Kise on the surface

I seem more like Kise. I even have his earring and his personality. I can replicate any move easily which others spend hours to practice.

But i'm Aomine.

I have always been Aomine.

Like him, at one point i gave up on basketball. But it wasn't because i was so powerful that the sport became boring. Real life is more... realistic.

At one point, it is true that I was powerful. I was so powerful i couldn't pass. Even if it was a 2m 90kg speedy and strong foreigner guarding me i couldn't pass. Even if there were 2 or even 3 guarding me i couldn't pass.

I had natural speed and athleticism. I worked hard on my skills, harder than anyone else. I had every move in the book and i could execute all of them to perfection with precision. I was faster and taller and i could jump higher. It didn't make sense for me to pass the ball.

My body couldn't handle the stress and risk i was forcing upon it. I felt good for that period, but my body didn't.

I tore my ACL completely and had to undergo surgery and rehab for 9 straight months.

I'm not Aomine anymore.
