We Ain't Basketball Wives

"Basketball Wives" is an interesting show title for the VH1 Reality Show.  Considering almost all of the characters featured are not a wife of a basketball player.  Mainly ex girlfriends, ex-wives, and dancers who once ran in the same NBA circle.  No NBA nuptials, however, you can be guaranteed to see some type of hand in the face, drink throwing fight every episode immediately broken up by a security guard.  I would start public fights all the time if I knew someone would be there to break it up IMMEDIATELY. 

So here is my new working title for the show: “We ain’t basketball wives but we like talking sh*t in different restaurants throughout Miami"

Don’t get me wrong I ain’t got no problem with their eloquently spoken conversations followed with “You know what I’m sayin???” after every statement.   Bad acrylic nails and hoop earrings the size of my hand flailing when they launch drinks at each other really round out the show. 

Here's a character run down:

Evelyn:  engaged to a football player. 

Jennifer: married to a basketball player but getting divorced.  She's been dragging that one out for the past 2 seasons. 

Royce:  she is self proclaimed not ghetto but she's hood.  Fantastic dancer.

Suzie:  I'm still trying to figure our how her lisp has helped her land several basketball players.  If her and I ever meet, I’m going to ask her to say “pizza and orange juice” 

Shaunie: my favorite.  Shaq’s ex wife.  She is about four feet tall and loves to get the gals together to stir up some drama. 

Meeka:  WOW.  She can talk. 

Tami: from The Real World San Fran.  She’s always been a favorite reality show character of mine.   Does anyone remember when she had her jaw wired shut to lose weight?  Always a great move when you're filming a reality show.

This quote was recently featured:  "I can change my hair, I can change my clothes but she can’t change the fact that she’s ho."

And with POWERFUL statements like that I will be tuning in regularly.   My only suggestion: Let’s get the Kardashian sisters in the mix here.  Crap, Khloe is ACTUALLY married to a player.  That ain’t gonna work.  Ya know what I’m sayin??
