Draya was brought on to Basketball Wives… Guess what? I liked her. No idea she was Gilbert’s jump-off. I had no idea until I was going through some papers at the house and saw that he had given her $25,000 and brought her to LA.

I remember calling my friend and telling her to pick up my kids for me… I remember going to Hollywood where she was filming downstreet. I remember showing up and I wasn’t supposed to be filming. I walked passed everybody and I beat the fu*k out of her.

Most know Laura Govan as a Television personality and for her high-profile relationship with former NBA star Gilbert Arenas. However, many do not know about the hooping backstory of Govan. Govan was a well-known hooper in high school and revealed details about her basketball career. She spoke about the same on the podcast with Carlos King.

Govan told King that she was the leading scorer in the State of California during her time, and even went on to play basketball overseas. She would go on to coach her daughter and her son Alijah, a 5-star upcoming basketball phenom.

Her endeavors in basketball would also lead her to meet Arenas during her time in the Public Relations dept. of the Sacramento Kings. Safe to say, Laura Govan knows the ins and outs of the Hoop World better than most.
