Kim Kardashian’s son Saint West’s love for basketball goes deep
As quirky as the little one was on the court, he delivered big time, managing to sneak past his defenders, scoring 3-pointers while evidently having a blast.

His exposure to big league sports events isn’t limited to basketball, as he has previously also won the ultimate VIP opportunity of escorting the soccer GOAT Lionel Messi at the Inter Miami vs L.A. Galaxy match in February.
The young baller is Kim and Kanye’s oldest son. The former couple also share North (11), Chicago (6) and Psalm (5).
