There was a time when humans dominated the game of basketball; but as the physically superior aliens came to the planet, the earthlings became obsolete. With the desire to regain their pride in the world of basketball, a millionaire (the founder of the league) gathered all of the best basketball players in the world to form an all-human team; and Hideyoshi, a street kid who makes a living hustling in basketball games, is one of them. With all of the obstacles and trials they have to face, will the humans finally be able to bring back the trophy to Earth?
This is the fantastically popular sports anime that single-handedly restarted the genre! It follows tensai basketman Sakuragi Hanamichi as he takes up basketball to impress a cute girl, and never walks free again. He may not be as good as he thinks he is, but he might just be good enough to help Shohoku to the national level… but then again, the competition has talent of their own, and an equal need to win. Don’t expect Sakuragi, or indeed Shohoku, to win them all.
Both Buzzer Beater and Slam Dunk deal with the world of basketball... but to be more accurate Buzzer Beater deals with the UNIVERSE of basketball - an intergalactic basketball league. If you've watched Slam Dunk and want something a bit more sci-fi that deals with basketball, Buzzer Beater is for you. On the contrary, if you've watched Buzzer Beater and are looking for a more realistic anime dealing with basketball, Slam Dunk is the anime for you. If you don't care whether or not it's realistic, you can watch both.

Join Aikawa as he journeys through competitions with the boys and girls basketball teams, throwing down baskets to all challengers, as they struggle towards the national tournament.
Well both anime are about basketball and trying your best all the time. I find DB and BB very simmiliar because of the atmosphere around them. They may not be an excellent watch but it sure is enjoyable. Try it and you will know what I mean.
