Toronto Raptors forward Yuta Watanabe ended up on the wrong end of a viral moment when Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards dunked on him during a game in February.
Photos and videos of Watanabe hopelessly coming up short in his attempt to stop the dunk made their way across social media, including the Instagram feed of actor and basketball fan Kevin Hart, who shared a photo of the dunk with his 100-million-plus followers, saying: “This defender has to be thrown out of the league immediately….there’s no coming back from this.”
But Watanabe is still here, and in his third NBA season he has captured the imagination of basketball fans in Japan, his home country, while earning a rotation spot with the Raptors.

As 19-year-old phenom Yuki Kawamura grew up, one of the NBA players he would frequently watch was Isiah Thomas.
Read carefully that’s former Detroit Pistons player Isiah Thomas, not the Isaiah Thomas known best for his two All-Star Game appearances in 2016 and 2017 while with the Boston Celtics.
Kawamura’s father raised him on a steady diet of NBA videos from before he was born, and he gravitated toward Thomas, one of the Pistons’ “Bad Boys” who regularly served as foils for the eventual six-time NBA champion Chicago Bulls.
“I loved Michael Jordan so much and when I’d watch him, the Pistons were the wall that the Bulls had to overcome,” Kawamura said. “And it was so much fun to watch and I would see (Thomas) play a lot.”
