Summary: In 1981 in L.A., Monica moves in next door to Quincy. They're 11, and they both want to play in the NBA. Their love-hate relationship lasts into high school, with Monica's edge and Quincy's top-dog attitude separating them, except when Quincy's parents argue and he climbs through Monica's window to sleep on the floor. As high school ends, they come together as a couple, but within a year, with both of them playing ball at USC, Quincy's relationship with his father takes an ugly turn, and it leads to a break up with Monica. Some years later at a crossroads, they meet again. It's time for a final game of one-on-one with high stakes. A few years later Monica joins the WNBA with her husband Quincy and their daughter at her side.
Review: All's fair in Love and Basketball. Well all is emotional in the movie as well. Love & Basketball is a great tear jerker, a little smile and everything in between. If you like romance, drama and basketball this show is the show for you. By breaking the movie up in quarters you see how puppy love grow into adult love. You go on a journey with two star-crossed lovers through junior high school, high school, college and beyond. You get a gist of how hard being in love and following your dreams at the same time may be. A definite recommendation.
