Episode 271."Love & Basketball"Actor.Erika Ringor.Erika Ringor was born in Inglewood, California, USA as Erika Lynn Ringor. She is an actress and producer, known for Love & Basketball (2000), King Richard (2021) and The Morning Show (2019). You can currently find "King Richard" on HBO Max.  "Love & Basketball is considered one the most iconic sports movies of the last 20 years.Iconic critic Roger Ebert reviewed "Love & Basketball" by saying this..."Love & Basketball" is about how you can either be in love or play basketball, but it&apos;s tricky to do both at the same time. It may be unique among sports movies in that it does not end with the Big Game. Instead, it&apos;s a thoughtful and touching story about two affluent black kids, a boy and a girl, who grow up loving each other, and the game. Written and directed by first-timer Gina Prince-Bythewood (and produced by Spike Lee), it is a sports film seen mostly from the woman&apos;s point of view. It&apos;s honest and perceptive about love and sex, with no phony drama and a certain quiet maturity. And here&apos;s the most amazing thing: It considers sports in terms of career, training, motivation and strategy. The big game scenes involve behavior and attitude, not scoring. The movie sees basketball as something the characters do as a skill and a living, not as an excuse for audience-pleasing jump shots at the buzzer." -Roger Ebert.Welcome, Erika Ringor.Instagram: Monday Morning Critic Podcast.Facebook: Monday Morning Critic Podcast.Twitter:  @mdmcriticwww.mmcpodcast.comMondaymorningcritic@gmail.com
