Seiya Kanō

Seiya Kano is one of those guys who genuinely impresses me because he made it to Tsukuba University — which, if you know Japanese sports academia, is basically the MIT of athletic programs in the country — and kept grinding at basketball the whole way through. He doesn't splash around in the media much and a lot of his personal details are kept close to the chest, but honestly that kind of quietness can tell its own story. Some athletes do the work and let the court do the talking, and I get the sense Kano was exactly that type.
