Summary:
"From the time they were kids, Monica and Quincy taught each other how to play, but their commitment to the sport now forces them to choose between each other and the game in Love and Basketball. In Above the Rim, an inner-city high school basketball star impresses a powerful gang leader, who promises him the good life ... a lure which may threaten his college career and entire future"-- Provided by publisher..
