When facing a heavy-handed defender, he’d blown past them in seconds with his explosive first step.

In a sense, Kuroko wasn’t wrong.
Most people do fall in love with basketball because of pure passion.
The joy of movement. The thrill of the shot. The sound of sneakers on polished wood.
But that kind of innocent love doesn’t always survive the real world.

Usagi hadn't expected to be assigned to such a lost cause.
Most system hosts were wide-eyed dreamers, full of ambition and resolve. This one? This guy?
All he cared about was chasing girls and stacking cash.
