20 NBA players who have appeared on reality TV shows

Although we know and love Lamar Odom from his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, we also enjoyed his stint on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, where he married Khloé Kardashian, and their spin-off, Khloé & Lamar, where they discussed fertility issues and Lamar's relationship with his estranged father. The six-foot-ten power forward also spent time on Season 2 of Celebrity Big Brother and placed fifth.

Another NBA player tied to the Kardashian brand is Kris Humphries. The athlete married the family's biggest star, Kim, in August 2011 in a reported $10 million wedding that was captured by E! cameras for the bride's reality show. The only downside was that things went sour 72 days later, and on October 31, Kim filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

You're missing out if you haven't watched Victor Oladipo's highlights from his time on The Masked Singer. The NBA All-Star said putting "smiles on people's faces" was "nothing but a blessing" for him.

After Cliff Robinson's NBA career, the former Pistons player appeared on Season 28 of Survivor. He described himself as "extremely competitive;" however, the six-foot-ten ball player was eliminated fifth, placing 14th.

Scot Pollard followed his NBA peer's footsteps and joined Season 32 of Survivor, where he placed eighth after being the ninth castaway voted off of the island.

Eric Williams, who once played for the Celtics and Cavaliers, appeared in earlier seasons of Basketball Wives: Miami. At the time, he was married to Jennifer Williams, and most of their scenes featured either tense conversations about their union or explosive arguments while out at dinner.

Doug Christie has supported his wife, Jackie Christie, on Basketball Wives LA since Season 1. During a chat with VIBE, he described the show as "fantastic" and said the fans would adore his wife. 

Cedric and Shawn played for the Phoenix Suns, so who better than them to team up for a season of CBS' The Amazing Race?

Jason Maxiell is another former NBA star who filmed earlier seasons of Basketball Wives: LA, but his time on the show was clouded by his many affairs.

Ben Tankard never played an NBA game because he was injured before the start of the season. However, he was drafted, so we're counting it. With that, he and his family, who he described as the "Black Brady Bunch," filmed their reality series on Bravo, Thicker Than Water, for three seasons before it was axed. In the show's teaser, Tankard boasted about his family's three-level mansion, seven vehicles, and airplanes. "I've been poor; now I'm rich," he said. "Believe me — rich is better."

Juan Dixon of the Washington Wizards and Portland Trailblazers filmed Seasons 1 through 8 of Bravo's Real Housewives of Potomac. Throughout his run on the show, many fans dragged the former athlete over what appeared to be a lack of commitment to his wife, Robyn. Despite the fan feedback, though, he told Andy Cohen during the Season 2 reunion he has "a lot of love and support [for] Robyn" and regretted "how he handled his marriage."

Glen Rice Jr. made a brief appearance during Season 8 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but it wasn't one many were happy to see. The former NBA player was accused of assault after a night with too many drinks.

Eric Snow of the Cleveland Cavaliers filmed Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta with his then-wife, DeShawn, where they showed off their lavish mansion featuring a pool and outdoor basketball court. The pair divorced two years after the series debut in 2010.

Eddie Jordan wanted nothing to do with his then-wife, Charisse Jackson-Jordan, on The Real Housewives of Potomac. Still, the former NBA player turned league coach did film one scene in 2017 where he attended his daughter's birthday party.

We'll always tip our hats to the athletes who mask up on The Masked Singer, especially Dwight Howard, who played the Octopus during Season 8 and sang the song "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard. 

Not only does Lonzo Ball get active on the basketball court, but he can also spit a few rhymes over a funky beat. The NBA star balled out on The Masked Singer as Whatchamacallit. "I love music [and] I love performing," he said about his time on the show. "So, this kind of brought it all together."

Metta was on Season 1 of Celebrity Big Brother, and although he had no idea what he was doing, his presence in the house was enough for us to cheer him on.

What better song for Derek Fisher to show off his moves to on Dancing With the Stars than "Basketball" by Kurtis Blow?

Another NBA all-star who danced with a basketball on DWTS is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The giant danced with Lindsay Arnold, performing the cha-cha-cha and sala; however, they were eliminated in week two.
