The NBA’s Most Famous Wives & Girlfriends

Yvette Prieto: Michael Jordan

It is very fair to say that the saying "behind every great man is a great woman" is valid when it comes to the men of the NBA and their beautiful and talented wives and girlfriends. These NBA players make millions every year playing the sport that they are passionate about, while the women in their lives are there to support them whilst supporting their own passions as well. Athletes have a bit of a reputation for not being the most faithful in their relationships, but that does not mean that they are always that way, not to mention that there are those who do take relationships very seriously. These mega-successful players have strong and beautiful women by their side, whether as their wife or girlfriend, whether they are still together today or not. Take a look at these incredibly successful and stunning women who are the force behind every NBA player we know and love.

Yvette Prieto: Michael Jordan

Anne De Paula: Joel Embiid

Michael Jordan may not be an NBA player anymore but the man is a legend so we are obviously going to have him on this list. Michael is also married to the beautiful Yvette Prieto, a model of Cuban descent who looks mighty fine on that long arm of his. The two married in April 2013 and as you would expect, had a wedding that made all other weddings tiny in comparison. The wedding was said to have cost Michael a whopping $10 million and included guests that would make the Grammy's look lame. Michael and Yvette welcomed twin girls in 2014.

Khloe Kardashian: Lamar Odom / Tristan Thompson

Gabrielle Union: Dwyane Wade

What can we say, Khloe has a type. The youngest Kardashian daughter (not the Jenner) has a thing for basketball players probably because she is so tall herself that they are the only taller option.

While these are both past tense relationships, Khloe was a support system to both of these men and their careers.
