Alright, let’s gab about these NBA wives and if they tag along with the team. You know, like do they pack their bags and follow their husbands all over the place?
Do NBA Wives Always Hit the Road?

Well, from what I hear, it ain’t a always thing. Mostly, they stay put. You know, they got lives too! Kids to look after, houses to run, maybe even their own jobs. It ain’t easy just up and leaving everything.
But sometimes, yeah, sometimes they do go. Maybe for a big game, or the playoffs, somethin’ special. It’s kinda sweet, you know? Like they’re supportin’ their man and all. But it ain’t the whole shebang, not for the whole season. That’d be a lot, wouldn’t it?
Why They Might Go, Why They Might Not
Now, there’s reasons why some wives might go and others don’t. Like I said, kids are a big one. You can’t just drag little ones all over the country, can ya? And money, that’s another thing. Sometimes the team pays for the wives to come along, but sometimes they gotta pay their own way. That ain’t cheap, travelin’ all the time.
- Kids at home
- Gotta pay their own way sometimes
- Got their own jobs and stuff
And some of these wives, they got their own careers, you know? They ain’t just sittin’ around waitin’ for their husbands. They got things to do, places to be. Can’t just drop everything for basketball.
The Team Sometimes Pays, But Not Always
I heard tell that sometimes, the teams, they’ll pay for the wives to travel. Why? Well, they figure it keeps the players outta trouble! If the wives are around, the fellas ain’t gonna be out partyin’ all night, gettin’ into who-knows-what. Smart, huh? Keep ‘em on a short leash, so to speak.
But that ain’t always the case. Most times, the wives gotta figure it out themselves. And like I said, that can be a real hassle, and expensive too.
It Ain’t Like on TV, Ya Know
You see these shows on TV, “Basketball Wives” and all that. Makes it seem like all these ladies are just followin’ their men around, livin’ the high life. But that ain’t the real deal, not for most of ‘em. A lot of those women on TV ain’t even wives anymore! It’s all just for show, ya know? Drama, drama, drama.

So, the answer is… kinda sorta. Sometimes they go, sometimes they don’t. It just depends. It depends on the kids, the money, the team, and what the wives themselves wanna do. It ain’t a simple yes or no answer, life never is, is it?
The Wives Got Lives Too
It’s important to remember, these women, they’re more than just “NBA wives.” They’re people, with their own lives and dreams and responsibilities. Some might like travelin’ with the team, seein’ the country, supportin’ their husbands. Others, they’d rather stay home, take care of the kids, do their own thing. And that’s just fine. It’s their life, ain’t it?
In short, it ain’t a one-size-fits-all kinda deal. Some wives travel sometimes, but mostly they got their own things goin’ on. And that’s the long and short of it, as far as I can tell.
Do teams always travel the same way? Nope, it seems like it’s different for each team and how they work things out for the season, there’s not one way everyone does it.

Are there any actual “Basketball Wives” on those TV shows? Well, from what I gather, not really. It’s mostly just drama for the cameras and not many of the women are even married to players anymore, imagine that!
