Here is the background info they sent over: Elbow throwing, trash talking and in-your-face action: forget the NBA, we're talking about their wives! The successful VH1 franchise "Basketball Wives" just tapped a new team of leading ladies to take Los Angeles by storm.
The cast of "Basketball Wives LA" includes Gloria Govan (fiancιe to LA's Matt Barnes), Laura Govan (sister to Gloria Govan), Kimsha Artest (wife to Ron Artest), Imani Showalter (ex-fiancιe to Stephen Jackson), Malaysia Pargo (wife to Jannero Pargo), Jackie Christie (wife to Doug Christie) and Draya Michele (model and actress).
This 10 episode, hour-long series will dive into the real-life locker room of these leading ladies, giving viewers a never-before-seen look at what it takes to live in La La Land and be connected to a famous professional athlete. For the most part, these women live the life with the best cars, biggest mansions and hottest bling but living the high life is not all glamour and often there is a price to pay.
Cameras will follow these women as they attempt to juggle their relationships, infidelity issues, children and friendships while trying to find the perfect balance between supporting their families and realizing their own career ambitions.
