Kris Humphries #43 of the New Jersey Nets dribbles the ball as Toney Douglas #23 of the New York Knicks defends during their pre season game at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21, 2011 in NYC
*Kris Humphries was booed by the 20,000-strong crowd at New York’s Madison Square Garden Wednesday night as he returned to the basketball court for the first time since splitting from Kim Kardashian.
“Hump” was a free agent during the summer before signing an $8 million deal this week to return to his New Jersey Nets team – and he admitted his time with the 31-year-old socialite had been a “learning experience.”
When asked what was different when he was last with the team in April, he said: “Well, there is a lot less paparazzi here. I definitely had a lot going on. It was a learning experience. I hadn’t been through anything like that before.
“Life just happens. As long as you’re focused and pay attention to life, everything is easier. I learned that I put my faith in God, my family and basketball. I feel now like I’m home again.”
Kris said he’s “glad to be back” in New Jersey, despite suffering an 88-82 loss to the New York Knicks.
He added: “I’m excited to be back. It’s good to see the guys again. Although it’s a one-year deal, I’m happy and motivated. I think if you ask any player, they all would want a max contract with the longest terms. But I’m happy with the deal and glad to be back.”
White people booed him like that. They are the ONLY ones that care about this. Kris is a nobody in the NBA (average player). Him being married to Kim is the ONLY reason why he is even being talked about. Prior to that the average person that doesn’t follow basketball wouldn’t even know who he is. Let that man live. Enjoy your career and your money.
Were they booing him because his marriage to Kim K only lasted 72 days??? I did not understand the reasoningbehind the jeers. Anyway, I have never heard of Kris Humphries until he started dating/married the whole Kardashian clan LOL I feel Kris got caught up in the Kardashian reality machine. I wish him the best in his b-ball career.
babycakes that is ONLY REASON HE WAS BEING BOOED. He’s not a star player whatsoever and he barely plays.
