The 5’8” Japanese Guard That Bullied Victor Wembanyama
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Despite the lack of size, Kawamura compensated for it by having the biggest heart in that match, and right from the opening tip, he let France and Wembanyama know as well as the rest of the Akatsuki Five - that they wouldn’t fold that easily.

the Paris Olympics is the worst one in recent years. The refs calls heavily favor France. If the USA team is not so much better than them, the ref could bring France a gold metal.
Gold is metal though
*medal
Buddy. understand, "Gold Metal" is an emotion.
absolutely drunk, american players especially james were buldozers in this match and fouls were adequate. Hopefully curry was there doing legit 3 pts from everywhere
This game was so clearly rigged to have France go on and to the finals for Wemby against Lebron and US😂
Before anyone says “they can’t do that”
Yes they can😂😂
Olympics is such a rigged event. You know they ejected hachimura because they wanted France, the home team, to win.
we have team USA to thank for ensuring that didn't happen :D
@@kenny2553 it’s not just in basketball, there were many political controversies through out the entire event. The western nations are really politically biased. Chinese athletes were targeted heavily throughout the event. It’s honestly disgusting, and they had us riled up about imane Khalif to realize the political bias. It was a good distraction and the world fell for it again.
Its the rules, its not a basketball play. Blame Rui
@@kenny2553the refs in USA vs France was insane to see, and I’m not even American! 😂 the amount of fouls called on America, but then when France we’re literally grabbing, running directly into offensive players, etc and only rarely got fouls called on them… it was pure insanity…
@@ivwvy Even with the paid refs from France they couldn't win.. Shows how pathetic and disgusting they are as a country.. 😂🤮
NIGHT NIGHT FRANCE, u wont be missed! 😂
Imo this opening ceremony and location for Olympics was by far the worst of all time. 10/10 laziness from France and disgusting concepts for this Olympics.
Much respect to this Japanese Guard!❤

@@xler3441 not sure if you're trolling with copypasta...but I'll consider it when I see churches in the US start offering rent for $1. The $ 1 rent they offer in the Spanish Catholic Church is the biggest convincing reason I have ever heard. In the US...those mega churches operating while their city is full of homeless...is the opposite of what Jesus was all about. In the US, I find it to be a place where people go to repent for the sins they are ABOUT to commit next week...how about I just avoid that altogether and have think things before, and have conviction in whatever you do? He might be somewhere else...definitely not in America, possibly a different solar system altogether. In fact, if he's real...it would be nice if he returns from vacation. This world could use a lot of healing right now. I'll join when I see enough to believe. I'll focus on me in the meantime.

Kawamura can definitely make it, he's got what it takes and has the skill and experience of playing against people bigger than him. Now it's down to what he does with his body because those NBA guys are no joke regarding their athleticism, but I believe he can make it. Let's go, Kawamura!
The final was supposed to be Japan vs USA
I understand your comment
Serbia vs USA
This isn’t baseball lmao
The Final ended up with 2 countries who have a lot of Black Men on their major team sports rosters. That's the thing France and USA have in common, despite the fact that Americans and french hate each other.
Germany vs. USA
As a Grizz fan, I really hope Yuki is able to prove himself enough to be able to secure a permanent spot on the roster
solid Ja backup fr
who needs him when u got Ja?
@@doubled5499 I only said permanent spot not starting spot Ja is still obviously better lol
Him becoming a solid off the bench player would still be alright with me, and if he turns out to still be pretty good, I’d be fine with the team using him for a trade where Yuki could potentially get into a better situation such as a team with more need of a point guard for a second unit or even just end of bench player
@@JUSTICESHALLBESERVED mb I misunderstood you, but tbh who needs him lol

@@Merrlinyea instant no for me once I realized it was ai voiced
A half black guy named Rui, a white guy called Hawkinson and a 5'8 star Kawamura. Japan 2024 was certainly the most unique team to reach these heights at the Olympics
Paris Olympics is the worst one in recent years imo, the refs heavily favor France. The final basketball should be USA VS Japan if something is right.
I disagree. France is the center of the world and has the best of everything. Better cuisine. Better looking people who are exotic. Better cars. better of everything. France deserves all the good things happening to them. I support France even though I am a Chinese girl from Hong Kong. I dream of marrying a beautiful White French Man. They are the best.

Thank you for the great video about Kawamura!! He is a great player that never gives up!!
Couldn't agree more!
Everything comes with commitment 🇺🇸 Believe in yourself,. Yuki is locked in hard bro fknn haaaaard!!!! 😎
That MF got skills...hell yes he can make it in the NBA.
Hell yea he’s already in the NBA
Giving me Ahiru no Sora and Slam Dunk vibes 😭👏
Facts
That's what I said. He's a real life Sora Kurumatani. Speedy, great passer, deadly 3 ball, and the heart to go along with it
Ahiru no sora
*Yuki Kawamura got his skills sets from the Generation of Miracles*
What makes Yuki such a good player is that he really knows what his abilities are and he's not going to try to do something that he can't do. Also, not many people have that insane court vision and passing ability, especially in a crowded paint area. This guy's passing is really reminiscent of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Jason Kidd. His passing skills almost feels like they come from a bygone era. And you can't really teach this ability, you have to be able to anticipate where your teammate is going to be or at least have such good communication and trust in them that they know where to go and when.
And I think what builds that trust is when you know the guy with the ball is going to pass to you, so I will then make the hard cut or I'll set the screen for the guy that will make the cut. Or I'll set the screen on the point guard, knowing that the pass will go to me, when I roll to the basket. For example, Karl Malone knows that when he sets a screen for John Stockton, and he rolls to the basket, Stockton will pass to him. If Malone didn't know he would get the pass, maybe he doesn't set that screen.
Bring this man to the NBA now
For real! Let’s get this guy on a team already! He’s got the moves!
he already got an exhibit-10 short contract
No, nba destroyed the career of Jeremy Lin. NBA will never let asian players be stars.
@@dschdsch4388 I agree with u, I’m just stating a fact that he would be playing in the nba in a shorterm of time under the contract
@@dschdsch4388 It's worse than that, look what they did to Isaiah Thomas who is an inch taller and stronger. The NBA would never respect him, no matter what he can do on offense.
Some people just thrive in the moment, he’s definitely a special player
This dude is for real.
He single-handedly putting an end to the height conversation and it's because of his clutch skills, quick footwork and otherworldly shooting.
Bring the guy to NBA lezz go
Heck yeah! Let’s get him in there and show them what he’s got! 🙌
I pray he never gets injured and he makes to the all star lineup 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He would do great in the NBA! Put him on!! Good for TV!
The Memphis Grizzlies have given Yuki Kawamura the option to make the jump to the NBA. The Japanese point guard, who has just surprised the world in the clash against France, has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Tennessee team, as announced by his current team the Yokohama B-Corsairs, which will give him the opportunity to remain linked to the league either from its roster or from the G League.
Kawamura did not bully Wenbanyama or any of the French players. He just played his game. He is a good man and a good athlete.
No asain males can bully a Black or White Man. Only Black and White can BULLy an asain male. Black and White are superior.
An actual anime main character move right there
Man, Nakamura and Nishida are like cyborgs. They so good at their respective sports. They make it look like Olympics is easy.
I would love to see him in the NBA !
He’s on the grizzlys
Bro proved that height ain’t a problem
We all know France lost that game smh just SICK, man
I didn't know Japan could play this well! Well done Japan!
Why is he lowkey violating this guy “pocket size guard”
Love fierce little guys who can just ball out.

”pocket sized guard"😭😭😭im dying😭😭😭😭
Why is japan getting good at so many sports rn omg
125M people, nearly 2x France's population and third richest country by GDP, if anything they're underperforming by getting less medals in total than French, Australian or British
Japanese people usually have very hard discipline on the emblems compared to many other countries.
But not to mention there’s hundreds of more basketball players all through Asia too, for example the phillipines country with the most basketball players over all.
Main difference is that Japan is one of the richest Asian countries, and facilities in other countries isn’t really spread, so is coaching as well.
They put steroids in sushi and dog fried rice.
that title alone is going viral lol.💯💯💯💯💯
He’s a pro level baller for sure.
He is super talented
I KNOW you didn't compare a Japanese point guard to a kamikaze
Agreed. Loved everything else in the video! Let’s be respectful to history and not use such references.

Check out the plays of other Yuhki in the Japan team too. Yuki Togashi. He's even shorter but equally a giant slayer. He's who Kawamura idolizes.
What a great video, I'ma study this player a lot, and also please cover the Suns🔥 Just subbed
Hands down the second best game i ever saw in my life, followed by usa-serbia semi final. I wonder if the fact both of the teams got robbed is a coincidence
Bro i lost it with the “kamikaze drive”😂
Why is that funny though?
Put some respect on Kawamura's name, honestly refreshing to see someone under 6 ft dominate.
the question of, 'Am I enough?' is at the center of this stage of life. When someone cannot answer that question with an honest and vulnerable mindset they can spiral into chaos. As a result of this chaotic mindset, they may in turn make decisions that are out of impulse and out of a need to cope or numb."
Crazy agility and precision and skills. Dude is a ninja.
Love from INDIA for JAPAN❤ ,
Thanks for the JAPAN building in Institute of Child health , egmore chennai ❤
could become next Isiah Thomas? and Kawamura has good passing skills.

Sub him out on defense, when he's up against a shooter like Steph.

Great video man
Glad you enjoyed
I really he gets a contract, his playmaking is on another level
Favoritism is a world problem and when people are united we fix the cronyism
The refs at Paris were CROOKED.
We know him from when he torched Lauri and Finland in the World Cup
this kaewamura give us nightmare from France !!!
and he is quite handsome
I'm a 5'7" Asian. I did the same thing in high school but my coach would never play me. I copied Jordan so I was a mid range shooter. They play 5 out now so I think I would be able to get to the basket easier n I would develop my 3 point shooting.
3:27 the ref was behind the french shooter when she made that call. Horrible call by her to just assume someone fouled when her view was blocked by the shooter.
その通りです
I sure hope the NBA is watching and give him a chance.
I'm a short guy, about Kawamura's size. Even us small guys try to hide our true height. What can I say? It's Kevin Durant's fault.
As for his success, small means you have to play smart and have all of the necessary skills to move the ball deftly. Since no one expects him to be effective, and if you want to know the truth, no big guy wants to guard a small one, for the shame of it and all of this moving, and running around chasing him and stuff. Big guys seem awkward and exposed.
To make up for his defense challenges, Kawamura needs to be aggressive in getting back. He needs to have anyone defending him keep up with him as a defensive strategy. His long ball shooting and his ability to penetrate will offset his defensive deficits to some degree. Thanks for allowing for my opinion.
He reminded me of a miniature version of B.Roy ....That's how good he played .... B.Roy with healthy knees would of annihilated and picked apart any team anytime
respecccttttt!!!!! The country of small giants 🔥🔥🔥 NBA gotta sign Kawamura
uhh what? Japan has sumo wrestlers and a lot of tall humans.
Exactly. These commentore have no idea that most Japanese men are at least 6 foot tall. I am in Japan right now. I saw a Japanese girl, looks like a model, that was 6’4” yesterday. And at least 10% of men during their long holiday last week that were 6’2” to 6’5”.

His plays similar with Jimmy Alapag of the Philippine Team. Alapag is monster in his prime. Unfortunately, he was old when the philippines qualified in Olympics
But Kawamura is more handsome. His skin is more fair and Japan overall is better than the Filipines.
Memphis elevated him to a two-way contract, he'll see real NBA time.
