Hump and Dash ... steppin' out

If you're only a "casual" NBA basketball fan, or if you don't watch Hoops at all, you may not know who Kris Humphries is.

However, if you're into celebrity news and Hollywood gossip, you may NOW know who Kris Humphries is!

He's Kim Kardashian's newest arm candy, and he's been playing out of his MIND for the New Jersey Nets ever since he started checkin' her.  Is there a connection between the relationship and Hump's improved on-court performance?   Who knows.  And who really cares?  I just think it's funny that a guy like Kris Humphries is getting so much publicity as of late!  Dude seems to be taking it all in stride, though.  And as long as he keeps playing great basketball, it's all good with me ... Hump is a member of my NBA Fantasy Basketball team, so yes, I have a vested interest!

According to online sources, the two linked up last summer when Kim was in NYC filming her popular reality series Kourtney and Kim Take New York.  

KK has a history of dating professional athletes.  She was involved in a long-term relationship with New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, and also briefly dated Dallas Cowboys receiver Miles Austin.

Here's an example of some on-court damage that Hump has dished out this season:
