Throughout the 21st century, J.R. Sakuragi has been one of the most prominent names in Japan men¡¯s basketball.
Formerly known as J.R. Henderson, the ex-UCLA standout and NBA player, made his debut with the Aisin SeaHorses in 2001. And he¡¯s still going strong for the team now called the SeaHorses Mikawa.
Sakuragi, who turns 40 on Sunday, had team-best totals in points (18) and rebounds (15) in Mikawa¡¯s 75-64 victory on Saturday over the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins in Komaki, Aichi Prefecture.
