In the short year "Basketball Wives" has been on television, it has become a major hit in the urban entertainment market. With other shows, such as "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," on hiatus, VH1's hit has risen to become a favorite in many households.

"Basketball Wives" was created by Shaunie O'Neal, the ex-wife of the legendary Shaquille O'Neal. Their marriage had been on the rocks for years and they finally decided to call it quits. Wanting something of her own, Shaunie created "Basketball Wives."

While the splitting couple appeared to be working on finding a compromise, this went out of the window when "Basketball Wives" was announced. Shaquille O'Neal threatened to take legal action if his name was mentioned on the show.

In spite of Shaq's antics, the show still went on to become a major hit. Shaunie O'Neal is the mind behind the hit series, but Evelyn Lozada is easily the most-popular woman on the show. Never being a "basketball wife," Lozada has had an affair with Kenny Anderson and was engaged to Antoine Walker. Currently, she is dating Chad Ochocinco.

With the third season just beginning, fans are hoping to see more drama. Recently, Evelyn Lozada spoke on the new season of "Basketball Wives" and she said there is much more drama ahead, as the third season progresses along.
