Both protagonists lift the spirit of their teammates, short and not one to be looked down upon. The other characters are also likable. There is comedy and a road to becoming the best (kind of obvious). 

At the first sight both are stories about a boy coming from country side to a bigger town with a wish joining to a high school team and make new friends. As well both main protagonist have a talent that gives them a special kind of aura of a talent. All they want is to get chance to play rugby/ basketball and get better in their chosen sports. Both boys are also small sized and seemingly not fitting to their beloved sports but that doesn't stop them from playing. Size doesn't matter that much. They believe that even though being a small one can do something to help their team and also enjoy doing it. read more 

They're the same. 

Same kind of a feeling even thou two different kind of sports. Both have same type of setting for being unknown school and second rated club/ or no club at all. There are also delinquents forming the the team and also known more as trouble makers than players.  

Both short MCs Both overcome "broken/rundown" clubs and revitalize them Both moms (hospitalized/sick) apologize about the MCs height, wishing for them to be taller so they can succeed in their respective sport, but the MCs turn it around and use it as their strength.  

Obviously both about basketball however that isn't really what makes them similar. Perhaps it is better to say they are the inverse of one another, in Ahiru no Sora the MC is a small, happy-go-lucky high schooler who sets out to make an official basketball club which until this point has been the den for a group of delinquents. Instead of Slam Dunk where a tall and highly athletic delinquent who has never played before joins a somewhat distinguished basketball team. The key difference would be that Ahiru no Sora has slightly more focus on Slice of Life elements, however it clearly is influenced by Slam Dunk (has a few references) and the games are very similar in style. read more 

They are like the same story, same theme, just a little different.. but only a little... :p both good sports anime 

Basketball, that's what these two series are about, they also deal with "new" players and school basketball teams which need to prove themselves against others. Through struggles here and there they manage to get through. Some characters are pretty similar, just as some matches and particular scenes. 

Both are about a main character who pursues their dreams and have faith in their own abilities.
