About this episode

Maria Garcia and guest Brittany Cronin discuss the impact of 'Love & Basketball' on girls' dreams and sports.

More than 25 years after its release, “Love & Basketball” (2000) still redefines what a love story can be. It’s not just a movie about basketball. It’s about a girl and her dreams, and what it means to believe in yourself against the odds. Today, producer and WNBA superfan Brittany Cronin joins Maria to talk all things “Love & Basketball” – behind-the-scenes romance, girls in sports, the lesbian lore surrounding the film and professional women’s basketball, and why this movie is straight-up film canon.
