On Season 8 of Basketball Wives, while Shaunie O’Neal deals with their 6’9″ college basketball player son Shareef O’Neal (UCLA Bruins) as he gets open heart surgery, Jackie Christie deals with an empty nest. Her son with retired 6’6″ NBA basketball player Doug Christie, Doug Christie, Jr., is heading to college.

After playing high school ball at Granite Bay in Sacramento, the so-far 6’1″ guard is headed to Folsom Lake College, a new community college in Folsom, California, just 24 miles from Sacramento. Christie Jr. says he’ll playing for the Falcons for the next two years. The school was founded in 2004, and began its own athletic program in 2010. Fun fact: UFC professional mixed martial artist Aspen Ladd, 24, is also a student at Folsom Lake College.
Basketball Wives airs Wednesdays at 9 pm on VH1, right before its spin-off Tami Ever After, starring BW star Tami Roman and her new husband Reggie Youngblood.
