My Hero Academia is teaming up with TOHO Animation, the National Basketball Association (NBA), NBALAB, HYPERFLY, and Crunchyroll to bring an exciting new collaboration to the world of basketball. The highly popular anime series, My Hero Academia, made waves earlier this year with Season 6, which marked the beginning of the Final Act based on Kohei Horikoshi's original manga.
