<p>Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is getting dunked on by former Los Angeles Laker Kyle Kuzma, who is having a &#8220;Pratt Summer.&#8221;</p>
<p>The NBA player is putting his money where he hopes common sense is and placing a big bet on Spencer Pratt to win the Los Angeles mayoral race.</p>
<p>Kuzma, who won the NBA championship with the LA Lakers in 2020, posted on <a href="https://x.com/kylekuzma/status/2058970366039527711?s=20">X</a> over the weekend his bet slip, which showed the current Milwaukee Bucks power forward put more than $36,000 on Pratt to win, with the payout being $133,588.89 if the former reality star beats incumbent Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.</p>
<p>Kalshi has Bass as the favorite with a 70% chance of winning, with Pratt at 28% and Raman a distant third at 5.9% as of Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>&#8220;For my parlay papis I’m going big on Spencer Pratt,&#8221; Kuzma wrote beside an American flag emoji.</p>
<p>To the haters in the replies, Kuzma <a href="https://x.com/kylekuzma/status/2058986018296963082">responded</a> with this: &#8220;LA has been cooked since Covid what am I missing lol.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kuzma isn’t a stranger to LA. He played for the Lakers from 2017 to 2021, which included the pandemic. And despite being engaged to fashion model Winnie Harlow, who is signed to CAA out of Los Angeles, Kuzma chooses to spend the off-season in Florida, not the “Golden State.”</p>
<p>The NBA star doubled down on his Pratt for LA stance Tuesday, sharing a long-form interview Pratt did on the &#8220;All-In&#8221; podcast recently, where the outsider discusses LA’s rampant homelessness, corruption, and lack of leadership.</p>
<p>Kuzma captioned the <a href="https://x.com/kylekuzma/status/2059257100279107769?s=20">video</a>, &#8220;Good watch when you have the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pratt is a registered Republican, though he is running as an independent.</p>
<p>Kuzma isn’t the only person with ties to the Lakers who is all in on &#8220;The Hills&#8221; star. Jeanie Buss, the Lakers&#8217; minority owner and current governor, made the max donation of $1,800 to Pratt’s campaign last month.</p>
<p>Despite her contributions, Buss hasn’t publicly endorsed Pratt, according to <a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/lakers-jeanie-buss-la-mayoral-race-spencer-pratt">Fox 11.</a> But like her former player, her money is doing the talking.</p>
<p>Pratt has <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-05-22/spencer-pratt-leads-field-in-mayoral-campaign-contributions">reportedly</a> raised $2.72 million between April 19 and May 16, per statements obtained by the Los Angeles Times, moving his total to $3.26 million in contributions. Current Mayor Bass reported only $283,000 during that same period, boosting her total to $3.13 million. As of May 16, Raman hasn&#8217;t hit the $1 million mark in contributions.</p>
<p>Election Day for Los Angeles is on Tuesday, June 2. The latest odds predict a run-off in November between Bass and Pratt.</p>
