The Real, Real Basketball Wives of The NBA

December 19th, 2011 - By Rachel Louissaint

Reality TV shows will have you believe that being a basketball wife involves shopping, having lunch while being taped and fighting with females over he said, she said. The real story is that wives of basketball players are more than just the pretty face on the arm of successful athletes. They are strong, driven women who are the backbone of star players. You won’t find these woman throwing drinks at each other in a club, they are at home taking care of business especially considering that they really are wives and NOT exes, girlfriends and baby mamas that reality shows love to exploit.

    Forgive me, but what in the world took most of these men so long to pop the question. Does ‘long suffering’ have to be a criteria?
