Hottest basketball WAGs

Basketball stars are like small gods. They earn big pay cheques, live in hilltop mansions, drive flashy cars and when it comes to picking a WAG (wives and girlfriends) they like them beautiful and sexy.  Shirley Genga highlights a few notable WAGs:

Gabrielle Union

Dating: Dwayne Wade of Miami Heat.

   The two met while co-hosting a Super Bowl party in 2007 and began dating while Dwayne was involved in a very heated divorce. Dwayne, now 30, and Gabrielle 40, have over the years endured constant public and media scrutiny, lawsuits and crazy allegations from Wade’s ex-wife, and blogosphere rumours calling Union a home wrecker.

Trina

Dating: James Harden of Oklahoma City Thunders.

The controversial rapper is currently dating Thunder forward James Harden. The 33-year-old rapper has previously dated NBA forward Kenyon Martin, former Oklahoma State receiver and current Dallas Cowboys standout Dez Bryant, and rapper Lil Wayne.

LaLa Vasquez

Married to: Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks

The couple met in 2003. The year after they met, Melo asked Lala to marry him on Christmas Day. In 2006, Lala found out she was expecting their first child. Their son, Kiyan Carmelo Anthony, was born on March 7, 2007.

Seven years later, Antony and Lala got married on July 10, 2010 in New York City before 320 guests. Lala is no ordinary Wag; she is a television personality, has her own reality television show, a make up line and is an actress.

Adrienne Bosh
