Life is about to get a lot more complicated for twin basketball phenoms Jordan “J.B.” and Josh “Filthy” Bell. Arriving Wednesday, April, on Disney+, “The Crossover” tells a story about growing up, growing apart and, of course, basketball. Filthy (Jalyn Hall, “Till,” 2022) is a laser-focused athlete who puts all his energy into becoming the next Lebron James; his twin brother, J.B. (Amir O’Neil, “Madagascar: A Little Wild”), has always followed the same path. Trained by their dad, Chuck (Derek Luke, “The Purge”), a former NBA player himself, it’s no surprise that the boys have a solid future playing the game — that is, until J.B.’s interest pivots towards new girl Alexis (Skyla I’Lece, “P-Valley”). Tension mounts between the brothers, and it only grows stronger when their father’s health starts to fail. Will the boys be able to keep up with Chuck’s “basketball rules for life”? Or will his interest in Alexis prevent J.B. from playing and excelling at the game? “The Crossover” is narrated by Daveed Digs (“Hamilton,” 2020) and based on the best selling book by Kwame Alexander..
