Starring Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps, this movie is more than just a love story - it's a deep dive into passion, perseverance, and the competitive fire that burns on and off the court. Coach Bogia joins the crew to dissect the soundtrack that perfectly complements Monica and Quincy's journey, from soulful anthems of dedication to the driving hip-hop beats that fuel their dreams. Was it a slam dunk or an airball? Tune in as we break down the soundtrack, one powerful track at a time. Featuring music by: Donell Jones, Les Nubians, Black Eyed Peas, Angie Stone, Al Green and more!
