I hope you are ready Zonji...
The more I seen KNB the more I realized that KNB is such BS in Basketball, especially Midorima full court shot and Akashi just being Akashi.
KNB isn't overly realistic absolutely.
But the GoM players are all based on actual players and you can find the similarities with them.
The GOAT Aomine is of course based on the GOAT Jordan
His unparalleled scoring ability, athleticism, and confidence are all similar to Jordan's.
Akashi, imo, is like a mixture of Iverson and Magic.
Deadly ankle breakers with perfect passing ability.
Kise is kind of a Lebron. Can do anything on the court, mimic styles, and all around game. Can add a bit of Kobe for scoring
Murasakibara is clearly Shaq. Immense physical abilities, dominant paint work and defense, all similar to Shaq.
Midorima is Klay Thompson.
