VH1 has announced it will debut its upcoming television reality series “Basketball Wives” on March 15. Shaquille O’Neal’s estranged wife Shaunie is an executive producer and will also be featured, along with Eric Williams’ wife, Jennifer, and Mesha O’Neal, married to Jermaine O’Neal. VHI executive Jeff Olde said Monday that “Basketball Wives” will show the upside of the women’s lives — big homes, designer clothes and jewelry — and the drawbacks, including worries about whether their husbands are being faithful on roadtrips.
