All’s fair in Love & Basketball, the story of Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps), two childhood friends who share a passion for basketball and each other. As they make their way from the playground to the college courts, will their relationship stand the test of time? Will their hoop dreams come true?

Editor's Note

LOVE AND BASKETBALL is the powerful story of two next-door neighbors in Los Angeles who grow up loving basketball and, eventually, each other. Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps) have wanted to be basketball stars since they were kids. Monica has had to work hard to establish herself as a presence, while Quincy was born with natural star potential. As the two struggle to reach their goals of playing professionally, they must also deal with their feelings for each other.
