Why I Can’t Be a Basketball Wife

When I saw this profile of La La Anthony, wife of Carmelo, I thought, “Finally.” La La is one of those people who’s poked around my consciousness for months now. I hear her name but don’t understand who she is or why her name is repeated so often. Then I read the profile, got how awesome she is, and decided I wanted to be her.

Five Reasons Why I Want to Be La La

1. Her name is La La.

2. She hosted “TRL” and “Flavor of Love.”

3. She interned at a radio station with Ludacris, who the article notes in the way only a Times piece can, “left to start his rap career.”

4. Her “financial guy” is the same one who got 50 Cent his deal with Vitaminwater. That guy is a genius!

5. She produced the documentary “Tyson,” which includes the unforgettable line from Mike that he “knew the art of skullduggery.”  

And One Reason I Can’t

1. She is married to a basketball player and everyone knows I have questionable — Luke Walton, Joakim Noah — taste in basketball players.
