Maybe the best manga I've ever read. Inoue's ability to make you love what he loves is unparalleled. If you don't love basketball before reading this, you will at least understand what it is like to have a passion for something.

Every part of it is superb:
-The art is as expected from Inoue
-The action is well drawn and suited for the genre
-The comedy is genuine
-The story is emotive and captivating

The only thing that's a negative is having to wait for him to finish the work, but to put it a way that Nomiya would say, "This is not despair. This is joy!"
