Both anime feature a more realistic style of basketball. In Slam Dunk the main character is a delinquent. In Ahiru no Sora, most of the characters are delinquents.
Both of these are sports anime revolving around basketball to begin with, but once you watch Ahiru No Sora you will see that like Slam Dunk it isn't just some ordinary sports anime where the only premise is just that sport. This anime really shows how sports can change people lives around for the better, and teach them many life lessons as well.
Both deals with a realistic take on basketball and how to deal with each of their own weaknesses in order to be a better player and a better team.
The temper of the main characters are very similar, and the drawing in these anime is similar, despite the difference in release in 20 years.
The basketball games themselves are also very similar in emotional terms..
Both anime explore the slice of life aspect of playing basketball at highschool with Ahiru no Sora clearly being inspired by Slam Dunk (directly referenced). Nevertheless, both anime are masterpieces in terms of story and execution and would capture the hearts of anyone who plays the sport themselves.

also basketball themed, this one also shares the "delinquent" aspect and like ahiru no sora has more personal themed issues outside of the well built sport aspect. All three of these see the mc and their team develop and try to win the national tournament
