Much like their names, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian’s little moguls have some of the most individualistic personalities. While the world knows all about North West’s unfiltered and unruffled demeanor, clearly inherited from her old man, Ye, the other kids have not quite stepped into the spotlight yet. Nonetheless, the son of these influential parents, Saint West, is currently setting the internet on fire with his basketball skills at the tender age of just eight. 

Before the internet's attention shifts from North to Saint, here is everything one needs to know about this athletic prodigy who is making his parents beam with pride every other day.

Kim Kardashian and Ye's second child and eldest son, Saint West, completes their family alongside daughters North West, Chicago West, as well as their little one, Psalm West. The SKIMS owner often treats her followers to endearing snapshots of their family moments, particularly with Saint, whom she lovingly nicknamed Sainty. Despite his young age, the eight-year-old has already immersed himself in basketball and has also secured a spot on the All-Star team.

Saint's passion for sports has been evident on multiple occasions- from his memorable walkout alongside football champ Lionel Messi at an Inter Miami game to his soccer-themed eighth birthday extravaganza and meeting his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. He is also affiliated with the Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy in Los Angeles, where he has brushed his skills and participated in many games. Recently, the little basketball genius achieved another milestone by contributing to his team's victory.

Kim Kardashian recently took to her Instagram stories to share clips of Saint West's latest basketball game. The first two clips featured him confidently sinking shots from well beyond the 3-point line. However, the real excitement unfolded in the third video. As Saint's teammate passed him the ball, he faced a bunch of defenders. Yet, fueled by the cheers of his teammates, Saint dribbled down the court, effortlessly maneuvering past his opponents.

He pulled off an Allen Iverson-esque crossover maneuver before confidently launching a shot from beyond the arc. And the ball effortlessly found its way through the net as well. But it was Saint's celebration of his winning shot that stole the show. "My baby got the game winning shot at the buzzer," The Kardashians star proudly declared in the video she uploaded. It has been quite some time since a member of their clan left a mark in sports, and it appears that Saint might just be the one to break the norm with his talent.
