Have you ever wondered what it's like to be an NBA player's wife? Well, wonder no more!
VH1 has teamed up with the wives and girlfriends of some of the NBA’s most elite players to give the viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the glamorous life of a professional basketball player’s wife in VH1’s original series, "Basketball Wives." Production is set to begin on the series in December 2009. The eight-episode 30-minute series is set to premiere on March 15, 2010.
There are so many different places this show can go, but unfortunately, VH1 is producing it. Were it on, say, HBO, we could really be talking about something special. Like "Real Sex" meets "Real Housewives" meets TRUCK PARTY.
"It's not TV, it's... the actual, documented exploits of NBA superstars." Sadly, I have a feeling VH1's version will be sanitized, and peppered with fluffy storylines, like "How do I juggle all these charity events?!" instead of, "Who brought all these groupies to Allen Iverson's charity softball game?!" Oh well...
But hey, there's always Jersey Shore, right?
