Scott is able to return to the NBA just before the playoffs and wins his first game back after a pep-talk from Leslie. As a thank you, he presents her with her grandfather's classic Mustang which he has had remodelled and restored, but also paid extra to leave a dent in the side door intact as Leslie says it reminds her of her grandfather. After taking her to dinner, They first share a kiss, and then spend the night together.

That said, director Sanaa Hamri does an excellent job framing the on-court action. Either Common really is an NBA-potential athlete or Hamri's great at directing basketball scenes. The storyline's plenty timely -- pro athletes and their romantic adventures fascinate these days -- and that's a plus. And the supporting cast, which includes Patton and Phylicia Rashad, is impressive. Still, JUST WRIGHT is no starter; as it is, it plays like a bench-warmer, and that's just not right.
