Yeah, for real. How popular is it in Japan? I'm in for Steve Nash, I just love watching 3-pointers.

It used to be pretty hot when Slam Dunk was a popular Manga. I don't believe many people care about it now..

I think Michael Jordan is still famous, but overall, I think NBA is pretty minor in Japan. Everyone is into soccer and baseball.
