Serra Ü As a Basketball fan, I really liked this film because it told the story of Lusia Harris, a basketball player who broke so many barriers for women in sports. I didn’t even know she was the first woman to get an invite to the NBA, which was so cool to learn. Her story was inspiring because she stayed humble and passionate about basketball, even though she didn’t get the recognition she deserved at the time. It made me appreciate how far women’s sports have come and how much further they still need to go. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
