This gets my new vote for the most ridiculous sports manga ever, not because it exaggerates too much but because it underexaggerates too much. The premise of the story is that you got the power ranger basketball players (their names are all named after a color), with Kuroko being the black ranger and so on. During the flashback scene we learned that in the middle school the power rangers all used to be on the same team, and in the Japanese middle school finals they were up 111-9, while the other team's captian is a close friend of Kuroko and told his guys not to give up because there's still time to diagram a 102 point play in the last 20 seconds (this guy has a promising career as an NBA coach). The opposing team tried a shot but missed and the purple ranger dunked the ball in for them, resulting the score to be 111-11, and then it turned out it was yellow ranger's idea to rig the score and opposing team went through the generic "NOOOOOOOO THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE" routine.
Now, the power ranger team have guys who can make a 3 pointer across the court 100% of the time (green ranger) and a guy who can stop time (red ranger), while their opponent is just 5 ordinary Japanese middle schoolers. It'd be like 5 of us played a game against Michael Jordan in his prime and actually expecting to score at some point, and each of the power ranger guys are probably considerably better than Michael Jordan. For example the purple ranger is a defense specialist and can easily hold the enemy TEAM to 0 points when he's serious. I mean the Dream Team can probably get this kind of score against the weaker NATIONS and I'm pretty sure Japan doesn't even make it to the olympics basketball level, and the power ranger team will certainly smoke the Dream Team, and yet their opponents are surprised by the fact that the power rangers can manipulate the score however they want?
