Marko Jaric’s girlfriend Dusica Savic

Marko Jaric’s girlfriend Dusica Savic is a Serbian model who I watched in a music video by some dude that calls himself Igor X. There was no real story to the video other than Dusica working out in a gym with the Igor X guy while he hits on her. Later in the video she’s all over the guy, but it’s just for show, of course.

I guess it’s a good fit for Marko since they’re both Serbian. As you should already know, we covered Marko Jaric’s ex-wife Adriana Lima way back when they first got married, and they popped a few kids out since then. Adriana Lima’s beauty genes will erase any close-together-eye genes that the kids might inherit, in case you’re wondering. Marko Jaric’s girlfriend Dusica Savic is not as famous as Adriana, but she’s 23 years old and she’s originally from the city of Smederevo. According to a Serbian tabloid, Dusica grew up in Smederevo and became a model since she started high school. She moved to America to pursue her career in modeling, and that’s where Marko comes into the picture. They met in Miami. They met sometime in the winter, but I don’t really know what kind of description that is since Miami doesn’t really have a winter.

The couple was spotted by Splash News back in May at the beach. They were swimming in the ocean and kissing. A lot of people have talked about how she looks like Adriana Lima. I mean, a lot of very hot models look like Adriana Lima (that’s what makes them attractive). Adriana Lima should just be used as an adjective to mean “sexually desirable.” So that’s about it as far as her public appearances. She may or may not have a social media presence but it’s not Instagram. Maybe she’s got an account on some Serbian social media site or something. She now has access to NBA games, and that’s opening a whole new can of worms for her. Pretty soon she’s going to be partying alongside other ballers. I wonder if she speaks English? Being so young means she may not have had the time to pick it up just yet, though she may have learned it back in Smederevo.

Kawhi Leonard’s girlfriend Kishele Shipley

Kawhi Leonard’s girlfriend Kishele Shipley moved from California to San Antonio for the big fella’ around December of 2014. Their new life together is starting to get real. Once you move to a new city for someone, you’ve really committed to them– Will from “Good Will Hunting” style. Big play for young Kishele, but I think it’s a smart move because Kawhi is known to be a very loyal young man.

If you remember your PlayerWives.com history, we wrote about some chick not being his girlfriend back in June of 2014. We said we’d keep you posted about girlfriends cropping up in that article, so we’re here now to inform you. Also, part of the purpose of that post was to marvel at the size of the guy’s hands like a patrons of a state fair. His hands are absolutely gigantic. You’d think he has some kind of weird hand disease based on the size of them because each finger is like an extra limb. Anyway, those hands now associate exclusively with Miss Shipley. Kawhi Leonard’s girlfriend is from San Diego, and they met while Kawhi was attending SDSU.

One thing we can tell you about the activities these two engage in (since the rest of the internet seems to know next to nothing) is that they do go out to clubs and dance and do all that fun early-stage relationship stuff. They’re not complete hermits like everyone on the internet seems to think. Yes, they’re both relatively shy, but it’s more about them not wanting to talk with people they don’t already know (like fans and the media) rather than them being misanthropic. You’ve got to appreciate sports couples like this because they’re not interested in the spotlight. Kishele is mostly a home body, though, and the same could be said of Kawhi. Kishele has taken a recent interest in home decoration and design, saving all kinds of interior ideas on her Pinterest account. It can certainly be said that she has big plans for her and Kawhi making a happy home together!

Jordan Clarkson’s girlfriend Chanel Iman

Jordan Clarkson’s girlfriend Chanel Iman has the kind of face that, when you see it, you instantly know she must have done some modeling. It’s one of those pleasant exotic faces where it’s devilishly hard to figure out the girl’s heritage. My initial guess was a 50/50 Filipino and African-American mix, but her actual heritage is a little more subtle. Her mom is half Korean and African-American, while her dad is full African-American. Just throw in a little Korean spice into your African-American stew, and you’ll come out with a model every time. That’s what they always tell me down at Ford Modeling Agency.

Chanel actually took her mom to Korea to shoot a Vogue Korea cover, and she commented “I was able to take my Mom back to her birth place in style.” That is pretty darn cool, if you ask me. Jordan Clarkson’s girlfriend is in that crazy position of traveling to cool places to hang out at beaches and never having to pay a dime since it’s always work-related. She’s also the type of person who gets a tattoo of her own name (on the back of her neck). That always confuses me when people do that– maybe they get bored and just really like their own name. Naturally, Chanel is named after Coco Chanel. In this case, her mother was reading a book about that famous designer when she was pregnant with her.

In case you’re wondering what class of model Chanel is, I’ll clear that up for you: she’s top-shelf. You don’t get to be on the cover of Elle and have an article written explicitly about “How to Look Like a Bombshell” and not be deemed a world-class model. I saw a picture Chanel posted of her body in a swimsuit over the summer, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman with skin as radiant and perfect as hers. I’m serious– it’s like a synthetic human it’s so perfect. Here, I’ll prove it to you. She’s got that certain regal quality that some super models have, and if you’re looking for an adjective to describe her, you might try “photogenic.” Chanel is also really good friends with the very famous Hannah Davis, who if you don’t recognize her name you’d surely recognize her image from the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. She also attended the Oscars and hung out with John Legend and his girlfriend after he won an Oscar for a song. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go look at some more pictures of Chanel and her friends…

Luke Walton’s wife Bre Walton

Luke Walton’s wife Bre Walton was a middleblocker for the Arizona Wildcats’ volleyball team many moons ago, and she met Luke at college when he was attending back at the turn of the century. What a wild time it was– “Road Trip” was coming out, the Indiana Pacers were being coached by Larry Bird in the NBA Finals, and the Apple iPod had yet to be released. Golden times, folks, golden times.

Bre’s originally from Tucson, Arizona, and she now resides in Los Angeles with her husband, son, and a bulldog buddy named Gus. Luke Walton’s wife married him Aspen, Colorado in August of 2013 and was wearing diamonds all over her. She reportedly wore a cuff worth $240,000. Richard Jefferson was Luke’s best man, apparently. You would’ve thought he would have chosen one of his brothers, but Richy-boy beat them all! In case you’re wondering about Bre’s college past: she majored in nursing and mentored deaf students from the Arizona School for the Deaf when she was in college. She is fluent in sign language, and I have a feeling she continued to help deaf people long after she left college.

So after dating for over a decade, Walton proposed to Bre on Christmas Eve of 2012. Apparently the wedding was covered by Brides magazine, and in that article they mention the fact that they didn’t start dating until three years after they met. The way he proposed was by putting a jewelry box inside of a much larger box, and Bre assumed that he’d gotten her earrings, but she said she was genuinely shocked to see the ring inside even though they’d been together forever. The reason I keep coming back to their wedding is because it’s probably the best looking wedding I’ve ever seen for a professional athlete and his bride. Being in Aspen, they were able to do it on top of a mountain overlooking some really stunning scenery. They hired the same chick that did Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ wedding. I’ll bet you their marriage goes smoother than Tom and Katie’s.

Darren Collison’s Wife Keyosha Sanders Collison

Darren Collison’s wife Keyosha Sanders Collison has a good sense of humor. Based on the photography session Darren and Keyosha did for their pregnancy, they like to have fun. I say this because they take very obvious comedic roles in the photos they’ve taken. Darren plays the helpful athlete husband trying to convince Keyosha to eat fruit, and Keyosha plays the indulgent pregnant wife who’s not interested in fruit, or at least not as interested as she is in cake and sweets. It’s funny stuff. I almost see a little sitcom happening when I look at the photos. I’m sure it’s pregnancy photography setups 101, and that the photographer has done it time and time again, but it’s still funny.

Darren’s wife Keyosha had a fully catered baby shower the likes of which you’ve rarely seen. It was catered by professionals and resembled a large birthday party more than what I thought was the norm for baby showers. There was one of those inflatable children’s play-castle, a full bar, barbecue, and dozens of guests of both genders. I guess a baby shower is as good an excuse as any to have a full-fledged party. I wonder why more people don’t turn baby showers into BBQ fiestas. Also, why does the term “shower” play into the whole thing? Are people showering Keyosha with attention or something? Anyway, it looked like a good time.

Keyosha is happy about Darren’s large salary increase, and he’s having a very nice year so far on his new team the Sacramento Kings. His salary jumped up from $1.9 million to $4.8 million on the strength of his time with the other three teams he’s been with. Sacramento is definitely sending him a message that they want him and his wife Keyosha to stick around and help them go places. They are financing some pretty wicked baby showers.

Cleanthony Early’s Girlfriend Iliani Douge

I live less than two miles from the strip club where Cleanthony just got shot, and it’s actually got a decent location since it’s next to a big cemetery in a relatively quiet spot. Cleanthony Early’s girlfriend Iliani Douge is herself a stripper, and the two of them arrived at some point at night and left at 4:15 AM, according to the Daily News. Before they left the club, Mr. Early was apparently flashing around a good chunk of change and was seen wearing some expensive jewelry, which the paper reports was worth about $9,000. By baller jewelry standards, that’s not actually that much (some athletes wear tens of thousands of dollars around their necks and on their wrists).

So anyway, after they left the club, hailed an Uber and started driving – three cars surrounded the taxi at a red light, and guys in ski masks jumped out. The taxi managed to elude them, but the robbers pursued the taxi and surrounded it a second time, boxing them in. Six hoodlums got out and robbed Early of two gold chains, some gold caps on his teeth, and his phone. Then they shot him in the kneecap for some reason. That’s the fucked up part. They certainly didn’t need to do that, and it was the same kneecap that needed surgery last season (not like that matters much now). Who knows whether the guy will even be able to play now? Cleanthony Early’s girlfriend told the police that it was a pretty messed up situation. Indeed it is.

So here’s the interesting part: a little over an hour later someone threw two molotov cocktails straight into the strip club the couple just came from. So here’s what I’m thinking happened, and this is all speculation, mind you. I think Mr. Early told someone what happened, and that person or some other people surmised that the strip club was responsible for the attack. Now, some people on the internet have speculated that Cleanthony Early’s girlfriend may have been partially responsible, but I really don’t think that’s the case. She just doesn’t seem like she’d consciously do that. It’s not very nice to go talking about it like that and putting that idea into people’s heads, either. Whether anyone working for the strip club was responsible or not, it just goes to show you that if you go flashing around a lot of money late at night, you may get robbed. That’s how that works. 4 AM is a great time to get held up at gunpoint. A lady in my building got held up on Thanksgiving in the lobby of the building because she was alone at that late hour. If you’re carrying around chunks of gold or platinum late at night, be ready to defend them.

Boban Marjanovic’s wife Milica Marjanovic

Boban Marjanovic’s wife Milica Marjanovic gave birth to a little baby boy just 13 short weeks ago. That was their second child, and they’ve also got another young boy who looks to be around four or five years old. Leading up to the birth, Milica was very big on taking pictures of herself with just a bra and shorts on, posting them on Instagram for about 2500 other people to check out. I found her stretched-out belly button to be somewhat of a visual oddity. That’s just what happens to every pregnant women, though. Sorry, pregnant women, don’t mind me. My personal philosophy on pregnancy photos has no bearing

Part of the reason so many people are curious about following Boban Marjanovic’s wife is because she’s a normal-sized person. That means she looks like a dwarf standing next to her 7’3″ husband. Imagine, if you will, being a 6’8″ guy. Every single person that sees you is going to think, “Wow, that guy is really tall.” Now, imagine that you are eight inches taller than that. That’s pretty intense. As you can see in the photograph of the two of them, he appears to be a mythological giant next to her. She, on the other hand, is wicked pretty, and she’s got a cool personality to boot. That’s not to say that Boban doesn’t have a great personality, either. They both appear to be very warm, fun people.

About a year ago, Boban Marjanovic’s wife and him visited Belgrade with their son. They ended up checking out an aeronautics museum. The couple were married in February of 2014, so the trips they’ve taken after the marriage were still largely fresh off the honeymooning. A lot of Milica’s friends still live in or around Belgrade, which is still relatively safe by Syrian standards. Still, traveling to Syria is not what most Americans would consider a safe venture, so it’s difficult for us to imagine traveling back and forth to there. The couple partied with a bunch of their friends in 2014 in Belgrade, and both of them are still very close to them.

Dorell Wright’s Wife Mia Lee Wright

Dorell Wright’s wife Mia Lee Wright had plenty of baby mama drama to worry about over the years. Or maybe she didn’t worry at all– you never know. Big Dorell allegedly got his other girlfriend pregnant while he was also dating Mia, and Mia also had a child whom Dorell is helping raise. A site called tattletailzz.com thinks that the baby belongs to DJ Quik and not Dorell, though we remain neutral and without an opinion. This drama with the “side piece” allegedly occurred sometime in 2013 (as it was reported on various gossip sites in late 2013). The woman’s name is Specelle (apparently pronounced “special”). Well, she wasn’t special enough to marry Dorell!

Dorell and wife Mia got married in August of 2014, and their engagement photos are pretty awesome. One picture features Dorell and Mia in some sort of regal attire, and another picture features them on a motorcycle overlooking a city. Pretty cool. There were a bunch of famous NBA players at the wedding like Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh (from Dorell’s Miami Heat days).

Mia herself is a former model who was featured on a series of books called The Cheetah Girls written by Deborah Gregory. Disney also created a tv show with the same name but used different people to play the actual girls, so Dorell’s wife Mia was left out of that. There’s also other online internet drama that’s been posted by others involving Dorell apparently sending pictures of his private parts to another woman (not Specelle). It’s hard to keep up with all this he-said she-said. The picture that Dorell sent the woman is online and is not a classy representation of professional basketball players. It must get difficult being a professional basketball player with a bunch of money because whatever you do is going to get plastered on the internet.

Hassan Whiteside’s girlfriend Alexis Deviyan

Hassan Whiteside’s girlfriend Alexis Deviyan is a fitness ​lady who keeps her body looking like she could survive in a post-apocalyptic desert with nothing but a canteen. Yes, this is the whole point of staying fit and trim, people.  It’s about being ready for challenges in the wasteland, not for feeling healthy and lively. Okay, so that’s a clear reference to a popular video game, but it does align quite nicely with the level of intensity Alexis applies to her fitness efforts. She works at a Charlotte fitness club and has some sort of distribution deal with a supplement company. Man, this lady loves to talk about these supplements though. Good lord is this company getting their money’s worth from her.
Seriously, Alexis is like a robot when it comes to pumping out motivational phrases online. To be fair, there’s only so many ways to say “you can do it!” That’s why Hassan Whiteside’s girlfriend has been so effective at turning herself into a hard-bodied woman. True fitness enthusiasts manage to extend the lifestyle to all aspects of their day, and that’s very apparent when you look at Alexis’ online posts. Everything she shares online is about honing, trimming, and maintaining a perfect body. In fact, I’ve never seen such a singular-minded personal Instagram. Every single post is dedicated to physical upkeep and the use of products and routines. This implies that Alexis keeps a more personal account elsewhere, and this is sort of true on Facebook, though it appears she was hacked not long ago by a penny stocks company and didn’t bother to clean up the posts they put on her timeline. Anyway, she likes to show off the modeling work she’s done for local beauty supply stores.
Hassan Whiteside’s girlfriend graduated from Marshall University in 2013 and also considers herself an actor. Given half a chance, she’d drop the whole fitness gig, but it’s a good way to make money on the side. Alexis also works as a barista, which is an ideal way to enjoy life, be social, and make extra money. She has a chipper personality and possesses a very modern appreciation for what I guess you’d call “online branding.”

Justise Winslow’s girlfriend Abby Avery

Justise Winslow’s girlfriend Abby Avery is his high school sweetheart from the city of Houston. The two attended St. John’s High School there, and she was dating him when he made his announcement that he’d be attending Duke back in 2013. Justise did not spend much time there before announcing that he’s ready to roll in the NBA. That’s sort of become the norm for quality pro prospects now.

Abby is now playing with Justise’s new puppy, who appears to be a mastiff, except when you get a mastiff puppy they’re not really massive or mastiffy; they’re just little cute mini-dogs. While Justise manages to post photos of Abby and him every now and again, I get the sense that his life is so busy for him now as a rookie that he rarely gets a chance to see her. At their young age, Abby is very busy herself with college work the same way Justise is busy with learning how to be a professional basketball player. The tides of fame are gradually building for this young man, and Justise Winslow’s girlfriend Abby will have to hold on or get swept away.
Abby would routinely come and see Justise play when he was on the 2014 USA team, but that was not an Olympic team (just to clarify). Justise Winslow’s girlfriend attended prom with him in their sophomore year in high school, and the amount of transformation between then and now is pretty staggering in terms of where he’s at now. Considering that was three short years ago and that he’s still a teenager, he’s gone from a kid trying to do some equations in algebra to a guy making over two million bucks a year. Since Abby is so young, she has little opportunity to spend much time with him now, and his transformation into a professional athlete has steadily taken over all his time. The young man takes it all in stride though, and thanks to her support and the support of his family, he’s smiling and developing rapidly.

Bradley Beal’s Girlfriend Kamiah Adams

Bradley Beal’s girlfriend Kamiah Adams is a beautiful Instagram model closing in on the big number. One million followers is within sight. As of this writing, she’s got 827,000. The more followers you’ve got, the higher your potential value as an advertiser. She’s only really advertised a few things. One of them was some kind of dieting tea. The other thing was a sweater of Santa Claus. I always wonder what the paycheck on something like that is. She mostly just likes posting pictures of herself having a good time and looking good. She seems to score actual modeling gigs outside of just posting pictures online because she’s sometimes heavily made up and in costumes, but she never mentions who they’re for. She’s classy.

Kamiah has got a great energy and vibe about her. All of her comments are sweet and down to earth. This is one of the reasons why she has people signing up to follow her. She seems like the kind of girl you’d want to be around. That and she’s dead sexy. Bradley Beal’s girlfriend lives with him, and they have two dogs. One is a Rottweiler and the other is a French Bulldog. They’re named King and Diesel. Bradley and Kamiah are big fans of these dogs. The dogs are just like them- they radiate good vibrations. She also posts some pretty good quotes online. One of them was a comment about the difference between being jealous and territorial. She said, “jealous is when you want something that’s not yours. Territorial is protecting what’s already yours.” While I don’t entirely agree with this statement, I certainly appreciate that it makes me think about the idea.

Kamiah has also sported a Ramones t-shirt, which is very cool. I dunno, guys, I could look at pictures of this chick all day. She’s super hot, smart, and has interesting ideas. I mean, here’s a gem from her: “Build someone up. Put their insecurities to sleep. Remind them they’re worthy. Tell them they’re magical. Be light in a too often dim world.” I mean, that’s some Jedi shit right there. Gotta’ love Bradley Beal’s girlfriend…

Tyreke Evans’ girlfriend Angel Brinks

Tyreke Evans’ girlfriend Angel Brinks is one of those stunning young ladies who’s not afraid to wear gaudy stuff just for the sake of having fun and looking outlandish. I applaud this fashion choice most of the time because people tend to exude too much self-seriousness these days. Angel doesn’t have that problem at all, and she happens to be a fashion designer in her own right. If you’re rolling your eyes because you’re imagining her having no talent, don’t. She knows what she’s doing.

Angel specializes eye-catching ensembles that sometimes resemble super hero costumes. In this case, it’s not a bad thing. Yes, some of the outfits can border on tacky, but that’s kind of the point, and besides– there’s so many selections on her online shop that it doesn’t really even matter if you hate some of them. Okay, so I sound like Tim Gunn right now, but I really respect when a player wife is doing her own thing. Tyreke Evans’ girlfriend knows what she wants to do, and she’s doing it. It’s most definitely worth mentioning that she’s balancing being a mother as well. She’s the mother of their daughter, Amani, whom Tyreke is very proud of and shows off on a regular basis.

A few other noteworthy items: Angel Brink is known for being on the show Basketball Wives LA, and though I’m not really the type to watch any of these types of shows, it has become a wildly popular genre, and there’s no point in bad-mouthing it. The second item of note is that Tyreke allegedly had a son with another lady before Angel. Tyreke Evans’ girlfriend Angel is definitely the apple of his eye, but this other woman is named Ashley Logan, and the internet has pointed out how he never posts any pictures of her child (allegedly his too). It’s none of my business so I’m not going to speculate what that relationship is like. Being a professional basketball player can get sticky, folks.

Paul George’s girlfriend Destiny Marie

Paul George’s girlfriend Destiny Marie is a lovely young dish who appears to have had a kind of religious breakdown about three months ago. She said she had taken on a lot of responsibilities with friends and pressures that had left her feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Then, she dropped to her knees and cried, according to a post she put up at the time. She talked at length about how devoted she is to her religion and to prayer. It’s a good stress-reliever for her. Any time she feels anxious about tasks and things she has to get done, she prays. Hey, if it helps you get through the day, more power to you! Rain dances, talking to people in space, meditation– it’s all good.

Destiny had an interesting quotation a few months back: “She accepts the compliments on her face, her hair, her body graciously– and she is, indeed, beautiful. But she is only moved when you notice the beauty of her spirit.” This is a good thought from Paul George’s girlfriend. Ironically (since this is not the point at all), it also reminds me how overused the word “beautiful” is to describe the physically attractive qualities of a woman like Destiny. Most men don’t have the vocabulary or imagination to use any other word besides “beautiful,” and after awhile they must find it quite pedestrian. I’m not going to offer any suggestions, though, fellas. You’re going to have to get out the old thesaurus.

Anyway, that is sort of skirting around the point Paul George’s girlfriend was trying to make: pay attention to her actions and intentions, draw your observations about her character from them rather than her physical appearance. Likewise, she posted a quote by A.J. Lawless: ‘Her soul was too deep to explore by those who always swam in the shallow end.’ You get the idea. Hey, and what better place to find a deep, thoughtful, soul-searching man than the NBA, am I right? I mean, that place is just chock-fullof curious, intelligent, perceptive and insightful guys! Let’s not overdo it here, Destiny. When we’re young, we can tend to take ourselves a little seriously, ey?

Monty Williams’ wife Ingrid Williams

Monty Williams’ wife Ingrid Williams died on February 10, 2016 around 8 PM as a result of a head-on car collision. According to the Oklahoman, another car crossed the lane and hit Ingrid Williams’ car head-on. The driver of the other vehicle, Susannah Donaldson was also killed in the accident. Susannah Donaldson’s dog, which was riding in her lap, also died in the accident.

Monty Williams’ wife Ingrid Williams was very involved with the community and charitable activities. One such charitable activity took place in December 2013, when Ingrid helped other members of New Orleans Pelicans feed the homeless.

Ingrid and Monty have five children. The couple has three daughters named Lael, Faith and Janna. They also have two sons named Elijah and Micah.

Monty Williams attended the University of Notre Dame, where he was an All-American. He then enjoyed a long NBA career with the New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers. Monty was previously the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, his first head coaching job. He was fired last year and now serves as an assistant coach under Billy Donovan of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ingrid Williams was just 44 at the time of this tragic accident.

The Oklahoma City Thunder released the following statement:

The Thunder organization has heavy hearts tonight with the news of Ingrid’s passing.Words cannot adequately describe how deep our sorrow is for the loss of Monty’s wife. Our thoughts and prayers are with Monty and his family, and we will support him in every way possible. We know the entire community of Oklahoma City has them in their prayers.

The New Orleans Pelicans, Monty Williams’ former team, also released a statement:

The New Orleans Pelicans are devastated to hear the news of Ingrid Williams’ passing. Ingrid was beloved by the Pelicans organization and the New Orleans community and will forever be remembered as one of the most generous, kind and humble individuals we’ve ever known. Our thoughts and prayers are with Monty Williams and his family during this difficult time.

Kyrie Irving’s Girlfriend Kehlani Parrish

Kyrie Irving’s girlfriend Kehlani Parrish is a legitimate R&B talent. She’s been the receiver of some significantly corny and sweet messages from him as of late. He said that nothing else matters when he’s with her (what about your NBA career?). Irving then said that’s when he knew he had someone special, and her response was that he’d shown her so much in so little time and restored her faith in a lot of things. Oh boy, we’re dealing with some romance writers.

The last time we checked in with Mr. Irving, he was dating a former 2010 Miss Texas.

Kehlani was featured in a brief piece in none other than GQ Magazine about three weeks ago. She mentioned to the interviewer that she didn’t think of herself as a mainstream artist but that she was on top of the indie scene. Kyrie Irving’s girlfriend has got her career wheels spinning full speed. Any time you get featured in GQ, you must be doing something right. I feel like she should probably give her publicist a nice gift basket after that one. Speaking of gift baskets, Kyrie sends her those whenever he’s away from her. I saw her get one about three weeks ago, and she responded by saying that he never lets her forget how special she is. It sort of sounds weird when you put it like that, though. It’s sort of like saying, “I’m glad you realize how special I am.” No, but they’re sweet together.

Kyrie Irving’s girlfriend was also the youngest person on Forbes‘ 30 Under 30 list. That seems like a pretty cool honor to have. Being recognized by Forbes for being an influential and important young artist is going to get Kehlani a lot of attention even if it’s by the kind of people that read Forbes (probably not her target audience). Who knows- R&B fans can come from anywhere.

Muggsy Bogues’ wife Kim Bogues

Muggsy Bogues’ wife Kim Bogues is only slightly taller than he is. I’m not trying to make this just about height, but it’s something you sort of have to mention since it’s so incredible for any man to make it to the NBA if he’s that short. Hey, what lady never dreamed about marrying Muggsy? The little fella’ used to race around, running under the legs of giants at incredible speeds. Ladies like the underdog, and Muggsy was the shortest player in NBA history. The man was 5’3″! Think about that. You try getting into the NBA if you’re 5’3″. The odds of that are worse than you creating an alternate professional basketball league with your buddies and somehow taking over the NBA.

Muggsy and Mrs. Bogues are a fun couple that have had three kids who are all pretty much grown up by now. Their youngest daughter, Brittney Bogues, actually started a PR Firm a little while back. She’s very pretty and dazzles me when she wears her professional clothes. She lost a ton of weight in the past year and looks great. Kim herself keeps in fine shape even though she eats like royalty. Her and Muggsy are big into the culinary arts, and they are known to frequent some fine dining establishments.

There’s a few other things I should mention about Muggsy Bogues’ wife Kim Bogues. First, she owns her own business as a personal chef to the stars. That’s why she’s so interested in the culinary arts. It’s because she’s involved in them. She used to work for HBO Craft Services, feeding the cast and crew of the shows worked on there. The second thing to note about Kim is that she is an art student graduate from The Arts Institute of Charlotte. That means she appreciates creativity. Muggsy and Kim were married all the way back in 1989. They were actually separated and divorced in the mid 90’s. Then, Muggsy met another woman named Sharon Smith, and they were going to get married. Unfortunately, Sharon died. Kim and Muggsy sort of rekindled their love after that, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since.

Al Horford’s wife Amelia Vega

Al Horford’s wife Amelia Vega was Miss Universe in 2003. That’s a claim that almost no man can actually make about his wife. Can you imagine being at a cocktail party where everyone knows you’ve married one of the few Miss Universe winners? That puts you pretty high on the totem pole.

In a surprise ceremony on Christmas Eve, Al Horford married the 2003 Miss Universe, Amelia Vega. Horford and Vega were married at her Uncle’s home in the Dominican Republic. The DR is the country she represented in the Miss Universe competition. Vega’s uncle also happens to be the famous Juan Luis Guerra, an award winning singer famous in the D.R.

Since the competition, Al Horford’s wife Amelia Vega has moved to the United States, and lives in Miami where she opened a high end clothing boutique and recently recorded her first album. The store is called Essence and it is located in Little Havana. It has a four star rating on Yelp, but on only five total reviews.

Now for the salacious, and unconfirmed, rumors. Prior to marrying Amelia Vega, Al Horford’s girlfriend Stephanie Gonzalez, apparently had reason to think they would be getting married. They had been dating since 2008 and all was good. MediaTakeOut reported that Horford dumped Gonzalez as recently as a week before his new marriage. The wedding ceremony was sprung on guests as a surprise under the guise they were just attending a party. Can you imagine that? I’m guessing some guests thought that Al Horford was still with his ex-girlfriend Stephanie, only to show up for a wedding to another woman. Sure enough, MTO reported that some guests arriving to the party had no idea that Horford and Gonzalez had even broken up and were shocked to watch the wedding occur.

We have no idea how long Gonzalez and Horford were broken up for, but the relationship with Vega is definitely relatively new. If anything further ever comes out, we’ll keep you posted.

Horford and Vega had their first child, a boy, in January of 2015.

Tracy McGrady’s Wife CleRenda McGrady

Tracy McGrady’s wife CleRenda McGrady is a lovely woman and also a smooth customer. Wait, do you guys even remember Tracy McGrady? It hasn’t been that long since he was the king of smooth scoring in the NBA. His style sort of reminded me of an updated George Gervin. He was a smooth customer.

Anyway, back CleRenda McGrady. She had a television show called “Thryv 360” which was a religious-tinged show about inspiring women to be strong in the Houston community where her and Tracy live. It was a good try, but it didn’t last too long. The videos on YouTube for the show have almost no views. Hey, it’s hard to get a TV show going.

Tracy and CleRenda have three children together, and Tracy pays some child support for another kid he fathered back in the mid 2000’s. In fact, that was a little court drama back in 2008 when his ex was asking for a little over $200,000 dollars per month to support the kid. Sorry, but that seems insane to me even though he was making over $20,000,000 a year. Instead, that case settled for around $55,000 dollars per month, which is still a boatload of money. Everyone knows you don’t need 55K per month to raise a kid. They figured it’d be fine since Tracy was making so much anyway. Tracy McGrady’s wife CleRenda is like a saint when it comes to raising kids. She’s of the opinion that kids are exposed to too much information at a young age, and they should be shielded from it. Well, good luck with that, CleRenda!

The lady is really a saint though. She’s created a scholarship fund for women who want to go to Bible College. She’s really, really into Christianity. Tracy McGrady’s wife CleRenda McGrady has also put together charities where people sleep outside to raise money for kids. They raised over $4,000,000 for a youth homeless shelter. Way to go, CleRenda!

Carmelo Anthony’s wife La La Anthony

Carmelo Anthony’s wife La La used to be a VJ on MTV’s show Total Request Live back in the early 2000’s. She met Carmelo around the same time she was planning on leaving MTV to form her own company. She then produced the documentary “Tyson,” so that makes her successful right there. Who didn’t dig that flick? She’s since starred in a few movies that no one’s heard of and acted in a few television shows that people have definitely heard of and a bunch of plays. She’s also hosted several programs. This lady gets real work as an actress, and you’ve got to respect that. It’s not easy to get regular paying gigs as an actress.

LaLa Anthony was even featured in the new Spike Lee movie “Chi-Raq.” That movie’s gotten a ton of buzz for trying to bring to light the horrendous meltdown in civic governance that is South Chicago. She’s also acting in the show Power, which Wikipedia most certainly wants you to know is produced by 50 Cent. I’m not exactly sure how he produces that now that he’s broke, but maybe he’s just creative input? It’s been a few weeks since the news of him going broke came out too so maybe he’s flush now. Point is, Carmelo Anthony’s wife La La Anthony is a classy actress who gets paid and turns heads. I don’t remember seeing her on Total Request Live, but that show was a great launchpad for her to get her career moving.

The celebrity couple finally tied the knot in a lavish, star studded wedding event in New York City on July 10, 2010. The event saw the likes of Spike Lee, Justin Timberlake, Kim Kardashian, Ludacris, Amar’e Stoudemire, and Chris Paul (who is rumored to have made a speech declaring that he, Carmelo and Amar’e would start their own big 3 in New York in 2011). Less than 48 hours after “The Decision” LeBron James and wife Savannah Brinson entered the event to a chorus of boos from Knicks fans waiting outside.

During the second round of the 2009 playoffs against the Denver Nuggets, La La was ejected from the stands and created an internet video sensation. The video, shown below, shows a clearly agitated La La being escorted from the building. It’s extraordinarily rare for any player’s family to be ejected from the crowd, but even more rare when the player’s family is a celebrity in her own right. Vazquez later stated that she was subjected to latent racism, and a barrage of insults directed towards her and her son. She stated that she was incensed by the Dallas crowd that culminated in a physical altercation between her and a fan. A season ticket holder in the stands issued a statement that totally refuted La La’s version of the events, including saying that her son wasn’t even at the game.

One of my best friends had a girlfriend that attended Syracuse when ‘Melo was there. She told him that he slept “with like a hundred girls” during his tenure there. I wonder where she got figure from? Maybe she was one of those girls? I’m not saying I don’t believe it, but I am saying you’ve got to watch your sources when you start talking about that kinda’ stuff. Carmelo Anthony’s wife La La Anthony certainly wouldn’t want to hear something like that, right? I mean, you’re married to your dream man who’s yours and yours alone. The last thing you want to hear is how popular a guy he was with the ladies while he wore orange.

Will Barton’s girlfriend Jessica Burton

Here’s another magical case of close last names. If Will Barton’s girlfriend Jessica Burton married him, would anyone even notice? So now that we’ve established their last names are a near perfect match, let’s now delve into their personal relationship like peeping skaghounds.

Jessica is a graduate of The University of Memphis, which I myself have seen in my travels across these great states. Will Barton’s girlfriend is originally from Cordova, Tennessee and earned a bachelor’s in Interdisciplinary Studies. She became the mother of Will’s child in the summer of 2014, an event that Will described as joyous from the moment it started. He said everyone in the room was very serious and sterile while he immediately began telling jokes and playing with his son, Wyatt. It’s a charming way to describe a the scene. I’m sure Jessica appreciated his energy and presence. Some professional athletes don’t even get a chance to attend their son’s birth.

I suppose it’s also worth mentioning that the internet has spoken about Will and another woman named Kiidiosa who Will had allegedly been seeing as well. There were formerly pictures of both Kiidiosa and Jessica on Will’s Instagram account, but he deleted them. That’s a smart move. You don’t want websites that talk about who pro athletes are dating to see them! Anyway, it seems apparent that Will Barton’s girlfriend Jessica Burton is the main attraction in his life. She’s the main focus. Since they have Wyatt together, she’s a part of their family unit. Other than all this, Jessica tends to stay out of the limelight. They’ve been spotted one time by local Memphis News attending a Memphis Tigers basketball game. Wyatt was with them as well. If you want to go to a basketball game and you’ve got a kid, he’s going to. There’s always the chance that they’d hire a babysitter, but then you’ve got to worry about getting sued by them.
