Maybe you’ve seen this movie poster about a sequel to one of the most beloved Black love movies floating about the Internet. Love & Basketball is THAT movie and the news of a potential sequel of the 2000 film starring Omar Epps & Sanaa Lathan reprising their roles 15 years later made plenty of eyes pop with excitement. I’m not even sure what their characters would be doing as over-40-year-old basketball players who would definitely be retired by now. Maybe the story repeats and their basketball-playing daughter falls in love with another basketball player? Maybe Quincy McCall and Monica Wright divorce and later rekindle their romance as basketball coaches?
So with all of the speculation, is the film happening?
Unfortunately, the film’s creator Gina Prince-Bythewood took to Twitter to shutdown the rumors thereby breaking the Internet’s collective heart. Damn you fake movie poster!
Wow! For the record, there is NO sequel to Love and Basketball happening. Cute picture of Omar and Sanaa though.
