If you our a regular viewer of VH1’s Basketball Wives, you may have noticed that there is only ONE happy couple on the show. All of the other “wives” are separated from their ballers with the exception of one that is in a bad marriage. The one happy couple is Orlando Magic guard Matt Barnes and his fiancee Gloria Govan (who is sisters with Gilbert Arena’s fiancee Laura who “allegedly” slept with Shaq before Shaunie filed for divorce *DRAMA*).
Anyway, although Matt agreed to do the show in the beginning, he says he is disgusted by it after watching the first episode.
I wasn’t 100% against it at the beginning. It started back in Phoenix when Shaunie O’Neal approached my fiancee about it and I was really apprehensive about it. Then they kept approaching fiancee Gloria about it back and forth back and forth and I was really against it but my fiancee talked to the producers and felt good about it so I definitely backed her.
But after watching the first show I was just disgusted. I told my team because you know [my teammate] Dwight’s involved in that too that I’m not watching that because I know it’s going to make me mad and I’m going to watch it at the end of the season. I just think that what they say is going to happen and what actually happens is two different things.
Reality TV is kind of a joke. Everything is scripted. There is nothing reality about Reality TV. With that said, I’ll kind of leave it at that but if you want to have me back on at the end of the season when I won’t get fined for what I say, I’ll definitely tell you what I think about that.

My initial thoughts while watching the first show was; if you are in a happy relationship with your “baller” why in the world would you go on national television and invite the world into that relationship just for them to “f*ck it up”. On the first episode, Gloria said over and over that Matt was a good man and he doesn’t cheat, etc which I felt was opening up a can of worms for all types of “side pieces and jump offs” to come out of the woodworks if what she said wasn’t a 100% true. Not that I doubt Matt is being faithful but I know there is a thirsty hussie out there just waiting to get her 15 minutes of fame by putting him on blast if he isn’t.
And Shaunie knows she was on her hustle by convincing Gloria to do the show, knowing that incident with her sister Laura and Shaq would get exploited. I Ain’t Mad At That…
