1. Chapter 1

Prologue

For me there was nothing better than empty basketball gym. The ball to some people was just plain annoying. To some it was the sound of hope. That represented an escape to another world.

For me it wasn't an escape. Because Basketball was my life.

My name is Sakuragi Hanamichi and I am a Basketball Genius.

Although I have matured a lot since then.

It was my first time ever overseas. I had been staying at Georgetown University. After receiving offers from KU, UNLV and UCLA I felt that this was the best place for me.

It got lonely at times. As my limited English had kept me from making friends with some of the other students. Anime and Manga culture seemed to be big in the states as i had just noticed a girl walking with a Hunter X Hunter Gon key chain.

But I did enjoy the food and I could get used to all the beautiful women around.

Practice was a lot more intense than I had expected but for me I never missed a step as I knew why i was there.

Sawakita had gone to attend Kansas University and Rukuwa plays for Kentucky.

Maki has had it tough, Drafted late in the second round of the nba he struggling to keep a roster spot on the end of the bench. Those days of Shohoku versus Kainan would never had led me to believe Maki would be playing the underdog.

But that's just how it was here. From the richest parts of D.C. to the Ghettos. It was a constant fight for survival and a constant fight for success. You were either working because you were afraid to lose or working because you wanted nothing less but success.

I was I walked through the campus on this cold morning I couldn't help but think about the past legends that have played here. Allen Iverson, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo and Patrick Ewing. Georgetown dealt with a lot of players that were misfits, rough and physical.

This place fit me perfectly.

As I opened up the gym door, I surprisingly see somebody I never would have expected to see.

"Coach Scott, Why Is he here?!" I shouted.

"Ah Sakuragi, This is a new transfer and your new teammate. Nobunaga Kiyota"

" THE MONKEY FROM KAINAN IS BACK!"
