NBA Players Who Have Impressive Partners, Careers & Bank Accounts

It is a popular saying, but only because there is some truth in it: every man has a great woman behind him! This rings true for the talented men of the NBA and their strong partners as well. These women have been there through the wins and the losses, the injuries and the championships, before their career and after retirement. You probably think these ladies have it easy, but you would be gravely mistaken about that! After all, they have to deal with crazy training schedules, intense workouts, multiple games, traveling, and the attention of the paparazzi.

Aside from that, our NBA superstars cannot be at home all of the time. Just think about how many games they go through in a single season! As much as they want to spend quality time at home, it proves to be impossible. The women have to be independent and strong by themselves during these trying times. It’s admirable of them, though it must be demanding at times.

The ladies you will find on the list are the partners of our NBA stars. It should go without saying that they are all beautiful in their own right, though many also have careers as interesting and successful as their men. Just look at Carmelo Anthony’s wife, for one! She is none other than Alani Nicole Anthony, though fans know her better as “La La”. Aside from marrying the NBA star, she is a popular VJ who appeared on MTV’s Total Request Live. Who else grew up watching that show? Apart from that, she hosted episodes of Flavor of Love, Real Chance of Love, and I Love New York. Oh, and how can we forget the fact that she was a Charm School dean? Not to mention, she starred in movies like 50 Cent’s Power. She got engaged to Carmelo Anthony in 2004 and you can watch how their relationship progressed on the reality shows La La’s Full Court Wedding and La La’s Full Court Life.

Are you ready to learn more about the women who caught your favorite baller’s heart? You don’t have to wait any longer. Read on to learn all about these lovely ladies.

Chris Webber

Chris retired from the NBA and went on to become a TV analyst instead. He is still a household name among basketball fans, though he is obviously not as popular as he used to be. He used to a playboy, though he ditched that lifestyle after he met Erica Dates back in 2007. The two got married two years after meeting each other. Impressively, Chris is one of the richest ballers on our list with a net worth of $143 million. He is also a philanthropist and this is evident with TimeOut, the charity foundation the ex-baller founded in the year 1993. The organization focuses on giving the youth recreational opportunities to spend their time on.
