the team inside the court. In slam dunk we all know that there are so many bad-ass point guard in this series like Akira Sendoh, Shinichi Maki, Kenji Fujima, Fukatsu and many more. But for me my most favorite point guard in the series is no other than Ryota Miyagi.

Ryota Miyagi a.k.a Ligthning or Shorty was the starting point guard of the Shohoku Team where Hanamichi Sakuragi playing. He’s only second year, 5’6 inch in height,. He always claim himself that he is the number one point guard in the prefecture and was greatly in love with ayako who is the manager of their them.

I’m sure you knew this guy but only if you already watch slamdunk in anime or read it in manga. Kaede Rukawa is one of the main character in Slamdunk anime/manga series in japan. If you asked me about his basketball skill in the series, all I can say is that this guy is a beast in basketball. I think he is one the reason why I got fascinated in playing basketball. I think I’m just only 10 years old when I started watching slamdunk and I can still watch it over and over again because it’s really one of my favorite.

To Anime and Basketball Fanatic

To someone who don't know anything about this anime or manga series but you're an avid fan of basketball and anime. I really highly recommend this series for you, it's a manga series written by Takehiko Inoue it's about a basketball team from shohoku high school. It was serialized from japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series. It's very popular in japan and many other asian countries as well as europe.

 

The series centers around the life of the main character named Hanamichi Sakuragi. He's a deliquent young high school student who is good for nothing other than fighting. Sakuragi is a hopeless romantic guy who already got rejected 50th times by every girl. He then met Haruko Akagi whom he fell in love with immediately. Haruko is the one who encouraged Sakuragi to join the basketball team. On that team Sakuragi met his team captain Takenori akagi who is also the older brother of haruko and kaede rukawa  a very popular and talented player and also a freshman like sakuragi whom he really think as his greatest rival in basketball and for the love of Haruko, later in the series he also met his other great teammate ryota miyagi a very fast and skilled point guard and Hisashi Mitsui a former mvp and a great three point specialist.

There so many great things about this series because it's really full of fun and epic moments. It's imposible for you to not even make a single laugh just by seeing this series, Especially Hanamichi Sakuragi who always think and very proud that his a great Basketball Genius but actually at first he's only a beginner who know nothing about basketball and almost every people in this series called him an idiot! :D

But the most exciting part about this series is the way how Hanamichi Sakuragi grow as a great player little by little because of his hard work and his endless determination. This series is definitely inspiring, it's all about friendship, hardwork, dream, team work, leadership and many more. It is also one of the reason I got more addicted into basketball. I hope you try this series because for me it's really one of the best series i've ever seen. :)
