Remember Kris Humphries? After his marriage to Kim, nobody else does either.
Sorry Kris for bringing up the 72 day E! channel marketing scheme, oops! I mean marriage again, but we are trying to save a Lakers season here.
I bet half of you don’t even know who Kris Humphries is. I’ll bet you even less know that he wasn’t that bad a player. He was even a lottery pick of the Utah Jazz back in 2004, being selected 14th.
It was when Humphries was with the Nets when he met Kim Kardashian. Then their love affair played out over two reality shows, not including the marriage episode. The marriage ended on Halloween of all days.
It seems that the marriage really affected Humphries. He was considered one of the most hated NBA players that season.
"“There was about a year where I was in a dark place. I didn’t want to leave my home. You feel like … I don’t know … the whole world hates you, but they don’t even know why,” he wrote. “They don’t even know you at all. They just recognize your face, and they’re on you.”"
You know things are bad when you try to pass yourself off as Blake Griffin.
"“I’d say, ‘Ha! Nah, I just look like him.’ Or I’d say, ‘Nah, I’m Blake Griffin. People get us confused,”"
Soon after the divorce, Humphries was traded to the Boston Celtics in the Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce trade. He ended up retiring in 2017.
Well Lakers fans, there you have it. Players that have been allegedly hit by the Kardashian curse. Some don’t believe it but it has gone to mythical proportions like the “Madden Curse”. Are Kyle Kuzma and the Lakers in trouble? Let me know in the comment section.
