Kim Kardashian’s Sharp Jab at Kelsey Mitchell Stings After MVP Snub..
Reality TV icon and die-hard Las Vegas Aces fan Kim Kardashian couldn’t resist a celebratory dig amid the WNBA playoffs’ feverish intensity, taking aim at Indiana Fever star Kelsey Mitchell just days after Mitchell’s heartbreaking MVP loss.
Kardashian, whose loyalty to the Aces runs deeper than her SKIMS empire—ironically, the brand that signed Mitchell to a lucrative endorsement deal last year—unleashed the shade on social media following the Aces’ gritty Game 2 comeback win over the Fever on Thursday. With A’ja Wilson, the newly crowned four-time MVP, dropping 28 points to even the semifinals series at 1-1, Kardashian posted a courtside selfie captioned: “Aces own the court, A’ja owns the MVP. Sorry, Kelsey—better luck next season? #AcesBaby #WNBAFinalsBound.” The post, racking up over 2 million likes in hours, featured a subtle side-eye emoji aimed squarely at Mitchell, who torched the Aces for 32 points in their Game 1 upset victory but faltered with turnovers in the loss.
The jab landed like a crossover dribble, igniting backlash from Fever faithful. “Kim’s saltier than her ex’s alimony checks,” tweeted one fan, referencing Mitchell’s league-leading 111 three-pointers and her franchise-record 890 points—stats that screamed MVP contender but fell short to Wilson’s dominant triple-double average. Mitchell, ever the class act, brushed it off post-game: “Talk is cheap; buckets win games. Congrats to A’ja—she earned it.”
Kardashian’s history of courtside flair dates back to the Aces’ 2023 championship, where she hobnobbed with stars like Wilson. But this MVP-timed zinger? Pure pettiness, say critics, especially after Mitchell’s “MVP Mitchell” hype from teammate Caitlin Clark. As the series heads to Indiana for Game 3, one thing’s clear: off-court drama is heating up faster than the playoffs. Will Kim’s words fuel Mitchell’s fire, or is it just another Kardashian headline grab? Stay tuned—these queens play for keeps.
