Ahead of the new season, UConn Huskies star Kamorea Arnold has launched her second annual KK Arnold Basketball Camp to teach kids about basketball. The Huskies star is often compared to Kyrie Irving, whose net worth is around $90 million as per Celebrity Net Worth, because of her flashy playstyle. During the camp, the kids she was teaching received a special gift from the Dallas Mavericks star.
In a video she posted on her Instagram Stories, Kamorea Arnold, or KK, shouted out Kyrie Anthony and sportswear brand Anta for sending them some brand new sneakers, which they gave away to the kids who joined the basketball camp.
“Huge shoutout to Kyrie Irving and Anta for hookis us up with some fresh Kyrie Antas, thank you!” she said in her Instagram story.
She held her basketball camp in her hometown of Germantown, Wisconsin, using it as a platform to launch the next generation of student athletes from her hometown. She grew up there, playing for Germantown High School and winning the Gatorade Girls Basketball Player of the Year Award in her high school days.
The basketball camp is only held for one day at her alma mater, Germantown High School, with those kids attending having to hone their skills, physical conditioning and more. They will also get a free camp T-shirt and a photo with the UConn star, as well as one autographed item.

This is especially big for Arnold, who is still fresh off her national title win with the Huskies last April. This is now her first camp as a national champion.
Kamorea Arnold Talks About Giving Back to Her Community in Germantown, Wisconsin
When she launched her basketball camp last year, it was widely praised by the community, as KK Arnold is now considered a hometown hero. She spoke with a local Fox affiliate what giving back to her community meant.
“It means a lot just giving back to little kids because I was once in their shoes, so just being able to come back and give back and do little stuff that I was doing at this age with them, just having fun and showing them the game of basketball is much more than it really is,” she said in 2024.
Several kids attended the camp, all of whom were excited to get taught by a hometown legend, with many kids saying that it was really “cool” to be trained by her and that the camp itself was a fun experience.
