Love on the big screen
Pre-screenings start today for ``Gunnin' for that No. 1 spot, '' a movie that features eight future NBA players, including Kevin Love. The following is a press release and some info on the film:
Directed by Adam Yauch (founding member of the Hip Hop trio the Beastie Boys and director of "Awesome: I Shot That"), the film follows eight of the country's premiere high school basketball players on the fast track to the NBA, as they are adored by fans, wooed by colleges and sneaker companies, and groomed to be in the spotlight of the multi-million dollar game.
Blending this next generation of basketball players with a mix of raw hip-hop, jazz and break beats, Yauch's unique kinetic filmmaking, GUNNIN is an explosively entertaining look at soon-to-be NBA players.
It stars UCLA's Kevin Love and Brandon Jennings, who will be attending Arizona in the fall.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Whatever happened to that nick young film? i heard it was pretty good.
