Basketball is by far my favorite sport but i'm down for anything. Is Slam Dunk any good? Does it hold up at all? I've heard good things about Yuri on Ice. Anyways, all suggestions are welcome.

Haikyuu and its not close
Ippo is great but its fighting so its a bit different. The manga is also better. Slam Dunk is a classic but again, go manga.
If you want something b ball related that LOLs in the face of realism, Kurokos Basket is worth a watch
For anime that is pretty good Yowamuahi Pedal hits some great highs, Area no Ace is a very serviceable baseball show.
Rookies is an unfinished baseball manga that makes for a great read but yeah, doesnt go super far
Actually in terms of manga, GIANT KILLING is a cut above the rest.

me too, its on my list after that sumo anime that came out a few months ago
Sweet, thanks for the news about Chihayafuru; I got scared about reading the manga since I'm dreading the ending otp.
I think there's a sizable fan base lurking in every shadow in Reseteraland recommending Run with the Wind like shady men might sell candy.
I default to headcanon pairings for anything I don't like, pretending that there's an alternate (correct) universe out there.
Another vote for haikyuu. I've been waiting for next season for so long. If you like mahjong, saki. I enjoy how it brings the superstitions and supernatural of mahjong to life.
I'm not that into sports anime and I absolutely loved Run with the Wind. Definitely one of my highlights in recent memory.
If basketball is your thing Kuroko's Basketball is mandatory. It's anime super basketball but it's hype.

the genre peaks with slam dunk and haikyuu
run with the wind, and hajime no ippo are decent too. kurokos basketball is alright too but a little bit too anime

The animation isnt anything to write home about at all, and doesnt live up to the manga's great art.
Slam Dunk. No question.
At all.
Even if you don't like basketball, the story is intensely emotional.

Nah...Slam Dunk is basically Naruto of sports anime. The dynamic between the main character and his rival isn't unlike Naruto-Sasuke.
Check out Eyeshield 21 manga OP. The anime is trash but the manga is amazing.
Exactly this! Slam Dunk has had a huge cultural impact.
Just look at recent draft pick Rui Hachimura!
Hanabado is a great girl based badminton anime with great animation and music, but be prepared for a lot of melodrama.
Baby Steps is the most realistic in that if you played tennis competitively it's the most relatable shit ever.
Haikyuu is very good in terms of characters and general hype.
