Overall:
This easily passes all the necessary guidelines, though I feel the coverage of more recent decades (2000s and 2010s) to be a bit sparse; Haikyuu is a pretty big title that isn't mentioned here, despite its effect on high school volleyball popularity. As for the hooks, I would drop ALT1 and ALT4 as they are less interesting, and the latter creates a sea of blue links. I find ALT3 to be the most interesting, though I suggest adding a link to
Slam Dunk and appending "time" before decompression to get the point across.
