I think its pretty cool of Oden to show his support for the title. Not many players do this.

I hope Oden is healthy I'm interested in seeing what he does in the NBA after missing his entire rookie year. If I remember right he was called something of a 'nerd or geek' because he liked to watch cartoons and sci-fi stuff so Viz made a good choice then.

I still wonder if sports anime can succeed at all. Even the great stuff is mostly niche over here.

It might depends of which sport it focus, Captain Tsubasa had done well in France (known there as "Olive & Tom"), Middle-East and Latin America. Eyeshield 21 could work also if it was properly promoted.

I wish to see a sport anime about hockey with Sidney Crosby promoting the anime

Sports manga does pretty well here, though.

I wonder how would a manga about golf go?
