"Will crowds boo Kris Humphries when he returns to Toronto tomorrow?"

I don't pay much attention to that sort of stuff - celebrity weddings, etc - I just remember Humphries from when he played here and he was a decent player compared with the rest of the guys. No reason to boo him now.

who's to say he wasn't legitimately in love with Kim?

I know i would fall in love with her and meet all of her demands if i had the chance, lmao.

I know it's seems like such a small, trivial thing ("Hump you're the most hated man in our league! Boo!! Boo that man! Boo! He was like....around a celebrity that's done absolutely nothing of note in arts, movies, TV, music or anything of substance...but Boo that man! Booooo!"), but I've learned to put nothing past greedy folk.

And with the amount of money at stake when you're one of the premier faces of NBA basketball who has already fallen from grace due to the summer 2010, playoffs 2010, clumsily endorsing contraction & then backtracking from it, calling out old teammates during the 10-11 season, and then failing in the same fashion in Finals 2011.....well, what better way to seek to ease one's way back in the spotlight and good graces of NBA fandom, than to give a new target to hate? Even if it's juss a roleplayer caught up in something really silly looking.

If I was goin to the NJN-Tor game on Friday, I'd cheer Hump when he's introduced and when he makes plays in the 1st Qtr, as I thought he was great in his time w/us, steadily got better each year to the point that what he's done the past few years in Dallas & NJN was absolutely expected.

Lol you really believe what you just said? Wow...

KK is a fucking no talent douche who hasn't done fuck all. I like Humph, he always played hard on and off the court and was traded.
