Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> forward Kyle Kuzma is betting big that LA will change its ways.<\/p>\n

Kuzma added some intrigue to next week\u2019s nonpartisan primary, placing a $36,000 bet that former “The Hills” reality star Spencer Pratt will pull off an upset victory and become the next mayor of Los Angeles. With the June 2 vote just days away, Kuzma, who won a championship with the Lakers in 2020, is backing Pratt\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n

When criticized for throwing his support behind Pratt, Kuzma responded on X: “LA has been cooked since Covid what am I missing lol.”<\/p>\n

Kuzma, 30, was drafted by the Lakers and spent four seasons with the franchise.<\/p>\n

For voters frustrated with the status quo, Spencer Pratt has positioned himself as an outsider candidate promising changes to local government and a tougher approach to public safety.<\/p>\n

Since launching his campaign, Pratt has also received support from President Trump and Lakers minority owner Jeanie Buss.<\/p>\n

Pratt launched his campaign in January<\/a> after losing his Pacific Palisades home in the 2025 wildfires.<\/p>\n

Frustrated with city leadership and emergency response failures, Pratt entered the race determined to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pratt has continued to gain traction by tapping into voter frustration over crime, city spending and Los Angeles\u2019 ongoing homelessness crisis<\/a>. But rather than fading as a novelty candidate, Pratt has continued drawing attention with his unique campaign style and repeated criticism of City Hall.<\/p>\n

Pratt has routinely targeted Bass, mockingly referring to her as “Karen Basura” while criticizing what he describes as failed progressive policies that have contributed to the city\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n

While attending the Ronda Rousey-Gina Carano event at the Intuit Dome<\/a>, Pratt spoke with OutKick about his campaign and reform plans.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m going to make LA safe,” Pratt said.<\/p>\n
