Philadelphia Doesn't Like Kris Humphries..Either Does Kanye West

Every time the New Jersey Nets power forward takes the floor in a city other than New Jersey he gets booed. You would think that a guy averaging nearly 14 points and 11 rebounds wouldn't attract so much hatred, but his 72 day marriage with Kim Kardashian and appearance on the Kardashian's television show has ruined his reputation.

Earlier this year I attended a Nets vs Sixers game and when Humphries was introduced he got booed badly. Every time the 6' 9'' 235 pounder had his hands on the rock, he continued to to harassed by the Philly phaithful.

Earlier this year when taking on the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden, Humphries received national attention by again being booed repeatedly. After the game Jeremy Lin came to his defense wondering why everybody is bitter towards the seven year pro.

It turns out that arenas around the country aren't the only people that dislike Kris Humphries. Rapper Kanye West tore him apart in his new hit "Way Too Cold"

West admitted that he fell in love with Kim Kardashian around the time when she became attracted to Humphries.

West states in the song:


And I'll admit, I fell in love with Kim 
'Round the same time she had fell in love wit' him 
Well, that's cool, baby girl, do ya thing 
Lucky I ain't have Jay drop 'I'm from the team 


West's best friend and collabaration partner (Watch The Throne), Jay-Z is the partial owner of the New Jersey Nets, who are moving to Brooklyn next season. Apparently Kanye believes he can say whatever and do whatever he pleases. Even if it's making a basketball move for the Nets franchise. Fortunately for Humphries, Kanye didn't pursue the issue and Jay-Z didn't get rid one of the better players on the Nets roster because of some women who can't decide which man she wants in her life.
