For those wondering why I asked Kris Humphries to do Ask Hump! consider the scene the other day when I wandered into the Raptors locker room. Hump and Hassan Adams are on hand and Jay is making some remark to Hump, in jest. I didn't quite catch it, something about reading. Anyway, Adams is killing himself laughing. Hump pops off with: "Don't give him a courtesy laugh just 'cause he's the head coach now. You wouldn't be laughing three weeks ago." Then Jay starts laughing. The Hump, er, Big Sexy, is funny.
Anway, on with the show. We got quite a few good questions, but didn't have time for all of them, but I will try to get to them next time. And these things kind of meander, so even the questions asked don't always get answered. But enjoy.
From Jenn:
I'm wondering about Hump's background: I recall reading somewhere that his father was a College (pro?) football player [FD: college, offensive lineman at the University of Minnesota] and that his mother was an amateur athlete as well (swimming?). Is that accurate? What are the details [FD: Not sure about Moms], and did he consider any other sports besides basketball during his formative athletic years? Any other ahtletes in the family [FD: sister swam at the University of Texas]?
Hump: I grew up swimming and I played football and baseball in middle school, but I stopped all that and played just basketball in high school.
FD: You didn't think about playing football in high school?
Hump: Nah.
Moon: You're too tall man.
Hump: [Ignoring Moon] Basketball was more of a challenge. I was good but not as dominant as as I was in swimmming [FD: As of three years ago, when I did this story , Hump still held records for age group swimming]. I was good at baseball.
FD: Could you have played pro in other sports?
Hump: I think I could have been a pro swimmer [?] if I stuck with that. I was good, but I stopped when I was 12. I could have played football too, because I'm pretty athletic and I have good hands. Baseball? Hard to tell. Hitting is weird, you never know. Moon thinks he could be a quarterback.
Moon: Wide receiver!
Hump: You're not fast enough
Moon: What!!! I'm ain't fast enough?!?
Hump: No.
Moon: Man. You're out of here.
Hump: Moon, I know like six guys on this team faster than you. Starting with me.
Moon: I can guarantee you aren't one of them.
Hump: Bet?
Moon: How much you want to bet?
Hump: What you got? We'll bet who can run a mile faster.
Moon: A mile?!?
FD: A mile?!?
Moon: I thought we were racing
Hump: Go run a mile!
Moon: A mile. Football players don't run miles.
Hump: See! Exactly. I found a weakness. Next question.
So are these questions for Kris supposed to be basketball related? Cause I'm sure I speak for all of the ladies out there who are wondering whether Kris Humphries is single or not. If he doesn't want to answer that, at least ask him who he thinks is the best dressed guy on the team.
Thanks,
Jenn
Hump: I am single. And the best dressed guy on the team?
Moon: You're crazy, dawg.
Hump: I would have to say Roko Ukic.
FD: That's not true.
Hump: What?
FD: He's not the best-dressed guy on the team.
Hump: Yeah he is.
FD: No he's not.
Hump: Why are you saying that?
FD: I'm just saying he's not the best dressed guy on the team.
Hump: Who's the best dressed guy?
FD: It's not Roko.
Hump: It ain't Moon.
Graham: [in a Barry White voice] It's Joe Geezy.
Hump: Nah, it ain't Geezy.
Graham: That's why you all....[can't quite hear]
Hump: Nate Jawai! Nate Jawai!
FD:Anthony Parker?
