Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. J. R. Sakuragi, born Milton "J. R." Henderson, is a naturalized Japanese professional basketball player. Raised in Bakersfield, Sakuragi played college basketball at University of California, Los Angeles, and was a member of their 1995 National Championship team. He was named to the All-Pac-10 First Team during his sophomore and senior seasons, and averaged 14.2 points per game in his four-year career at the school. He was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the 2nd round of the 1998 NBA Draft where he played one season. In 2001, Sakuragi moved to Japan to play for the Aisin Seahorses of the JBL Super League, averaging 21.5 points and 11.6 rebounds per game in 2006. Sakuragi's application to become a Japanese citizen cleared on July 2, 2007, and he changed his name from J.R. Henderson to J.R. Sakuragi. He chose his new name for two reasons: firstly, he thought a Japanese name would speed up the naturalization, and secondly for the Japanese sakura cherry blossoms. It also corresponded to the name of Hanamichi Sakuragi, the protagonist of the popular basketball manga Slam Dunk.
