Love & Basketball
At 35% across 51 head-to-head matchups, Love & Basketball is still building its BingeBracket record. Gina Prince-Bythewood's debut tells a love story through basketball rather than around it, and the result is one of the rare sports films where the romance and the game sequences carry equal weight. It ranks among the weakest 2000s performers on the platform. 2.0s avg decision time (platform avg: 3.5s). No deliberation needed.
Synopsis
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.
