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.
