Shaun Livingston’s girlfriend Joey Williams is the founder of a photography studio in Las Vegas that specializes in headshots and portraits. Unlike a lot of start-ups by player wives and girlfriends that I’ve come across, Joey’s business at least has a clear function: to take pictures of people. There’s still a market for professional photography, though I wonder if it’s a dwindling business thanks to the high quality cameras in phones and editing software available…
Bob Myers’ wife Kristen Myers is known for baking Bobby cookies. In a long and excellent profile of the man by Marcus Thompson, Myers explained that if he didn’t have a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies available, he’d have the director of team services go out and buy him some. However, he made sure to say that they were a distant second to Kristen’s. Bob and Kristen have two daughters named Kayla and Annabelle,…
Masai Ujiri’s wife Ramatu Ujiri is a professional model. It’s none that common to hear about an NBA general manager who’s married to an active model. Perhaps a retired model is more likely since GM’s tend to be on the older side. Ramatu is originally from Freetown in Sierra Leone. She attended high school in the lovely town of Greenbelt, Maryland and then went straight into looking pretty professionally. However, I certainly wouldn’t say that’s…
Larry Bird’s wife Dinah Mattingly is his second wife after his first marriage with a woman named Janet Condra. Dinah and Larry were actually both students at Indiana State and were married in 1989. The couple have adopted two children named Conner and Mariah. I’ll get to them in a moment. Before Larry married Dinah, he had a daughter named Corrie with his ex-wife Janet. There’s a few things to note about Dinah and Larry’s…
Andrew Bogut’s girlfriend Jessica O’Sullivan is a young lady who’s been with him for years now. They live together in California and have been there since 2012. Jessica certainly does not want any media attention whatsoever, and the only photo we have of her is from a public function the two attended for the Warriors organization. Suffice to say there’s plenty of athletes’ girlfriends out there who want nothing to do with the media. I can’t say I…
Okay, you all need a primer in the wonderful world of girlfriend Linsanity. Go ahead and type in “Jeremy Lin” into your Google search, and you will see a prompt that pops up and says, “jeremy lin girlfriend eunice.” So you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Oh, that’s gotta’ be Jeremy Lin’s girlfriend Eunice. Nothing weird about that.” Except there is zero actual evidence of him having dated a Eunice. There was a really weak rumor…
Stanley Johnson’s mother Karen Taylor bred him to be an NBA player. She was known as “Coach K” when Stanley was a kid because of her deep knowledge of the game. Karen was formerly a collegiate player at Jackson State and was apparently pretty slick. She would spend most of her days as a mom in the gym with Stanley, coaching him and training him to knock down jumpers. She started a special AAU basketball…
