Kim Kardashian has made a name for herself as a reality TV queen and business powerhouse, but now it seems the basketball court might be calling her. In a recent interview with Complex, Kardashian hinted at the possibility of owning a WNBA team, linking her passion for women’s sports with her vision for SKIMS.
She didn’t give away all the details, but her comments suggest she’s seriously considering how she could make a mark in professional basketball.
Kim Kardashian Hints at Buying a WNBA Team
During a chat with Breeana Walker from Complex News, Kardashian said, “I have thought about it, yeah and I think it would be such an interesting opportunity. Anything I can do to, I think especially to fight the women in sports. My dream girls to wear the collection are the WNBA girls. But ya it has crossed my mind.”
She made it clear that owning a team wouldn’t just be a business move but would be about supporting women in sports. Kardashian has always pictured WNBA players wearing her SKIMS brand as a symbol of strength and style. She also shared her passion for sports and her goal of helping female athletes get the spotlight they deserve.
SKIMS is the official underwear partner for the NBA, WNBA, and USA Basketball. The brand shows up on broadcasts, in digital campaigns, and in ads featuring some of the biggest names in basketball.
When asked if she had a specific team in mind, Kardashian said, “I am a West Coast girl. So, West Coast vibes over there,” hinting that she might focus on a West Coast team if she decides to take the leap.
Kardashian’s Growing Connection With the WNBA
Kardashian’s love for women’s basketball goes beyond business. SKIMS launched a 2024 ad campaign featuring rising star Cameron Brink, retired three-time WNBA champion Candace Parker, and stars Kelsey Plum, Skylar Diggins-Smith, and DiJonai Carrington. The campaign hit right before the 2024 WNBA season, showing her commitment to celebrating women in sports.
In October 2023, SKIMS officially partnered with the NBA, WNBA, and USA Basketball. The deal includes on-court virtual signage, digital campaigns, and promotions with top athletes, highlighting inclusivity and style.
Kardashian has also made her WNBA fandom clear. In a clip shared by Self Magazine, she named the Las Vegas Aces as her favorite WNBA team, matching her West Coast preference. With a $1.7 billion net worth and a history of bold moves, Kardashian could bring big energy to the WNBA.
Whether through team ownership, campaigns, or support for female athletes, Kardashian looks ready to make a real mark on women’s basketball.
