    Enjoyed it for the most part but the story feels a little stunted with its presentation, especially the rushed conclusion.

    It was good but kind of typical for this genre. I'd probably not want to watch it again. It's worth checking out.

    "Love & Basketball" is a slam-dunk romance film, intertwining the love story of childhood friends Monica and Quincy with their passion for basketball. Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps deliver compelling performances, and the movie explores themes of ambition and personal growth. While it captivates with relatable characters and emotional depth, occasional plot meandering and underdeveloped subplots hinder the overall experience. Nonetheless, the film's soulful soundtrack adds to its charm. "Love & Basketball" is a heartwarming portrayal of love and dreams, celebrating the thrill of the game while showcasing the intensity of relationships both on and off the court."

    A beautiful love story about 2 people with a love for basketball. I watched this movie growing up and it's just as good now as it was then.

    Love and Basketball is an absolute classic! Everything about this movie. The casting. The story. The Director's calling card film and IMO, the #1 hoops film ever released. A sequel would be interesting, knowing that the WBNA is now at a different level. For it to have a chance, Gina Prince-Bythewood has to direct. Any film she does is gold! :)

    It's OK. He's a basketball star falling in love. Gotta deal with his love for basketball and his relationship.
