Former “Mr. Kardashian” Kris Humphries Booed at First Nets Game

Former "Mr. Kardashian" Kris Humphries Booed at First Nets Game

The Washington Wizards fans greeted Kris Humphries relentlessly with boos when he was first introduced. Kris Humphries is famous for his short lived-72 day, grandiose-$10 million marriage to Kim Kardashian. Maybe the fans were ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’.

The booing reached its peak when Humphries was about to attempt a free throw in the first quarter, then turned to cheers when his shot clanged off the front of the rim. Fans also applauded and shouted approval when Humphries was whistled for fouls.

Humphries ignored all the attention and finished with 21 points and 16 rebounds, helping New Jersey erase a 21-point deficit and come all the way back to beat Washington 90-84 in the season opener for both teams.

“To me, it’s motivation. People are yelling at you–you’ve got to perform, you’ve got to play hard. They might want to have a reason to say something. You want to try and give them that reason,” Humphries said. “For me, it’s just makes it a little hostile environment–and it’s kind of fun to play in that environment.”

Nets coach Avery Johnson, couldn’t figure out why people were yelling and booing at Humphries. He said that it may be because he doesn’t follow reality TV.
