Athletes who should have their own reality shows

There’s a large pool of spouses, ex-wives and girlfriends available for "Basketball Wives," but there’s almost as big a talent pool for the new spinoff, "Kardashian Husbands." With a star-studded cast including Tristan Thompson, Kris Humphries, Reggie Bush, Lamar Odom and 2018 NBA MVP James Harden, it’s a rare look at the men of the Kardashian-Jenner orbit. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll be shocked Humphries once made $12 million per year!

The French World Cup star takes center stage in this dancing/goal celebration competition. Griezmann was France’s designated penalty taker, and during the Cup, he did the “Take the L” dance from "Fortnite" after makes (although it looked like a Bluth family chicken dance). This show would be like "America’s Next Dance Crew," only it’s "France’s Next Goal Celebration Crew," and everyone smokes cigarettes. They’ve promised to clean things up after the pilot, during which the losing team fell down and pretended to be injured to draw a penalty.

There’s never been an African-American "Bachelor " before, but it should be Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. He’s already shown he has the necessary charisma and good looks, but after blocking 111 shots last year, Embiid has demonstrated he has no problem with rejections. He’d also trash talk "Bachelor" Arie Luyendyk relentlessly. The only danger in making Embiid the "Bachelor" is that he might get down on one knee in the finale and propose to Rihanna instead.

Mike Trout is unquestionably the greatest player in baseball, but he’s surprisingly unknown among the general public. That’s where "Mike Trout: Fishing in America" comes in. The publicity-averse Trout takes a camera crew out in a rowboat each week, barely speaking or looking at the camera for hours as they wait for a bite. While it’s tedious and slow, the producers insist the show is still more exciting than a baseball game.

This summer, smoothie enthusiast Giannis Antetokounmpo has been trying classic American foods: Kool-Aid, corn dogs and Funyuns. This should obviously be a TV show, "Giannis Bless America," and include Giannis’ brothers, Thanasis and Kostas. In fact, put them all together with his new teammate, Disneyland superfan Brook Lopez, and let them try all the foods and all the rides in the park. 

In "Ovie & Stanley ," Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals takes the Stanley Cup on an international tour, drunk nearly the entire time. Sometimes Ovechkin will discuss the bars he visits or the history of the towns, but usually he’ll just yell, sing, do shots and splash around in public fountains. 

In "Blocked! ," Brittney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury meets up with people who have talked trash about WNBA basketball on the internet. Griner goes and plays them and absolutely destroys them, showing no mercy and dunking at every opportunity. After the inevitable loss, the defeated folks have to delete their accounts.

In "I Can See For Biles and Biles," gold medalist Simone Biles trains for her return to the Olympics in 2020. She also spends a lot of time just doing flips over things. She does all her interviews on a balance beam or hanging upside down.

In "Ryan Lochte Does Stupid Things," former Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte does something embarrassing or illegal on camera. There’s not even a high concept to this show: He already got suspended for posting a photo on Instagram showing him getting an illegal IV. Whether he’s fighting at a gas station in a foreign country or failing a drug test, Lochte is going to do something really dumb, and it’s going to be captured on film.

It didn’t work when he was playing his final year, but "Paul Pierce’s Retirement Tour" follows The Truth as he visits NBA cities, hanging around the arenas and hoping some team will give him an unremembered gift or some fan will ask him for an autograph. SPOILER: No one will give him a gift. They don’t love him like that.

She’s one the best players in the WNBA, but she's also the greatest basketball player to come out of Delaware. In "Elene Delle-Awareness," she'll celebrate the diversity and history of her native state. She'll visit the DuPont Mansions and all three of Delaware's counties, all while sharing fun facts like how Delaware is the only state with more corporations than people!

J.J. Watt is a versatile defensive end who can line up anywhere on the field, including on offense at tight end. But "J.J. Watt’s Sack Lunch" shows his versatility in the kitchen, where Watt teams with celebrity chefs to make gourmet meals for children based on his own nutritional needs. Watch as he mixes protein powder into juice boxes and creates a 3,000-calorie sandwich. The last kid to finish gets tackled by J.J. himself!

Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer takes viewers through his extensive collection of tiny aircraft in "Trevor Bauer’s Drone Garage." Bauer shows off his flying machines and each episode finds a way to horrifically injure himself while fixing them up. It'll be picked up for 10 episodes or until Bauer’s loss of blood makes it too dangerous.

Yankees sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton preside over their version of "The People’s Court": "Judge Giancarlo ." Whereas Judge Wapner based his decisions on California law, Judge and Stanton follow the only law they know: dingers. Each side presents its case, and then the decision is made by a home-run hitting contest — guest starring Gary Sanchez as the bailiff who can’t catch anybody.

In "Kobe Doin’ Work ," Spike Lee famously focused 30 cameras on Kobe Bryant for a single game against the Spurs during the 2007-08 season. "Kobe Still Doin’ Work" features the same intense commitment to chronicling Kobe but for his retired life. We’ll see him work on his puppeteering with Lil Mamba, his voice-overs for his ESPN show "Detail ," and his tireless efforts to deface each and every LeBron James mural that goes up in Los Angeles.

These two greats have been retired for over a decade, but their competitive streak surely still exists. "Suburban Slam" follows Graf and Agassi as they live with their family in Las Vegas and absolutely crush other couples at squash, bridge, PTA fundraisers and everything else in suburbia. The first season features a thrilling cliffhanger when Pete Sampras tries to buy the house across the street.

"Discount Double Dare with Aaron Rodgers" is a reboot of the popular family game show but with a twist. All of the messy obstacles are based on Aaron’s own life! Watch kids try to search for flags in a Cheesehead made from actual cheese! Thrill as dads go head-first down the Clay Matthews Slide Into Mediocrity! Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been this agitated about flags since the Fail Mary!

The two Rangers teammates and occasional antagonists need a buddy series to explore their dynamic further. That’s why "All Caps" will feature the two of them running a Lids franchise at a mall outside in Arlington. Will Andrus fume at Beltre’s control-freak attitude toward pricing? Will Andrus keep touching Beltre’s head during arguments? And will new intern Shin-Soo Choo get caught in the middle?

In "The Voyage of the Flat Earther," Kyrie Irving and his loyal pet mouse set out on a sea journey to find the edge of the Earth or, at the very least, the King of Basketball, the lion Aslebron. It’s like a combination of "Deadliest Catch" and a YouTube video about chemtrails. Don’t worry, for the safety of the participants, ace sailor Marc Gasol will be coming along.

He’s conquered the world of golf, but in "Phil Mickelson’s Financial Bunker," Lefty shares the borderline legal stock tips that netted him almost a million dollars, plus a fine from the SEC. Phil also gives you those winners in pro football and basketball who will give you a wagering hole-in-one.

Tom Brady had "Tom vs. Time," a web series about his rigorous training and home life. Now teammate Rob Gronkowski has a show about his offseason regimen, called "Rob vs. Closing Time." Gronk shows off his workout program of keg stands, 12-ounce curls and wrestling with his giant brothers. The best part is Gronk will have plenty of time to film Season 2 while he’s suspended for things that happened in Season 1.

There’s nothing better than being a Super Bowl hero. That is, unless you’re Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, who is a Super Bowl hero who doesn’t have to go to work. "Backup Plan" follows Foles as he’s lavished with fan attention and free meals, while also working the greatest job in America: backup quarterback. While Carson Wentz pores over game film, Foles can truly cut loose with the grateful fans of Philadelphia, since his biggest weekly responsibility is holding a clipboard.

The Raiders QB competes against his older brother David in a sales competition called "Carr Wars ." Both try to move as many pre-owned, mid-sized pickups as they can during Truck Month, aided by their sales managers, Jack Del Rio and Tony Boselli. The guy with the highest sales wins a new 4x4. Loser gets sacked.

In "Keep Portland Nurk," the Blazers center explores the city of Portland from the perspective of a seven-foot Bosnian bruiser. He’ll check out the best bike trails, the most overpriced coffee and the tastiest, most self-important vegan restaurants in the city. All the while, Nurkic struggles with self-doubt: Was his earlier basketball career better, when he was an unknown who hadn’t gone mainstream yet? Are the Blazers’ playoff chances so bad they’re good?
