Tokyo Freestyle Basketball

Another spin on basketball. On our last trip to Japan we were able to meet up with Zinez and Kengo who are basketball freestylers. We spent the day filming and exploring Tokyo.

Its like Breakdancing + giant contact juggling, very cool!

[@kumakumafilms]

juhheli Hahaha I didn’t even think about the contact juggling but it totally is.

[@mrdm0bds]

When you max out ya nba street character

[@kumakumafilms]

Daniel Smith Hahaha! 😂

[@JailanSimon]

Then there’s me, struggling to dribble with my left hand 😂

[@kumakumafilms]

Jailan Simon then there’s me who struggles with dribbling with both hand hahaha.

[@saucybbaka]

When theres me, trying to like your comment but im to dumb to

[@kumakumafilms]

Hey everyone! We’re working on the behind the scenes for this video and we’ll have it out in the next week

[@kumakumafilms]

bhramy We hope you like it! 😄

[@saucybbaka]

I want more security memes!

[@BryTunesMusic]

so excited to see that!

[@kappa_feel]

When you’re a bboy that bballs

[@kumakumafilms]

Kappa Feel 😂

[@toliskipkay1296]

Kuma Films should be much more recognized. Change my mind!(I know you can't) The editing,the processing,the settings and the places where they record the videos,the music (basically everything) is awesome.Their job is very professional.They can make big movie companies cry with these type of videos.Its just a same they don't have over a million subs Yet!Hope you achieve it soon!

[@kumakumafilms]

Τόλης Κηπηρτίδης Thanks, we really appreciate all the love and support. We wish youtube was a bit better to channels like ours. Unfortunately KZbin isn’t a great platform for content like ours anymore and it’s getting harder and harder to sustain what we’re doing on this channel and keep making content like this. We’ll see how much longer we can realistically keep doing this. Hopefully we can keep the channel running for a bit longer.

[@kumakumafilms]

Sir2kills General2kills Hahaha Thanks! We love this review 😂

[@PJMasai]

Damn, a lot of the stuff you shoot I wouldn't believe if I didn't see it! Cheers from Italy!!! :)

[@kumakumafilms]

PJMasaiGG Hahaha dame here! We are constantly amazed by the things people we meet can do! Hi from Utah!

[@vaughndouglas8450]

I feel like I just received a year's worth of good luck from watching this. Absolutely mindblowing! love it!

[@kumakumafilms]

Vaughn Douglas Hahaha we hope you did! Thanks, you’re the best!

[@ProdZayy-hs2wd]

I LITERALLY BEEN WAITING TO SEE THESE

[@kumakumafilms]

Prod. Zayy Yes! Sorry to keep you waiting. Thanks for you patience. 😄

[@lettuce01]

This is great! Crazy good work. The video was crisp and dynamic, the performance was incredible and unique, even the music had me pumped up throughout. You guys never dissapoint

[@UseeSunred]

Love it !!

[@TruMaverick]

KUMA! Always showing the amazing side of the world! Thank you! TruMaverick

[@BryTunesMusic]

amazing moves, shots and editing! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@chocolatemoose7761]

It’s minor, but I really dig how you retain some of the audio from the shots themselves; it’s an awesome little touch. Great stuff!

[@kumakumafilms]

Chocolate Moose Thanks! We’re glad you noticed that little bit. Makes the extra effort worth it.

[@boltedcoffee2336]

Anime characters playing basketball be like:

[@llawliet3656]

Epic basketball spinning

[@StoicStimulation]

Imagine this guys free throw routine

[@kumakumafilms]

Yoyo Person Hahaha that would be so funny to see someone do something like this before every shot.

[@bluelion6609]

They should do this as a Basketball pre-match performance!

[@alabasterkros]

Next level Basketball! Great stuff! ✌

[@kumakumafilms]

Alabaster Kros Thanks homie!

[@SebastianAugust]

Never seen a ball dribble a human. Amazing!

[@kumakumafilms]

Sebastian 😂

[@saphirfelup874]

Nice flow with the transitions, impressive moves, if course, and I think the camera work tied into it very nicely. Overall a very satisfying and impressive watch.

[@Shadow-dw4yb]

Free basketball is just breathtaking 😱😱. I love it and your channel 🔥🔥🔥.

[@malopincemail9127]

So cool ! I really like the way you do your videos guys. I just enjoy the video without feeling bored by useless plans. Short and effective as always.

[@kumakumafilms]

Thanks! stoked you enjoy them

[@AshutoshSingh-wg5km]

Never stop creating you guys. Your videos are very soothing to watch. It's shame that your channel doesn't get recommended enough by yt.

[@diona6753]

All ur videos are great, but this one..damn this one my favorite hands down. Well done team incredible job as always

[@kumakumafilms]

Dion A Thanks man! We really appreciate all the love and support.

[@zzasserzz]

This is amazinggggg

[@isweartofuckinggod]

Now I need to see a full court of these guys. I know it would be ineffective and probably break several rules, but like, I'm sure you could come up with some alternate version of the game that allows & rewards this kind of movement. I would watch basketball every day if this is what it looked like.

[@the-engneer]

I've seen alot of basketball tricks, but most of these are completely original! Too cool

[@kumakumafilms]

The Engineer they have both have very original styles. They are a lot of fun to watch.

[@MadSkillsTV]

Good work as always @ Zinez and Kengo - The way you shot this video man.. Fiiire @ Kuma Films

[@kumakumafilms]

MadSkillsTV Thank you! Those guys killed it. We had a great time filming with them!

[@thumbsUP0071]

Спасибо за видео!

[@ziadkhayat7299]

Love that last bit, lol.

[@kumakumafilms]

Ziad Khayat Hahaha this was kind of a rough shoot. Got kicked out a ton on this one 😅

[@ziadkhayat7299]

Kuma Films you should make a compilation of getting kicked out of places.

[@AtHomeGamer]

i thought that transition at the beginning was dope. dope skills with dope editing make a good video

[@kumakumafilms]

Retro Skull Thank you so much! We love you too!

[@ejpmonline]

This video deserves to have a million of views as well as this channel... where are you ppl?

[@kumakumafilms]

Eric James Mantillo Thanks man! Hopefully one day. KZbin is just not a great place for channels like ours. It’s not really a sustainable platform for this kind of content anymore unfortunately.

[@MrEDMeaner]

It's like a mix of dance, martial arts and basketball. Very cool! (I'm amazed at how people are able to walk past a guy rolling around on the ground and pretend like they don't notice it!)

[@Flair20TV]

Kamikaze is so dope

[@kumakumafilms]

Flair20TV - Home of Freestyle Football Right?! Love his style!

[@pdmullgirl]
