Where do I even begin with the "Basketball Wives" reality show that premiered on VH1 tonight? This show is a joke. It’s called “Basketball Wives” but really the only thing these women have in common is that they’ve slept with NBA players. I think the show consists of 1 wife (headed for divorce), a divorcee, a fiancee, an ex-girlfriend and a former NBA dancer/baby mama.This show is a low brow version of the Bravo “housewives” series and a joke in my opinion. If you want to have a show about Basketball Wives, find ACTUAL wives.
It's somewhat surprising that VH1 picked up this show, but judging by the other lineup of Sunday night reality shows I probably shouldn't be. Wedged between Brandy and Ray J trying to extend their relevance and Chili and her baby hair looking for a man, the show airs Monday nights at 10p. If you have nothing better to do take a look and judge for yourself... but me? I don't have room for another reality show featuring grown ass women perpetrating a fake friendships and acting catty. I understand they all want their 15 mins of fame, but they all are really too grown for these reindeer games.
I'll pass on this one.
