Kuroko no Baske Episode 23
Teikou Middle School is famous for its highly renowned basketball team, which produced the famed "Generation of Miracles": a team of five prodigies, each with their own unique abilities, considered to be undefeatable by the time they became third years. However, blinded by pride, they split up, entering different high schools upon graduation.
Taiga Kagami, having just returned from America, joins the basketball team at Seirin High School in search of strong team members. There, he finds Tetsuya Kuroko, a seemingly unimpressive player, only for Kagami to find out that Kuroko was the "Phantom Sixth Member" of the Generation of Miracles: an invisible player who used his impeccable passing skills to support the team from the shadows. Together, they resolve to defeat the Generation of Miracles and make the Seirin basketball team the best in Japan.
No, that dialog is made up. I saw the BL joke somewhere on the internet and while Kise's ankle/knee did bother him during the game, I'm not sure that shot from the image you posted is even from that game. The entire game is from the 1st season and I think it spans a few episodes:
Kuroko no Basket is an anime narrating the story of the sixth player, Tetsuya Kuroko, and a hardworking Taiga Kagami aiming to beat the arrogant five and becoming the finest players of all time. Each match goes on for 2-3 episodes with emphasis on all of the players involved in the match. Their movements, though exaggerated, increase the intensity of each match and makes the anime very engaging.
Full disclosure: I am not a fan of sports by any stretch of the imagination. After a brief (and fairly disastrous) bout with middle school basketball I have studiously avoided athletics of all flavors, even as a spectator, but I LOVE Sports Anime! 041b061a72
