Gloria Govan, Laura Govan, Kimsha Artest, Imani Showalter, Malaysia Pargo, Jackie Christie and Draya Michele make up the new cast of Basketball Wives L.A.

VH1 has decided to expand their franchise to the West Coast and the show is set to air Monday, August 29 at 8PM ET/PT.

Of course, there will be drama, but it will be interesting to see which cast is better, L.A. or the lovely ladies of Miami.

For the most part, the women’s lives are full of expensive cars, mansions, glamour and family issues, as well as relationship issues with their men.
