It seems like it’s been forever since we saw Shaunie O’Neal and her mean-girl gal-pals fighting around Los Angeles. But alas, Basketball Wives L.A. is back. And with Season 5 comes two new girls who are stirring up trouble.
Joining O’Neal is Tami Roman, Brandi Maxiell, Jackie Christie, Angel Brinks and Malaysia Pargo. The newcomers are DJ LaTosha Duffey who’s engaged to basketball manager Iman Shokouhizadeh and Angel Love who’s dating DeJuan Blair, former Washington Wizards player.
Duffey is brought into the fold by Maxiell, which naturally (since these are grown woman), makes Pargo jealous. And the bestie face-off begins!

Christie is still up to her usual tricks, putting the girls against one another and trying to looked snatched at 40/50-something. “I’m really into getting my body into tip-top shape,” she says in one confessional. “I need to stop drinking because that’s why I got this Liver Sarcoidosis. I don’t even know what that means.”
Another person dealing with health issues is Roman, who after having a miscarriage last year, is on the fence about trying for another child. “I know that you haven’t had a child and you want one. But that may not be what I’m capable of doing,” she says to her partner, through tears.
