ACTUAL Basketball Wives

The debut of the new season of VH1's hit Reality TV series 'Basketball Wives' debuted last night.

**For more info on the show, check out my Cliche' Magazine post on the show HERE**

After I did my Cliche' Magazine  post, I noticed alot of people questioning why the show centers around females who are not ACTUALLY basketball wives (Although some characters have been married to Basketball Players in the past.). One character is even engaged to Chad Ochocinco, who is an NFL player.

These are some of the well-known Basketball Wives out there; and though they aren't featured on this particular reality show; ironically these ladies have all had one of their own. 



MONICA-R&B Singer Monica is married to LA Laker player Shannon Brown. They've been married since November 22, 2010, but the public found out later since the marriage was secretive. Monica had her own reality show, "Still Standing," to promote her album with the same title.


LALA-TV Personality Alani "Lala" Vasquez is married to former Denver Nuggets player Carmelo Anthony, who now plays for the NY Knicks. Lala and Carmelo became engaged Christmas Day in 2007; the couple married on June 10, 2010 , which aired on the the Reality TV Show "Lala's Full Court Wedding". 


KHOLE KARDASHIAN- Youngest of all of the Kardashian Sisters, Khole Kardashian was the 1st to get married; and is married to LA Laker player Lamar Odom. Khole and Lamar were engaged for about three weekds before tying the knot on September 27, 2009. The couple then got a spin-off of the show 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'  which focused more on the couple called 'Khole and Lamar'.



KEYSHIA COLE-  R&B Singer Keyshia Cole is just recently got married to Cleveland Cavalier player Daniel Gibson on May 21, 2011. The couple have a son together named Daniel Gibson Jr. Keyshia Cole 's reality series 'The Way it is', broke records in 2007 for being the #1 Original Reality TV series of the year. Her album with the same title, debuted at #6 on the Billboard Charts. The show, 'The Way it is' created a spin-off with her mother and sister, 'Frankie and Neffe'.

I don't know about you, readers, but I would love to see a Reality TV Show with all of these ladies TOGETHER. Although the drama of the VH1 series may not be there, these wives already have the fan base that could generate the ratings needed. All of these wives are fairly newlywed, so congratulations and happy marriages to the couples! Maybe a show could come when the couples are little more seasoned.

How do you think the show would be in comparison to the VH1 series?
