A point guard that really looks to find players and set them up is refreshing. Solid signing. Hope to see Yuki and Zach succeed. Memphis is looking good
I don't wanna say the anime thing just cause Japanese. But his play style defense and court vision reminds me a lot of Akashi from Kuroko. Similar height too. But I doubt he can dunk tho lol
Yuki and Jay Huff have a good dynamic going. That pass when Huff was underneath the basket with a reverse layup was a beautiful thing. to watch. Nothing more disarmingly selfless than a point guard in his truest form. The idea that at every turn your objective is to turn your shooting teamate into a human highlight real (when you in fact are doing the trick) is something to be in awe of. And he's five freakin' eight!
Kawamura is so refreshing to watch as a pass first point guard. That’s rare to find these days since guards want to be scorers all around. Yuki gives me a lot of Jason Williams and Rajon Rondo. Lots of great no looks with an insane pass IQ, and he seems to carry himself really well considering what he did for team Japan in the Olympics almost beating France. Whatever the Grizzlies do with him, there’s a bright future and Ja can compliment his game really well if they can both make it work on the court. Eddy with Yuki is gonna be fun to watch for Memphis
2:23 is insane, drawing two defenders and a third from the wing with a no look pass, rooting for him to go insane and drop 52 points like IT on the Celtics
damn this is so sick to see, will def be watching more griz games with yuki playing going forward 100%, like watching IT when he was torching everyone before the hip injury.
Mavs fan here who just heard of this guy. As a fan of the game though, love seeing these beautiful passes from the PG position. Wishing him luck in his career.
Is a hell of challenge to be in the NBA with his size so that's already an accomplish, great for him. He reminds me a lot a Suns Steve Nash, always setting up for the teammates, and yes he can play. You can see also his Japanese culture, not arrogant or not shimmy, just go back to defense once he get a good assist or bucket.
As a smaller baller for a short period, I also excelled at passing and positioning and making sure I had my eyes open for movement and letting the more skilled players shine by being a wild defender while also looking for angles and passes most people wouldn’t attempt
Lakers, this guy is who you need so your superstars don't get injured. He makes everyone else have easy buckets. Lebron, make it happen man. Center AD, PF Rui, SF Knecht, SG Lebron, PG Kawamura. Sub him out on defense, when he's up against a shooter like Steph. If it's a guard that drives, like Westbrook, leave him in. 🙏

His passes are crazy. That ain't Magic Johnson, that's Magic John-san
Hes kuroko from kuroko no basuke lol the anime
I'm Japanese this made me laugh so hard thank you!
i see what you did there
😂💪😂💪😂
He is Magic John Stockton.
Refreshing to watch a pure point gaurd again. It’s becoming a lost art.
So is spelling apparently!!! Lol😂
@@phyllisskeens8416 what I misspell?
@@peaceroolzguard
@@xtlbx ah, my bad
Couldn’t agree more !
His playstyle and the way he controls the court makes him so fun to watch , and man i just wanna see more of Yuki Kawamura!
Like kuroko no basket😂 anime
Watch kuroko no basuke, the main character is just like Yuki kawamura
yuki " i told you he can play" kawamura
yuki "ooohhh..did you see that pass" kawamura
Yuki "He belongs in the league" Kawamura
Yuki “really 5 7??” Kawamura
announcer said that like six times
@@calebk8518I thought I was the only one that noticed he said that more than 3 times 😂😂
He plays like he's been with the team for a long time, but it's incredible that they've only been playing together for a few weeks.
He is an asset for the team. This is a kind of a player you always want to be in a team. Very unselfish player.
As a pass first guard… I really love this guys game
A point guard that really looks to find players and set them up is refreshing. Solid signing. Hope to see Yuki and Zach succeed. Memphis is looking good
You do know Zach plays for Grizzlies while Yuki plays for Hustle?
@bigradwolf5001 He signed a 2 way contract with the Grizzlies and will able to play up to 50 games with the team
This is good news for all short basketball players around the world.
Not really, he’s good offensively. But honestly what can he do defensively?
for real im 5'7 30yrold, im going back out there and renewing my hopes to making big
@@pscrypto966😂😂😂
@@rwuh89 u must be blind and delusional that you can't see him play defense, with that height, he sure can play defense so well
@rwuh89 the same can be said about Steph Curry and Damian Lillard but no one complains about their defense.
The passes are insanely good that the plays the team make looks so flawless
what a point guard ! he is the only reason why I pay attention to the preseason .
I hope he can make noises in NBA. Basketball world needs him
Facts!
Yeah I agree 😊
Yuki is so fun to watch. Feels like watching anime with incredible assists.
I feel like it’s more like basketball than anime
Just like kuroko no basket right??
I don't wanna say the anime thing just cause Japanese. But his play style defense and court vision reminds me a lot of Akashi from Kuroko. Similar height too. But I doubt he can dunk tho lol
@@RobGradyVO oh I forgot he can make a basket like akashi does. He is really good tho
Keep that gay anime shit to yourself. Fuck outta here.

And he's five freakin' eight!
You knew what we wanted!
Lets gooo Yuki🙌🏼
Loooove this dudes game..❤ Them passes are beyond smooth and quick. Master vision 👀
He had great synergy with the team, great passer and great court awareness. Just have to be consistent with 3s.

He's absolutely amazing!!
Kuroko enters NBA 🔥
It's fun to watch players be underestimated because of their height and then blow people away. Reminds me of Muggsy Bogues.

When you're this short. You better be a genius or a freak
You just need be fast and precise
omg, he can play.
2:23 is insane, drawing two defenders and a third from the wing with a no look pass, rooting for him to go insane and drop 52 points like IT on the Celtics
5'8. Unbelievable. Incredible
Looks really good. Let's see if he has the longevity now and can do it when it really matters! Good luck to him!
I’m glad we got him!
We got Kuroko in the NBA before gta6
Professor Yuki. !!!
Looking forward to watching him in the regular season. He’s gonna catch a bunch of defenders sleepin !
the guy has the EAGLE EYE ability
he is so good with passing, he reminds me of kuroko tetsuya
😂
agreed
He is fun to watch
Short King is lightning fast and can drain those threes!!!!
They gonna make a manga about this guy
They already have an anime where the main character is similar to him "Kuroko no basuke"
damn this is so sick to see, will def be watching more griz games with yuki playing going forward 100%, like watching IT when he was torching everyone before the hip injury.
The reporter was clearing in the process of convincing himself:
im telling ya he can play x100
has the ability to get the pass off quickly - imrpoves timing. - improves diming
His 3 pointer is very dangerous. Also him being short makes him difficult to deal with when dribbling
He is everything!! Team player, Passes, and 3 pointers galore 😍 I love him so much! ❤ And he's a Papi~chulo, Ayyee Yuki-kun🫶🏽
Mavs fan here who just heard of this guy. As a fan of the game though, love seeing these beautiful passes from the PG position. Wishing him luck in his career.
KUROKO the 6th man
That mid-air no-look pass at the end though, so good. Always keeping defenders guessing.
He called him Lil Fellow. We are cheering for you, Lil Fellow! Go Yuki!!!
His teammates know to start moving when he penetrates, and they’ll get a nice look. That’s good for everybody.
Lets go , Im getting some of steve nash days back flash now. Pass first players... i hope we see more from him !
Is a hell of challenge to be in the NBA with his size so that's already an accomplish, great for him. He reminds me a lot a Suns Steve Nash, always setting up for the teammates, and yes he can play.

hes gonna go down as one of the best passers in history
He can make any teammate easy!
Future mvp most valuable petite asian
He's pretty normal for us average folks
If the NBA career doesn’t pan out he definitely has a future on a coaching staff. Dude is amazing.
the way this man is instantly on Defense after the shot -- locked. in.
I wana see him dribble through Wemby’s legs lol
Funny!!
パリオリンピックでフランスと対戦しましたので、機会があったら見てください😊
He already did during Olympics lol
He did during the Olympics 😂
@@24yeffinakawarjri24 I meant like fully run through his legs lol
He's good at pick and roll.
Kawamura-san is a real hooper!
Mane I’m loving this Yuki character lil dude can ball lol😂💪🏿
Not a single layup and only shoots when he needs to a true PG
Omg. I could play with players like him ANYDAY! I Most DEF will be watching buddy from now on 🔥💯
That last pass was STRAIGHT FIRE
This my new favorite player rn. Didn’t know about him till now
LET'S GO KAWA!!!
KUROKO IN REAL LIFE 🔥💪
him and jokic playing together would be the definition of telepathic plays 🫥
Team Yuki Kawamura😘
Things are coming together nicely! Maybe they’re developing great chemistry!
Pass so good I had to watch it again and again and again……2:48
His vision is next level!
yuki and huff great together
cold smooth and beautiful like SNOW
"Heart not height." - Mugsy Bogues
Unselfish player❤
Who number 30 he keep assisting the ball to. He can play to. The entire video it’s basically them 2.
its soo crazy when he is on the court
his all teammats
get so mannnny wipe open chances
"Did you see this guys pass?" Sometimes no, no I cannot see his passes, genuinely so good.
This guy is better than Morant already
Hell yeah!
This dude gave short people hope,lol
He’s a futuristic passer he knows where your gonna be at 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hes like a little wizard
How does he have such vision on the court? That’s crazy!
He can play?! No, he can pass.
Yuki is a true point guard…he’ll be an asset to the grizzly
As a smaller baller for a short period, I also excelled at passing and positioning and making sure I had my eyes open for movement and letting the more skilled players shine by being a wild defender while also looking for angles and passes most people wouldn’t attempt
we want yuki
日本の宝を特集してくれてありがとう🙏 いつも動画みています🙏
My new favorite player
looking forward for his performance in the G legue！
He passes the ball like Rockets CP3
“Nice pass by the little fella” is crazy
Oh man that 6 fiIT Man is a NBA GIANT
that's a amazing guy
love Kawamura .. this is basketball, not the BS of having a 7ft tall guy trying to play point guard and shooting three pointers
Reminds me of Steve Nash with his passing
He makes Huff play like a allstar
Him and Morant will be a good duo
Lakers, this guy is who you need so your superstars don't get injured.
He makes everyone else have easy buckets.
Lebron, make it happen man.
Center AD,
PF Rui,
SF Knecht,
SG Lebron,
PG Kawamura.
Sub him out on defense, when he's up against a shooter like Steph.
If it's a guard that drives, like Westbrook, leave him in.
🙏
I like his game a lot.
Balance + ball handling & dribbling skills + quickness + passing and vision + smartness = YUKI KAWAMURA 🇯🇵🏀
HEART over HEIGHT (and WINGSPAN)
