PoT and KnB can be considered somehow similar:
- both are shonen series of sports genre (despite PoT deals with tennis, while KnB deals with basketball)
- both are about good friendships and the importance of the teamwork in order to win
- among all the sports series, both of those are between the most commercial ones and very likeable stories.
- the characters in both of them have "special techniques/powers" who make everything even more interesting
- still, both are quite addicting, have a gorgeous art style and a very skilled cast of seiyuus.
Despite being about two different sports as you'll have a chance to see, they have some

If you like sports anime in general, Prince of Tennis is a must watch! Both anime have a perfect mixture of comedy and team spirit, and both will keep you on the edge of your seat hoping the teams win! The characters are very likeable and there are many different flavors so there's a character for everyone! I feel strongly that if you like KnB, you will also like Prince of Tennis!

Both are extended shounen sports anime with a large set of unique characters. The cast, other than the sport competition premise, is really the most similar feature of these two animes because not many animes can pull of the inclusion of soo many characters each with their own set of flaws, strengths, and colour.
The protaginists are rather different though--in Kuroko's Basketball, Kuroko is initially seen as talentless and weak while in Prince of Tennis, Echizen is a prodigy and spotlighted.
Both displays fancy exaggerated moves albeit different type of sports (tennis vs. basketball)
Both are amazing sports anime, although they do have their differences. The character personalities clearly differ. For example, the main character of "Kuroko no Basket", Kuroko presence goes unnoticed most of the time, he's polite and he doesn't have a natural talent for playing basketball. While the "Prince of Tennis" main character, Ryoma is quite hard to miss, has a natural talent for playing tennis, and is cocky, often shown by the way he taunts players with his catch phrase "mada mada dane." Although, both main characters differ, they are the same in the sense that they both have a love for the sport that

Both are sports anime with lots of characters that all still get good characterization.
The sense of humor in both series is quite similar too, as well as the plots and counter-plots while playing a match.

•both are of the same shounen, sports genre, but different sports altogether
•both male protagonists join a school for their favourite sport.. tennis/basketball
•both animes show the importance of friendship, rivalry, teamwork etc
•both animes sports groups/clubs, have special talents/skills/powers that make each of their individuality, making them better than others, making them elite.
•both anime plots are roughly the same, both male protagonists want to be the best at what sport they play, and both animes are surrounded by a full comedic cast of supporting characters
•if you liked one you will probably like the other in terms of sports and special moves/skills and winning to be the best.
PoT is basically KnB's Generation of Miracles playing for one team. Both are team-orientated sports anime, with lots of humour, matches, team bonding moments and more. They go hand in hand, so if you like one, you'll like the other. They both have superpower sports, although PoT way more than KnB.

-Main characters are OP, completely overpowered
- Main characters vow to defeat certain sum1 or pplz,
- part of the school club of the sport, along with the rest of the team, the 2 schools aim to win at the national tournament or winter cup and fight against other strong schools

Both main characters are experienced in what they do. Every each player has his own special "ability". Lots of comedy in both shows. You will really enjoy both series

Similarity
- all boys players and female coach
- there are practice program, tournament, teamwork, friendship
Difference
- Kuroko have more plot other than winning the tournament
- POT focus a lot more on each characters' technique and development
- POT have a lot of episodes, so they mixed of practice at the court, setup summer camp, and after school activities instead of purely focus on practice and tournament.
