BASKETBALL STARS'S WIVES LA LA ANTHONY AND VANESSA BRYANT HIT THE TOWN!

No men? No problem ... at least for Vanessa Bryant and La La Anthony ... who took some time away from their famous husbands last night for a basketball wives dinner date in L.A. ... and TMZ has the footage.

The two hit up Madeo in West Hollywood -- without Kobe Bryant or Carmelo Anthony -- and after the meal, they posed up for photogs who snapped away like crazy.

So, are there actual NBA implications from the dinner date? Well, Carmelo becomes a free agent after this upcoming season ... and the Bryants could be trying to woo Carmelo away from NY and sign on with the Lakers.

It's not an impossible situation -- after all, Carmelo did tell TMZ he owns a pair of purple and gold shoes.



Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa Bryant, left, and Carmelo Anthony’s wife Lala Vazquez, right, met each other for a glamorous ladies night out at Madeo Restaurant in Los Angeles, Calif., on Wednesday night. The ladies dined with singer Kelly Rowland, who was oddly dressed down in a maxi dress and platform sneakers.
