 Kris
Humphries is the 6'9" incredibly handsome basketballer who was married
to media slut Kim Kardashian for 72 days in 2011. What in the world
possessed him to marry that public embarrassment? Oh well, something
tells me he won't have any trouble getting a date. Just don't ever
give a woman another 20.5 carat $2 million dollar engagement ring.
Humphries was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Debra Humphries
and William Humphries, a former football player for the University of Minnesota.
He is of mixed ethnicity -- his father is African-American and his mother
is Caucasian. His first success in sports came in competitive swimming,
where he was the top 10 year old in the nation in 6 events, second only
to a young Michael
Phelps in the remaining events. Kris Humphries still holds the US national
record for the 50M and 100M freestyle for 10 and under boys. At age 12 he
gave up swimming to pursue a promising career in basketball.
Humphries
attended Hopkins High School, where he enjoyed an impressive basketball
career. In 2002 he led them to a 25-2 record and its first Minnesota state
championship in 49 years. He was subsequently named a 2003 McDonald's All-American
and named Second Team All-USA by USA Today. He was also named to the Super
25 Basketball Team by USA Today, named Minnesota Mr. Basketball, and state
player of the year by the Minneapolis Star Tribune and College Basketball
News. He was one of 10 finalists for the 2003 Naismith Prep Player of the
Year Award, averaging a double double in his final three seasons, averaging
25.7 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists a game as a senior.
Coming
out of high school, Humphries accepted a scholarship offer to Duke University,
but later reconsidered and attended the University of Minnesota instead.
At Minnesota, Humphries was named 2004 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and
was also named to the All-Big Ten First Team by the media and coaches. He
was named Honorable Mention All-America by the Associated Press and by Rivals.com.
He was the first freshman to lead the Big Ten in scoring and rebounding
in the same season. He scored in double figures in all 29 games, with 16
point/rebound double-doubles on the season for Minnesota. He averaged 21.7
points and 10.1 rebounds (both tops in the Big Ten), while shooting .444
percent from the field and .742 from the line. On February 18, 2004 he set
a school record with 36 points at Indiana. He also set a school record for
most points by a freshman for a season with 629. He became the first Big
Ten freshman to be named conference Player of the Week in two of the first
three weeks of the season.
Humphries was drafted by the Utah Jazz
in 2004 as the 14th pick. He spent two seasons with the Jazz, averaging
3.6 ppg and 2.7 rpg in 11.6 minutes per game. On June 8, 2006, Humphries
was traded along with Robert Whaley to the Raptors. In the 2006-07 season, after a slow start in which he did not
receive many minutes from Raptors coach Sam Mitchell, Humphries proved to
be a valuable rebounder and energy player and contributed to the Raptors
capturing their first ever division title. On March 28, 2007, he grabbed
seven offensive rebounds in 27 minutes against the Miami Heat, both a game-high
and a career-high. He followed up this performance with nine offensive and
18 total rebounds in a win against the Detroit Pistons on April 13, 2007,
again both game and career-highs. Humphries concluded his inaugural season
with the Raptors with a career-high 3.1 rpg and .470 field goal percentage,
as well as 3.8 ppg.
On July 9, 2009, Humphries, Shawn Marion and
Nathan Jawai were traded to the Dallas Mavericks as a part of the four-team
deal among Raptors, Mavericks, Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies. On January
11, 2010 the Mavericks traded Humphries along with G/F Shawne Williams to
the New Jersey Nets. On January
27, 2010, Humphries scored a career-high 25 points against the Los Angeles
Clippers. He previously recorded career highs of 15 and 21 points respectively
as a New Jersey Net. The 2011 season was a breakout season for Humphries
as he averaged a double-double in points and rebounds. |
