Just watched the 1st ep, so far im thinking this shyt lowkey bout Kevin Love and Rubio
I've actually been thinking on who players translate as. When I watch it I see
Kuroko: Rubio. Self explanatory.
Kagami: Pre-Prime Garnett. Hyper athletic, unstoppable around the rim, defends his position well, bothers dudes with his length, slowly developing a mid-range game.
Aomine: Wade circa 2005. Would say Iverson, but he plays moreso above the rim. Crazy rebounding/shot-blocking ability for his size. Electric handle, ridiculous shot making ability.
Midori: Melo. Has all the athletic ability in the world, but has fallen in love with his outside shot and isn't going to be setting any assist records anytime soon. Real talk, that moment when he revealed to Kagami that he was physically a beast too was a real
moment. Midori is so far the only player not maximizing his potential.
Kiyoshi: Love. Not super athletic, but has a full on arsenal of post-moves and takes more athletic defenders to school. Can step outside and knock down a shot.
Kise: T-Mac. Forward size with guard skills.
From reading a little bit of the wiki pages on them both without spoiling myself, Murasakibara seems like Shaq, while Akashi seems like D.Rose.
