Kris Humphries is so hell-bent on humiliating Kim Kardashian … he’s willing to screw over his team and risk the NBA championship … just to face off with her in court. As much as he deserves pity for spending just 72 days in marriage after walking down the aisle with a woman he loved and thought loved him too, he deserves spanking too for considering dumping his team for a court case.
A judge has set a May 6th trial date for Kris & Kim’s long-awaited showdown. Kim has wanted a simple divorce for nearly a year-and-a-half, but Kris wants an annulment on grounds she allegedly defrauded him, he also wants to prove her reality show is fake.
Now the problem is, Kris’ team, the Brooklyn Nets, are on track to score a spot in the 2013 Playoffs — which run from April 20th to June 20th. Since the trial could last 2-3 days … Kris has several options: 1. Settle the case BEFORE it goes to trial so he can play in the playoffs. 2. Play in Playoff games but miss the trial. It can go on without him, though it puts him at a handicap.3. Go to the trial and let his team down.
Sources close to Kris say the NBA’er has already made up his mind — if the Nets make the playoffs, and the trial falls on game days … he’ll ditch the games. Now the really stupid part; there’s no way Kris is going to win this trial. The judge will grant the divorce and Kris will get no money, because of the prenup (and the fact the marriage lasted 72 days). As for what Kris will risk … his 2-year, $24 million contract. [TMZ]
