Rui Hachimura Is Ready to Make History for Japan in the N.B.A.


The New York Times  (article)
Rui Hachimura Is Ready to Make History for Japan in the N.B.A.
Summary
Super historical news has come to Japan. Japanese people are small thus selecting N.B.A was impossible, though, this time, Rui Hachimura became the first Japanese player ever selected. Hs is 6.8 feet tall, that means over 2 meters!!  The interviewer tells us that not only he is tall but also he is very very talented player and have a great jumping power.

There must be many Japanese people who don’t have an interest in basketball, who don’t know a lot of black and half-Japanese, and, I don’t want to say, who don’t know that there is discrimination in Japan.

Writing about that makes me a little bit sad, though, I saw his Japanese pride by putting a pin on his suits and with overcoming those, he, Rui Hachimura,  must be a more great player. Japan and the World are cheering for him.
