Congratulations are in order for the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Durant!
This must be the summer of love. With LeBron and Savannah preparing for a lavish wedding weekend this September, Amar’e Stoudemire tying the knot to the mother of his children Alexis and Dwayne Wade acknowledging his beautiful Black queen Gabrielle Union on national television, there must be something special brewing up in those locker rooms. Or perhaps the fellas have been getting relationship advice from the happily married all-star point guard Chris Paul. Next up to the altar? Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant has also popped the question. His fiancé and WNBA player, Monica Wright, of the Minnesota Lynx confirmed their engagement last Sunday after her team’s victory over Phoenix Mercury. The two ballers — both from the Washington, DC area — were known for their close friendship after meeting for the first time in the McDonalds High School All-American in 2006, however there weren’t any major signs of a romantic relationship recorded by the media. What a coincidence that Durant is engaged to a Monica Wright. This also happens to be the name of the same character played by actresse Sanaa Lathan in the beloved motion picture Love & Basketball. Could Durant be the real Quincy McCall many of us fantasized about after watching the cult classic film? Stay tuned to Triple B for more deets on this beautiful couple’s big day.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
And yet people continue to say Black male professional athletes don’t date Black women. They make a gorgeous couple. I wish them the best. Thank you BBB for taking the time to showcase these stories.

@Anon #1: I greatly appreciate your feedback. Images are far more powerful than most people realize and we all have so many rich stories to tell. Others have told the stories of Black women for far too long. Triple B is much bigger than weddings.
Peace, love & blessings to this couple. Black Love is beautiful & powerful, as is all love. We need more!
@SD – Thanks, as always, for the positive feedback!
Beautiful couple, wishing them a lifetime of happiness.
