You know, I'm really glad I decided to give a sports manga a try. After reading Vagabond, I had heard Takehiko made a sports manga, and to my surprise, it was basketball, which is my favorite sport, but I would be lying if I didn't say I had low expectations for it, but instead of it being average, this manga was amazing; I've never experienced as much excitement with any other manga as I have with this manga, just absolutely amazing, almost every chapter would leave you on the edge of your seat; being able to watch this team grow was fun to watch too, Sakuragi going from a complete dumbass to the person that sealed the deal against Sannoh, his improvement was fun to watch. Slam Dunk was truly spectacular; thank you, Takehiko for creating this masterpiece, and thank you, TMP, for translating it.
