Michael Jordan’s wife Yvette Prieto gave birth to the GOAT’s fourth and fifth kids in February, 2014.  After having three older kids with his first wife, Yvette gave birth to Ysabel and Victoria Jordan to round out the Jordan starting 5.  In one of those “this is gonna make you feel old,” moments, MJ became a grandfather in 2019.  His elder daughter, Jasmine, had a son with Rakeen Christmas (a professional basketball player in Turkey). …

Lauri Markkanen’s girlfriend Verna is an idealistic young woman from Finland. Since Lauri himself comes from Vantaa, Finland, it makes sense his girlfriend also hails from the same place. Verna maintains a very detailed blog that covers vegan food. If you are interested in vegan and vegetarian food, check it out. Verna talks about this subject in detail. She also writes consistently and keeps the blog chugging along. That’s very hard to do, as I’ve observed from…

Robin Lopez’ girlfriend Christine Vargas comes from Ecuador originally. She lives in Chicago with him since he landed there for the 2016 season. Since Chicago is cold in January, Christine traveled to Florida to ride on some Disney rides. She posed in front of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. I remember that ride myself, and it’s great. I also think Robin and Christine might still own a house in Portland since she still spends a lot…

Bobby Portis’ girlfriend Kanesha Woods is a serious basketball fan. She follows all the action religiously and makes all her opinions known widely. I like it because that’s what I expect from true fans. Who better to become a true fan than a pro basketball player’s girlfriend? She appears to be a tough woman. Kanesha also liked Charlie Murphy and posted a memory of one of his jokes as a little memory for his passing….

Derrick Rose’s girlfriend Alaina Anderson loves cupcakes. One of her habits is posting cupcake pictures- sometimes stacks of them. She just celebrated her twenty-second birthday. Miss Anderson is quite charismatic. Someone took videos of her birthday party and she was hamming it up. Alaina spends half her time in Chicago because Derrick plays there and she attended school there, but she also loves LA and New York. They already vacationed to Paradise Cove Beach in…

Kirk Hinrich’s wife Jill Hinrich just gave birth to twins in September of 2014, so she’s very busy taking care of their stable of four children. Their kids are named Kolton, Kinley, Kenzie, and Kyla. I’m seeing a pattern here, Kirk. Maybe Jill will think about changing her name to Kelly. Jill had a very athletic history before she became a professional mom. Kirk Hinrich’s wife Jill Hinrich was once simply Jill Fisher, and she…

Nikola Mirtoci’s wife Nina Mirotic is the daughter of his coach and mentor from Montenegro, Jadran Vujacic. This caused them some strain for a little while, apparently. There’s an account where Nikola told Jadran about their relationship when Nikola was around the age of 20, and their relationship was strained for about a month before everything got ironed out and back to normal. Now Nikola Mirotic and wife have been married since 2012. They have…
