Minifigures – basketball players (LEGO Alternative)

various basketball players and figures associated with the sport, some of whom appear to be inspired by characters from the popular basketball-themed manga and anime series Slam Dunk, given the “SHOHOKU” text on some jerseys and the general appearance of several characters.

Here’s a description of the figures in English, from left to right:

Top row:

1. A basketball player with brown hair, in a red “SHOHOKU” jersey with the number “10.” (Resembles Hanamichi Sakuragi from Slam Dunk).
2. A basketball player with black hair and a mustache, in a red “SHOHOKU” jersey with the number “4.” (Resembles Takenori Akagi from Slam Dunk).
3. A basketball player with brown hair, in a red “SHOHOKU” jersey with the number “7.” (Resembles Ryota Miyagi from Slam Dunk).
4. A basketball player with slicked-back black hair, in a red “SHOHOKU” jersey with the number “11.” (Resembles Kaede Rukawa from Slam Dunk).

Middle row:

1. A basketball player with spiky black hair, in a red “SHOHOKU” jersey with the number “14.” (Resembles Hisashi Mitsui from Slam Dunk).
2. A basketball player with brown hair, in a white jersey with black trim and Japanese text (possibly “山王工業” – Sannoh Kogyo, a rival team in Slam Dunk).
3. A basketball player with brown hair, in a white jersey with black trim and Japanese text (Sannoh Kogyo).
4. A basketball player with spiky brown hair, in a white jersey with black trim and Japanese text (Sannoh Kogyo).

Bottom row:

1. A basketball player with brown hair, in a white jersey with black trim and Japanese text (Sannoh Kogyo).
2. A female figure (possibly a team manager or supporter) with short black hair, wearing a white “SHOHOKU” tank top with the number “10” over a red undershirt, and white shorts with red stripes. (Resembles Haruko Akagi from Slam Dunk).
3. A basketball player (male) with blonde hair, in a red Adidas-branded tank top and blue shorts. (This figure appears to be a generic player or inspired by a different source).
4. A female figure with long brown hair, wearing a blue and red outfit with a bowtie, resembling a cheerleader or a character in a school uniform.

Collectively, they are a set of twelve basketball-themed minifigures, with many clearly inspired by characters and teams from the Slam Dunk series, along with a generic player and a female supporter/cheerleader type.
