Slam Dunk was a sports manga that ran from 1990 through 1996 in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. Artist and writer Takehiko Inoue was told basketball wasn't popular in Japan but he was passionate about the sport and he overcame the odds to build his story into an unlikely hit. This video explores what Takehiko Inoue did with pacing and character growth to create what I argue is the best sports comic.
