# Basketball Wives season 6

The sixth season of the reality television series Basketball Wives aired on VH1 from April 17, 2017 until August 14, 2017. The season was primarily filmed in Los Angeles, California. It was executively produced by Nick Emmerson, Alex Demyanenko, Shaunie O'Neal, Jill Holmes, Tom Huffman, and Sean Rankine.
The show chronicles the lives of a group of women who are the wives and girlfriends, or have been romantically linked to, professional basketball players in the National Basketball Association, though the title of the series does not make this differentiation, solely referring to the women as "wives".
