This film focuses on two Los Angeles kids who are crazy about each other. In addition, they also share a passion for basketball, and that presents a problem for them every season. They share their dreams of playing in the pros (both the NBA and WNBA), and neither of them is willing to give up a romantic relationship for a basketball career. There are spectacular cameos by players from both the LA Lakers and the LA Sparks.
