It is the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi who has no knowledge of basketball and just dislikes the game. He enrolls in Shohoku High to make a girlfriend. He becomes famous in school because of notorious acts, red hair, short temper, and fights. Once he is approached by a girl named Haruko Akagi who asks him to do a slam dunk. But he fails to do so. Later on, he decides to learn the sport to impress her. The show captivates your focus even though the viewer doesn’t know anything about the sport because the main character also doesn’t know anything about it.
