The NBA is one of the most lucrative sports in the world. The world of finance associated with the league churns out insane numbers for everyone who has an interest. Recently, popular TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian also decided to partner with the NBA. Kim launched her underwear brand SKIMS and the models for the company were some of the biggest stars in the world.

From soccer to the NBA, the Kardashian sister has her eyes set on every possible avenue to take her brand to new heights. Recently, SKIMS was announced as the official underwear partner for the NBA. Only a few days later, the NBA’s commissioner Adam Silver was heard singing praises of the collaboration.
