Saw their league finals on tv while in Japan last week, Yokohama won. Anyway, the caliber of ball wasn't that great, fans were excited though but then in every sport they cheer like crazy, pound on the drums, wave banners etc. The only players with tats were the Americans and they were also the only frontline players. Japanese in the backcourt, USA up front. Didn't recognize any names on the final teams.
Does OU have any alums playing in Japan?
 
I know Byron Eaton played in Japan briefly (only because there was a story about him being in Japan during the tsunami), but I assume he doesn't play there anymore because he's very fat now.
