Love & Basketball ♥

For those who may not know it, today Wednesday 21, 2010, marks the 10 year anniversary of the movie "Love and Basketball" . It is one of my favorite movies, as it isn't the traditional love story. It involves one of my favorite things, the sport of basketball. Its not they type of movie that could be easily described, and I have a way with words. If you've never seen it, I'm not going to ruin it for you, but instead will highly recommend it. For those who have seen it, a blog site I like had dedicated all posts this week to that wonderful movie. The site is www.NakedWithSocksOn.com It has many other things, and I highly recommend that as well. Until next post!
