Love & Basketball (2000)
Movie
Released
Gina Prince-Bythewood lets sporting ambition remain a serious shared language inside a romance. Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps have to negotiate work as well as attachment. Beyond the Lights and The Woman King show later range, while the first feature already treats a woman's competitive drive as a source of character rather than an obstacle to being loved.

About Love & Basketball
Monica Wright and Quincy McCall grew up in the same neighborhood and have known each other since childhood. As they grow into adulthood, they fall in love, but they also share another all-consuming passion: basketball. As Quincy and Monica struggle to make their relationship work, they follow separate career paths though high school and college basketball and, they hope, into stardom in big-league professional ball.
