Yuki what a baller!!! Basketball is so much more fun to watch when there is actual passing and skill involved. Too many NBA players just rely on height and strength
lol honestly yuki getting so much hype and media that i dont even mind it, def way better than all the bronny stuff. Yuki is just a good type of fresh air, pretty sure all the 5ft to 5'10 dudes that ball love him
Yuki is a beast for sure. I think he dropped 30 on france in the olympics. Actually almost beat france but refs called a bs foul on yuki that took it into ot.
Bronny's a nepo hire who wouldnt even be in the G League were it not fot Daddy Yuki is so much better to hope for. An Asian under 6 ft hooping well is amazing @@droptopp3479
yuki is so fun to watch❤ we all know what he is capable of doing, we have seen that in the olympic and Summer League, and now the NBA. He is the type of player only plays for 3 mins but still got 2 highlights.
Yeah, because he is bored with non-highlight plays. Yuki wants to put fun back in basketball. CP3 still has a lot to learn and should watch how Yuki does them.
How can u not love him? If he was just a little taller with the same skillset and agility he would be a very big problem in the nba sadly hes not tall but dawn hes the asian proud after yaoming
I can tell the team and media trying to egg on Yuki to be more expressive, but he’s genuinely just a humble guy who is focused purely on ballin without expecting attention
He should get more playing time in the league, Yuki Kawamura. He's a fan favorite in Memphis. Being the fourth Japanese born player to play in the NBA joining Yuta Tabuse, Yuta Watanabe, and Rui Hachimura. He'll be the next biggest Asian sensation since Linsanity.
@@skimy3overhyped? I don't think so, you don't see those dimes too often these days, and also last WC and Olympics he was balling with Japan, that's why he was drafted
I'm really convinced this kid's court awareness is top 10 in the league already. Even the flashiest pass is completely under control. I really hope he sticks around.
He definitely has the skills and talent to go on a Linsanity run if the opportunity ever presents itself. People don't realize he's more than a 5'8" spectacle.
It's tough because Pippen is also a master of his craft. Not flashy but still effective. But it's great to have both players on call whenever Morant is out or needs substitution. Grizzlies has the pieces now, it's up to the coach to not mess this up.
JJJ with a season high, scottie pippen with his first triple double, jaylen wells with goat defense on poole, yuki scored a 3 pointer. Oh yeah, life is good rn GO GRIZZ
this is really inspiring, him making it to the nba and playing actual games and getting some baskets and highlights is amazing. i cant imagine how a guy just a few cm taller than me is getting mins in the nba, yes, not much, but the fact that he made it is unbelievable.
@@GeronimoBraveheart Because most of us have to do it by ourselves so we find stories of people like us who make it more compelling and worthy of respect. Every decision you make in your life is the result of a comparison anyway...
@desiolle2874 Do you compare yourself to Donald Trump? How are you going to compare yourself to people that have achieved greatness and have a family legacy. Once you create your own legacy then maybe you might be able to pass it down to your own children ...until then, you can't hate on other people for doing better in life than you....
@@GeronimoBraveheart Two stories ... I like one story more than the other for my own reasons and opinions which I can certainly compare them if I want to and articulate which one I like better.

People have their favorites for their reason, and that certainly doesn't offend me :) I am not hating on the Lebron family ... I am firstly comparing basketball skills .. Yuki is far better and I would rather sign Yuki to more money than I would Broony; secondly, I truly believe Bronny could have been a better basketball player if he had not been promoted so much by LBJ and rushed into the NBA. The Lebron side-show is not as exciting as watching Yuki.
@dnice4441 Nobody cares though... I'm still going to support both of them regardless. It's not a comparison thing. That's not what it's about at all...
I love how the crowd and the team appreciate him so much
imagine if Him and Ben Simmons switched bodies
Last night, my GF completely failed to understand my excitement for the 5'8" Japanese NBA player. Some things simply _demand_ respect.
@@Johnny-rj9on insists upon itself
Hopefully, NOT TOO MUCH, they will throw him out of the NBA like Jeremy Lin.
I don’t😒
To be 5'8 and make it to the league is something i don't think most people realize how astonishing that is.
Not that hard to be fair, you just need to have talent and heart.
@@akritasdigenis4831 not that hard… right…
@@akritasdigenis4831😂
@@akritasdigenis4831He’s the only 5’8 player in the nba

Roof would’ve exploded if he hit the second 3
Bruh I was coming to say the same thing lol

My house would of exploded🤣🤣
I dead ass yelled PLEASE when he shot it then said NOO when he missed 😂😂
he should’ve took his time a bit cos no one was coming to block him but nevertheless that step back 3 was already FIRE🔥🔥 subrashii omae wa Yuki!
Why is there four grizzlies and A DAWG on the court
yo shout out to rdc1
lmaooo
😂😂😂
Im taking yuki kawamura over dlo any day of the week bro
Thats a cub.
Yuki is the reason i watch grizzlies. Love the crowd reaction for him, theyre me for real hahaha
me too bro
Scottie pippen for me
He played for 5 minutes today. So u watched for 5 minutes?
If he was a regular I would watch them but he plays for very few minutes
@inceldetector6148 😂 this was a comment I was looking for. So basically you don't watch basketball at all right?
Yuki saved my life and let me drive his lambo
And mine too
same
Sorry to hear that
In what way?
He also helped me by paying my tuition fee in college, thanks my brother yuki
yuki represents all of us short kings
Dude is well within average height smh lol
and asian hoopers
I'm 5'1 what that make me? 😭
@@jamrollz Maybe in Japan, but in NA and Euro it's definitely slightly below average.
5'9" is average height in japan in this generation though.
I love how the entire nba community has seemingly come together because of this guy
Not the entire and its okay to not be a part of it
@@D-qftc6 yea it is the entire nba lol
THE GOAT! love yuki, glad he’s getting PT
Yuki what a baller!!! Basketball is so much more fun to watch when there is actual passing and skill involved. Too many NBA players just rely on height and strength
If he starts getting more consistent minutes he's going to be the most popular player in the NBA. He's already close. 5'8 he's all skill and IQ

Yuki and Huff were fantastic additions. 🐻
Honestly, Huff has been wasted by the Nuggets last season. They could've won the chip if they let him play. Glad to see finally getting minutes.
@@DonKey496Huff can definitely play. I wonder why teams didn't use him.
Huff is a top 3 backup center change my mind
@@DonKey496 They couldn't, they have a Serbian freak who plays every game and like 80% of every quarter 😂
Bro, Yuki's got the whole vibe! The crowd loves him because he’s real, and you can totally feel that connection.
If you watched him playing for Japan in the Olympics, you knew this short man has a huge soul, he definitely earned his place in the NBA.
Yuki is truly special man. How can you not root for that dude?
bringing tears to my eyes 🥹
Watched every game of Japan over the summer and became a fan of this dude immediately. Ecstatic he’s in the league!
Was he the best player on the Japanese team?
@ I would say most important and/or impactful but best probably should go to Rui or Yuta.
0:30 Even the dunker was like, “sssshhhh what a pass bruh😂✌️”
The processing of Yuki on the developing play is AI level. Even Edey was caught processing it after Huff already got the ball.
He is very confident. He is loved by the entire Grizzly community.
How can u not love him? If he was just a little taller with the same skillset and agility he would be a very big problem in the nba sadly hes not tall but dawn hes the asian proud after yaoming
Idc I love Yuki, he's so fun to watch! Hope he has nothing but success.
Yuki the magician!! Makes a play appear out of no where
If Huff wasn't there, Edey would be the 2nd option. It's a dynamic play.
Love me some Yuki! Haven’t felt this hype since Linsanity!
Calm down
Bro getting it sticky all over the place
@@AtmSmackaI am
Bro cuz they're both Asian?😂
Yuki is cool but Linsanity was a different level. Lin was averaging 30+ a game 😅
give him more time, damn. This guy can bring entertainment to the game.
If he hit that second one, holy shit that entire arena would’ve erupted 🤣
that boy yuki gonna become a household name
The Kawamura Dagger
i aint a grizz fan really, but i love this dude
I can tell the team and media trying to egg on Yuki to be more expressive, but he’s genuinely just a humble guy who is focused purely on ballin without expecting attention
That man has been sooo fun to watch pass the ball…court vision is nasty! 🙌🏼👏🏼
Yuki is so good for NBA. All teams should have a fan favorite they can relate to.
그 짧은 순간에 대단하네.. 더더욱 활약해서 출전시간이 길어지길 바랍니다
韓国の選手もたくさんいい選手がいるのを知っています。アジアが次のレベルに行けることを願っています。
Imagine if that 2nd 3 went in. 😮

You didn’t write this comment with either. Smh.
Yoooo I laughed way to hard at that 😂

Grizzlies are must watch tv with yuki and ja
He definitely has the skills and talent to go on a Linsanity run if the opportunity ever presents itself. People don't realize he's more than a 5'8" spectacle.
Him and Jay Huff are an awesome combo
We all love the little guys ☺️
He can do so much than that, dude was the mvp of their leauge before heading to the nba
Yuki and Huff lowkey got a lot of highlights together
Bro was going crazy in the Olympics
Smallest man in the court & league but has the biggest heart & IQ
Give Yuki more minutes!!!!

@@bigradwolf5001I was surprised how deep memphis is. If yuki was playing in portland or detroit he could probably make the 8 man rotation.
Yuki saving the old good basketball showtime
I ❤ yuki...so good...reason i follow Memphis
If he hit that 2nd 3ptr the roof of that place literally would have went flying lol 😅😂
Memphis is my new favorite team. FIRE! 🔥
they iight
Love that he didn't hesitate to try for a second three in this situation. He's calm but courageous 🥶🥵
河村選手は、攻撃面でも積極的です！ぜひ、日本のパリオリンピックやFIFAワールドカップの映像を見てみてください！小さい事を忘れるぐらい攻めています！！
Yuki should get be getting a Shogun helmet like Shohei 👺
Glad he is getting his time to shine 👍
Get this guy more minutes
Yuki went nuts.. Memphis Hustle GLeague games are gonna be sold out
Facts 😂😂
Fr, if he at least gets 6th man minutes, I'm all for watching them
@@lexavul his def going to a starter on a g league team with his passing ability.
@@icyboy771z Yea I'm very hopeful about that. Also, would you happen to know some cool sites I can watch g league games in
Nah bro🤣
Literally an underdog. 5 foot 8 inches and Asian in the NBA. His story is basically telling everyone to follow their dreams. That’s why he’s loved.
So nice to see players that don't flex... just do his job and carry on.
Este Yuki deberia de tener mas minutos... demuestra excelente control del balon y una vision endemoniada de la pista
Go Yuki! That pass was Nasty 🤢!!!;!🎉🎉😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I dont care if its a blowout, but that was the pass of the year so far!
Pass of the Year!!! So far in the NBA 👀
So he owns Passes of the Year on both regular and preseason.
JJJ with a season high, scottie pippen with his first triple double, jaylen wells with goat defense on poole, yuki scored a 3 pointer. Oh yeah, life is good rn GO GRIZZ
Great recap. The only one missing is Laravia snagging the ball out of referee's hands after the game to have it signed and presented to Yuki.
Just give him the chance to be in the line up and make him play huge minutes. He’s gonna deliver.
Othani and now Yuki. Japan got some crazy talent
Naoya Inoue
Yamamoto, and now maybe sasaki.. 👏🏽

I remember Jason Williams on his behind the back pass. So i will call him Japanese white chocolate. 😂
that was a brilliant pass. great 3 pointer too
Brilliant player!!
The Grizzlies look great, with Kawamura, at point guard, insane assists, and step back three's
Bro is 5'8 playing in the nba 🤧🤧
average height of Japanese adult man
And you may be 6-foot watching him in the best league that you wish you were in. That's sad. 🤧
This guy is a magcian when it comes to dishing the ball 🔥
He needs 15-20 min a night . He is that good
Man we're just witnessing Linsanity 2.0 in the making ❤️🔥
He is just too good
Yuki Muto, King of Games sent Wizards to the Shadow Realm ❤
The real life Miyagi Ryota from Slam Dunk or Kuroko Tetsuya from Kuroko no Basuke.
That's the Portland crowd for ya!!
Yuki is insane!!!!
I watched a game with Grizzlies and the crowd literally chanted "We want Yuki"
0:42 that must have been the tallest screens Yuki has ever had.
I am a Warriors fan, but I am really rooting for this guy... that is until my team has to play him of course! Go Yuki!
Kawamura no Basuke 🏀🔥

Yuki saved a elderly woman out a burning building in my neighborhood 🔥👨🚒🙏🏾
Just gimme Yuki for a full Quarter to let him cook at least. thats all I'm asking Grizzles
Damn, he knew if that second 3 points go in the stadium will goes crazy!!!
Yuki‼️
That was so smooth!!
