This is so crazy. I am so happy the NBA dove into Hachimura’s backstory. I would love to see more.
this is marketing and this is one of the reason why they chose wizard to play with gsw
@@kingmeruem1 the wizards would’ve played in Japan anyways since they played there before but they had to find a team that also had a relatively good following in Japan also and what better person than Steph Curry who regularly makes tours there for brand and adidas and the reigning champs😂
the quality of this video is insane. I love the way they told his story through his childhood neighbors
Facts
Took them long enough.
I can't wait for this dude to shine even brighter on the Lakers!
Same here👍
@@lexbeltran1354 both got your wishes, last two games he’s averaged 21pts, on very very efficient shooting😳oh an a dub in last game vs Knicks
Right
🎉🎉🎉
He’s balling right now in the playoffs!
Who’s here after his 29 point game 1 playoff game?
im too
he is mad good
Would he be the first Japanese player in win an NBA championship if the Lakers win this year?
@@SimonNickels yes
Rui has game. Don't sleep on him. Remember, he was drafted with the 9th pick.
Rui's story would be perfect for an anime or manga.
He is Akagi from Slamdunk!
Anime companies should try the next slamdunk/Kuroko, it's the Best time
2:10 I just teared up a little. America is considered more inclusive and welcoming than Japan is, but not once has someone told me that being mixed is something to be proud of. Never in my life. Nobody has a soul that pure to say this to someone, especially a young man. That really shook me up.
I mean why would you need to be told that in America? Sorry if I’m being insensitive but the person told him that in Japan because he thought otherwise due to being ‘estranged’ for his color. Being mixed in America is damn near celebrated so people aren’t necessarily going to feel the need to validate that for you even more
@@tcggggg Because I don't have any friends.
Americans taunt Asians to eat lunch with other Asians at school. Americans threaten to keep Asians off the basketball court. When Asians walk down the street in the US, they are thrown a cup of juice by white or black. In Japan, such terrible discrimination does not occur. Why do Americans hide the fact that their country is the most racist country in the world? Count the incidents of racist violence against Asians that occurred this year.
I hope you are inspired to be proud! You'll find friends just don't be shy, try new things, and venture to new places.
Hey, I tell that to my kids all the time and I hope they understand.
sounds like his childhood coach was an amazing dude, it's understated how much good childhood coaching can influence a player's trajectory
Special dude right there. One of a kind. Happy to see him succeeding in the league.
この映像がNBAの公式アカウントに載ったことが日本の誇りすぎる
いいねいっぱいついた他人のコメント丸パクリして稼ぐいいねは君の誇りかな？w
@@LeGoat006 気持ち悪！なんやお前
中学生のとき、毎朝「バスケしようよ」と違うクラスなのに誘いにきた友達が泣かす・・・
八村、本当は嬉しかっただろうな
人間てこういう小さな出来事が後の人生を大きく変えるんよな
so interesting to hear a pure japanese accent in a bassy baritone voice

Rui will love playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. We welcome you and we will support you!
This is rare. Glad to see change. Congrats on his journey.
Woah... This clip definitely gives a SLAM DUNK vibe... the basketball gymnasium... the seasoned middle school basketball coach is kinda like coach Anzai... the basketball enthusiast and sports shop owner is kinda like the female version of the one in anime... and of course Rui Hachimura is like the real life and more versatile version of Akagi Takenori... amazingly surreal!
It actually does damn
lol was looking for this comment, he's definitely the real life Akagi Takenori, but with the skill of Kaede Rukawa!
Hachimura, who is Japanese and became an NBA player, is really amazing.
He is the pride of Japan!
Hachimura may not be a star player in the NBA, but he is a superstar player to Japanese people.
I am a wizards fan, and I believe Rui will become a star player one day. He is still young and has plenty of time left to prove himself.
응 흑인임
@@user-vh8ni3fe1w 그만
I heard the Japanese didn't accept him because he is only half.
@@Wis_Dom The views of a group do not reflect all of them.
最後まで 見て 本当に感動しました
八村塁さんは 日本の誇りです！
What about Ohtani?
@@barrytrotterisweirdgood
@@barrytrotterisweird meh
This is amazing. Amazing you guys were able get rare footage and interviews in Japan. Tough.
Would have been cool to touch on his time at Gonzaga too. I feel like that played a pretty big contribution to where he is rn as well. He didn’t even speak English when he got to the school and left ready for the NBA. Pretty crazy
I think one of the kids towards the end was wearing a Gonzaga T-shirt.
Rui tweeted that this is chapter 1 in a docuseries so maybe they will cover that. I hope they do!
Mark Few is a great coach. Gonzaga seems almost too small for his potential, but he keeps being able to recruit a lot of Hidden gems.
日本で試合をしてくれてありがとう！！！
Thank you for playing in japan🔥🔥
Yo production on this was amazing. Props to the team that made this. So wholesome
Really hope we get to see more of Rui in the comming seasons, he's a special player and I think he's really got potential to become one of the greats of the game
Ong. Bro averageing 13 points a game 👀👀
@@zeakninja3419 imagine he becomes more consistent in his three shot/middy and becomes more craftier off the dribble bros gonna be deadly. Could definitely see him being like a New Age Carmelo Anthony
This aged perfectly king. Go lakers!
LA got a gem in Rui. So excited for him!
富山メインで取材されてて富山愛を感じる
「バカだったからこそよかった」めっちゃいい言葉やん
Japangameで八村選手の名前がコールされた時、涙が止まらなかったほど感動しました。とチョイスした風景がどれも神秘的で琴線に刺さる。。。Japanese BLACK SAMURAI、とてもかっこいいです。🙏🌸🇯🇵🗻🗼🏯🌸🙏
私えちな声あげてるよ
yo thank you, NBA for making this video!!
Now I'm more proud of him and Japan!
Also, I appreciate that two NBA teams came over to Japan and played the game, which amazed Japanese NBA fans!!!
わざわざ地元まで行って取材してて海外のドキュメンタリーは本当に質が高い
There is racism in Japan too, everywhere in the world. But one thing I can say, racism in Japan is much more tolerable than in the west. There is fairness in the system.
Saw him play last night for the Japan game. This guy can BALL.
It’s almost like he’s in a league that requires that
@@EdgeToFortnite do you not watch the NBA? There are plenty of players that can’t ball. There are some that are great at just one thing, then there are solid all around BALLERS. He’s in that category.
@@EdgeToFortnite that’s why there’s a thing call a g league
@@justterrell956 There’s nobody in the NBA who cant “ball” 😂 lmao
Dude his in the nba not in random league
good luck to Rui
cheers from Korea
A source of great pride for his community and country by representing in basketball in the best basketball league in the world👏
Rui is a great player.....He belongs to the NBA.....japan national team just keeps getting stronger...
I admire and respect who you are Rui. Keep growing and keep shining! 🙏🏽
Respect from Algéria 🇩🇿🇩🇿❤️🇩🇿🇩🇿❤️🇩🇿🇩🇿❤️
Loved the video. It is amazing to hear his story
Thank you for making this special edition! Go Rui! We’re rooting for you!
Love him❤
This visuals for this were top tier 🔥 excited to see him on the lakers
His coach really pointed out that being mixed is sumn you should be proud of and he’s a real g for that. Sticking out like a sore thumb in Japan for being “different” can be quite daunting. Love you Rui 🩷🇯🇵
Wonderful! ❤️🇯🇵⛩️🌸
Keep up the great work Rui! 🙌🏻
ありがとうNBA😭
がんばれ八村💪😤
oh man, this is such a great story, I really love these kind of content
“Excellence is never an accident; it is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.”
Rui is a superstar back in his hometown and Japan. Love how wholesome it is that all his tv appearances were being recorded
八村〜🏀日本人の誇りよ✨️✨️
This was such a sweet story ❤️
This is an incredible story. I'm very respectful to him.
Love Rui so much!!! Followed since Gonzaga
Japan loves and supports Rui Hachimura
Great! This is a video that will inspire many more kids! Good stuff NBA
One of the best stories ever!
What a great story. Thank you for sharing!
Great video about who seems like a humble and most definitely talented basketball player. I hope Rui keeps thriving and can one day be a superstar in the league. Also hoping that he keeps being the humble and peace-loving person that he is, as shown in the video, and not get tangled into any weird situations or change his character because of living in America.
I have mixed feelings about my time in Japan, but this was an amazing video. It's heartwarming to see how proud Toyama is of Rui.
imagine he win his first chip as a laker this year
My lady is a Gonzaga fan and has been for a minute. She used to make me watch the games with her. Soon as I saw this dude play I was like “Yep he’s going to the league”. Good job Rui!
Oh my gosh I love his story so much and love the people and culture of Japan the way they speak is just so beautiful and respectful much love Rui and all my Japanese folks🎉
That was really good, appreciated that story
Great addition to the Lakers! Whole Japan will back the Lakers now.
ありがとう八村！
これからも応援してます！
def a fan of his now!! He has been sooo consistent in this post season. lakers wouldnt be where they are now in the playofffs without his contributions
ハチムラくんアジアの誇りでしかない。
今まで以上これからももっと進化していくことを祈ってます。ありがとう🙏
I love this! Right on brother!
So far,, I saw Hachimura, a good role player, defensively and especially offensively, he can be a perfect piece on any team
inspiring... what a great game vs memphis today..
🥺 I love Japan
What a legend
Awesome Rui!!!
He's a real life Slam Dunk character
And now he is one of the key player in lakers❤
Mad respect for my man Rui. 😤🔥
What a voice, impressive young man.
Rui the GOAT frfr🙏🏽
please more of this
Rui , you are japanese dream.
I believe in you , from Japan :)
八村カッコ良すぎる😢
Such an epic story
one of my favourite player right now
He’s doing great now in the playoffs. I hope the Lakers re-sign him.
What a cool story! Go Rui! Go Lakers!
This should be a "The Basketball Kid" film. The coach was like Mr. Miyagi and Hachimura is like Daniel LaRusso.
I’m really happy to watch this Japanese video in NBA official TH-cam channel😢😢
日本からドラフト一巡目はマジでヤバイ。頑張れ
We ❤ Rui and are grateful he is a Laker.
I'm officially a fan! Side note shout out to basketball and bridging the world. Go get em samurai
Great video and great message from Hachimura. Let's go Lakers
Cant wait to see you at lakeshow
Let's go Rui
From the day he was drafted, I always paid attention to him because he was japanese😂 an Asian like me. And as I watched his game, I realised he had great potential but just on a wrong team. So happy to see him working out for the lakers
Great segment 👏 on Rui
Japan is sooo beautiful.
Rui 17 points in the first half of game 3 of the WCF. What a beast
八村‼️
もっともっと突き進んでほしい‼️
日本の誇り🇯🇵✨
inspirational ..
WELCOME TO THE LAKERS RUI!!
Rui's the first player to get his own shoe without being an all star
He has the voice of an antagonist character in anime! Lol!! So happy for him and his story is great. Best wishes with the lakers bro!
In Japan he is a star but she is a humble kid because well educated he can play everywhere on the court physically strong so coaches must trust him in NBA because he's so versatile if he can get a ring I will be happy good trip for NBA finals kid
Rui is an inspiration and icon in his home country. Being in the L.A spotlight gives him way more exposure as opposed to being in the nation's capital.
What an awesome story! Can't wait to see the documentary on Rui becoming the first Japanese Basketball player to win 5 NBA RINGS with the Lakers! haha LETSGOOOO!
He'll get his first this year!
This dude needs to become a voice actor after he retires
日本の誇り🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
