A 2nd try is worth a try

If you haven't read this one, I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend it!

Idk much about how popular it is, but it does have it's own anime if you don't wanna bother reading it lol (though if you wanna see the end you'd still have to read it). It just ended recently so have fun!

Though imo the first act is pretty hard to get through but I swear it's so worth it.

when i was watching it back then, it didn't seem too popular/not many knew of it (tho im not too sure how similar it is to the 2 you gave):

uhm this is a manhwa and idk if this is a popular manhwa but i want to recom u with this, i hope u like it, some people dont like it i guess bcs of some of annoying charas or idk idc :’ i love the mc so much lolol https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/perfect_gold/

plus it's one of the more "realistic" basketball manga compared to kuroko no basketball

Thank u! I hope I'll find some time to read this, don't worry! Those 2 are just examples that made me for the next chapter. The sport doesn't matter really lol

I have watched the Anime before, it made my heart race a lot! Super fun and exciting. Even though I have read it already. Thanks for a good recommendation! Other people can always check this reply and check out this golden story! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I wouldn't say popular either lol, I've only read around 2 chapters of it. Thank u very much! I don't remember much, so I'll make sure to check it out again! Since the last time I read this story was like 8 months ago lol (づ￣ ³￣)づ

I see I see (⊙…⊙ )

I'll find a good time to read it! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

yeahhh hope you'll have fun reading it~~~~ ヾ(☆▽☆)

This is easily one of my favorite sports manga and tbh maybe even one of my favorite manga of all time, it's such a gem

If you want manhwa try "The Boxer"

Thanks! I'll find a time to read it (=・ω・=)

Thanks for the manga recs! But like I said in my comment I didn't want to be recommended popular stories like the boxer since I've already read them #－.－)

Still, thanks for the recs (=・ω・=)

I haven't read them yet but they look good maybe you find sth you like
