If Kim Kardashian played basketball: small forward, rated 75

Kim Kardashian as a basketball player: scouting report

Kim Kardashian turned reality television fame into a business career, launching the clothing brand SKIMS in 2019 and growing it into a major name in fashion. That kind of strategic thinking is why she plays small forward as a cerebral wing. Her basketball IQ is the top mark on her card and her defense comes next, so she reads the play early, stays disciplined on closeouts and rarely bites on a pump fake.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians ran for twenty seasons, and anyone who spends that long with cameras following every move learns to stay composed with an audience watching; she will not rattle in a hostile arena. Her mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, became a hit in 2014, so she understands how players think about a game. Her athleticism grades out well, which matches her ability to move her feet on defense, and her passing is solid enough to keep the ball moving. Her jumper is the weaker part of her offense, so she scores more off cuts, transition and smart reads than off the dribble.

Rebounding is the honest weak spot and the lowest mark on her card. She is a perimeter defender who wants to stay attached to her player, not wrestle under the rim, so she needs a big who controls the boards. Point guard and shooting guard are both a small step down, which makes her a flexible wing for the middle and later rounds. Pair her with a shooting guard who can carry the scoring and a physical center, and give her the other team's best perimeter scorer.

Plays like A savvy, disciplined wing defender who rarely gets caught
