A spinoff of Basketball Wives that’s produced by Shed Media, LA features a collection of women with romantic ties to hoops luminaries. O'Neal, former wife of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, is also an executive producer on the show.

Executive producers for Shed Media are Pam Healey, Lisa Shannon, Sean Rankine, Mark Seliga and Amanda Scott. Executive producers for VH1 are Jill Holmes, Fernando Mills and Paula Aranda.

VH1 is part of Viacom. Chris McCarthy was elevated to president of VH1 and Logo earlier this month.
