Love & Basketball

Sparks fly both on and off the court in this groundbreaking feature debut by writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Old Guard),

which elevated the coming-of-age romance by giving honest expression to

the challenges female athletes face in a world that doesn\u2019t see them as

equal. Sanaa Lathan (Alien vs. Predator) and Omar Epps (Higher Learning)

make for one of the most iconic screen couples of the 2000s as the

basketball-obsessed next-door neighbors who find love over flirtatious

pickup games, fall apart under the strain of high-pressure college hoops

and families, and drift in and out of each other\u2019s lives as they pursue

their twin aspirations of playing professionally. Aided by stellar

supporting performances and an eclectic R&B soundtrack, Love & Basketball

captures the intoxicating passions, heartbreaking setbacks, and

sky-high ambitions that mark a young woman\u2019s journey to the top of her

game and to lastin!
