Love & Basketball (1997)
With basketball as the recurring background music, here's a love story between next-door neighbors that evolves over time and various life changes. Monica Wright (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy McCall (Omar Epps) first meet as pre-teens, each with the dream of playing in the NBA, and end up spending the better part of 13 years of their lives falling in and out of love with each other. When Quincy suffers a serious injury as a professional basketball player, Monica flies to check up on her old friend only to discover she still has unresolved feelings to work through. And you might guess where the two work their differences out for one final time: On the court.
