Hanamichi Sakuragi, an entering Shohoku high school freshman holds a record for being rejected by 50 girls during middle school. His nearly 2 meters height and bright red hair causes most students to write him off as a delinquent. One day, a girl nam…ed Haruko Akagi approaches Hanamichi without any fear. When she asks Hanamichi: "do you like basketball?" Hanamichi falls head over heels for the girl of his dreams. Without missing a beat, Hanamichi tells her he loves basketball, and the two head to the gymnasium where Hanamichi learns about the slam dunk. He also learns of Rukawa, one of the country’s top basketball prospects, also a freshman at Shohoku.

You should watch it for Sakuragi, his humor and some matches that make it very enjoyable to see him go from showing off without knowing how to dribble to truly caring for the team.
It's a good fit if you're looking for basketball, comedy, and classic sports growth.
What separates it from other sports anime is that Sakuragi begins by flirting, not by passion for basketball; his enormous physique does not prevent him from learning rebounds, fouls and fundamentals from scratch.
