We played basketball in the same gymnasium in the city where I live when we are high school students. Our school is in the same prefecture. I didn't know he will be an NBA player! I will continue to support Rui from Japan!! Let me apologize for my poor English😭
Rui gonna be a star in this league cause i dont think hes scared to take a game winning shot when he get the chance too...in my eyes RUI & ISAIAH should only take game winning shots for this team
Ethnically he is half Japanese and half Beninese. But he is a Japanese citizen who was brought up in Japan hence he is Japanese. I think you mixed up ethnicity and nationality there.
He kinda sounds like a black american guy when he speaks english. It is crazy because if you didn't look at his race but looked at his upbringing, he is literally japanese
X I think what you tried to say was you expected to see a full ethnically Japanese person, but he is a Japanese citizen who was brought up in Japan and would like to represent Japan. Therefore, he is an actual Japanese person/player. It’s a difficult concept I get it :)
@@dwayne2871 I expected to see a Japanese person, not a Japanese citizen. He's not "an actual Japanese person" - though I believe he has some Japanese admixture, as stated [parents?]
roro ke I know it’s sad how people can be discriminatory in racially homogeneous nations.. However, I think players like him can also educate those people and make them realize that it’s 2019 and population has been diversified. He has overcome those obstacles and now he wants to proudly represent his home country, Japan. Let’s try to focus on the positive impact here? :)
You’re stoopid! His mom is full Japanese. His dad is full black. His first language is Japanese. He first learned to speak English when he attended Gonzaga university.
Having African gene does help a lot for sure :) Although, nobody can really tell what part of his genetic contributed and what didn’t is unmeasurable unfortunately. However, what we are certain of is the fact that he worked hard to get to where he is now. Thanks to his former coaches and educators in Japan and Gonzaga. He proudly represents Japan and that’s all there is to it. Also, he is half Beninese.
Half Asian doesn't equal Asian. Japan is a homogenous society, mixed people are not Japanese. This ideology exists in all eastern asian countries, lol. Mixed people should be categorized as a special group.
It’s a difficult concept to comprehend for certain people. I get it. However, ethnicity and nationality are not necessarily the same thing. Yes. He is half Japanese and half Beninese, however, he is a Japanese citizen(nationality), therefore, he is Japanese. Also he would like to represent Japan and that’s all the matters here. An ethnically Chinese person can represent Brazil in the Olympic Games for example. It’s the same concept :)
@Tony Li I am just saying the truth. Sounds like someone is butthurt eh? If you have a chance to really live in these three eastern Asia countries, you will understand. Even Rui himself said he got discriminated a lot during his childhood in Japan. You might not believe how bad discrimination is in east Asia, maybe it is worse than southern states in the US.
Hachimura for Hokage.
Lol at 2:08 John Wall calls him Ruu Ruu LMAO 🤣🤣😂
LOL!
He is the 17th Hokage
He has that deep Asian accent voice speaking English, like Yao ; nice to see some Asian representation in the league again
I like his old school style, mid range, 1v1
Kelly i mean we all know which part of his genetics got him there 😂
@Kelly okay then
I hope to be the first Kazakh player in nba too, but first you have to move to USA
I mean I’m black and I love Japan so this boi connects with me
I’m so surprised he speak English fluently rn because just a few back years ago he only speaks Japanese
So proud of it !!!
Lol at 2:08 John Wall calls him Ruu Ruu?? Lmaoo 🤣🤣😂
Pink Alien yea since he was a freshman in HS
High character guy with huge potential... I’m sold on Rui!!
We played basketball in the same gymnasium in the city where I live when we are high school students.
Our school is in the same prefecture.
I didn't know he will be an NBA
player!
I will continue to support Rui from Japan!!
Let me apologize for my poor English😭

Rui is such a delightful person! I agree with Doc Rivers. Please do not compare him to Kawhi Leonard. Let Rui be his own person. I wish him well!
He even sounds like Kawhi
Rui is the second coming of Tim Duncan personality wise! He will be a HOF
ngl he gives me Kawhi or Giannis type vibes
i think he's more of a future kawhi 2.0
@@tediberusa2098 deffo
His body type and style reminds me of a Shawn Marion, with a better looking shot.
His laughter at 2.50 #Kawhi
八村選手は高校生の頃は英語が苦手だったそうですが、チームメイトとも喋れていますね。英語の勉強も頑張ったのですね。

They're all super young, they can handle some chicken
lol they are 20 year old rookies..
Go mind your business
Just watch you tube dude
No bro no chick fil a, you gotta eat complete healthy.....
So many Japanese discriminated him during his childhood.
And now all those Japanese are proud of him?
Ehh?
Or course, he’s an outsider. He proved that he was loyal to Japan and that he could do something great
And now he’s receiving support from his country
roro ke I know it’s sad how people can be discriminatory in racially homogeneous nations..

Good thing he's not speaking in "Engurish" (Japanese English)
He is not japanese lol, he is like Nigerian!
he is half Japanese
Doesn’t look like it tho. He kind of looks like Giannis do u agree?
His mom is japanese
You’re stoopid! His mom is full Japanese. His dad is full black. His first language is Japanese. He first learned to speak English when he attended Gonzaga university.
You think that way because you are Korean
Everyone knows the black genetics is carrying those Asian genes this far. Ain't no Japanese part of him that helped as much as the Nigerian genes.
Having African gene does help a lot for sure :) Although, nobody can really tell what part of his genetic contributed and what didn’t is unmeasurable unfortunately.

Dominic Wayne lmao shut your ass up. No Japanese player has made it here besides this half black kid. Simple as that. Put it in your head.
