“The inaugural season takes a fresh look at how the women of the Orlando basketball scene navigate the competitive world of sports,” the show penned in a statement on the VH1 website. “Audiences will also see just how taxing this life can be, along with the people who have to experience it on a daily basis.”
The network alerted fans to the confirmed cast of the new show that was reported by TV Deets:

Shaunie O’Neal, the ex-wife of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal who conceptualized the franchise that debuted in Miami back in 2010, has harvested prosperous fruit from that origination. The show ran for five seasons in Miami while the Los Angeles edition began in 2011 and ran simultaneously for four years.
After a decade, pop culture observers said the show needed an infusion of newness and energy and TV execs are betting this is the formula that will manifest that objective.
It’s a fresh cast, better to start with a new franchise before the original one folds. Hopefully they keep the cast separate this time
