Deon. Jaymails aka jayjay and deon are on the Kartrashian payroll so they’re like puppets who just do what thge. Trash family wants them to do.

I hope humphries will be taken in. He is playing but is willing to give that up to represent Usa.

Lamar is unemployed so he is begging tO become part of the USA team. Lamar clicks with the trashy family because he is like a dog that would when the trash family wants to.

Hey, he was asked a question, and he ANSWERED the question that he would be HONORED. Don’t you guys realize that a lot of pro bb players won’t play for the Olympics cause they don’t want to risk injury and being out of a job.

Kris would risk his career for the opportunity to play. Deron Williams, star point guard for the Nets, will only play in the Olympics if he has a contract signed with a team in case he gets hurt.

Kris is a good guy. Don’t believe all the garbage the Kardashians release about him. They have a “machine” (mamma) who cranks out stories on a daily basis. .

Kris,you proved you can play and play even better under enormous stress,and that my friends is what lamar refused to do.dallas mavs and fans deserved more..TEAM KRIS ALL THE WAY BABY!!!

He only wanted ppl to believe he was under stress. He was more concerned about Myla than Kim leaving him and being heartbroken. Which I don’t think he knows the meaning ogg.

Could not have said it better. If anyone deserves to play for the US of A it is Kris H. Lamar should not be included this year at all.

How many times do I have to say this…
HE IS NOT AN ALLSTAR

HE DID NOT MAKE TOP DEFENSIVE 1st, 2nd, or 3rd TEAM!

HE HAD ALOT OF REBOUNDS BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE NETS… I REPEAT NETS!!!

HE IS NOT A TOP 10 POWER FORWARD, SMALL FORWARD, OR CENTER IN THIS LEAGUE!!

Realistically, How can he make the US Olympic team??? Stop sucking him off because you guys hate Kim Kardashian!

Thankyou. I agree totally.

Kris is not a top 10 power forward but he is ranked 14th in the league. That makes him better than over 100 other players. Kris is not an All Star but he is very strong, plays with heart and hustle and not afraid to contest shots. He is ranked the 7th best shot blocker as a power forward. Kris does have some weakness in his game than prevents him from being considered an all star player. But once he works on some of his weaknesses he is has the potential to become a great player. These are just facts and not because anyone hates Kim Kardashian.

Kris Humphries is one of the top 5 rebounders in the NBA and is among the top 10 players that averaged double double this season. I don’t think he will make the Olympic team but he is a very talented player who has not lived up to his full potential in the NBA based on his successes in high school and college. This season, he showed that he is mentally tough as he was able perform at a very high standard despite the many distractions. I wish Hump the very best in his career and I look forward to seeing him play next season.

Jayjay and Janet, I agree with you both 100%.

Nice little matchy, matchy outfit he has on it goes well with his Louis Vitton handbag. It truly shows that before Kim he never knew about Louis Vitton and is he aware that Kanye designs with them. There are alot of other players that would deserve to go to the olympics rather than him. He’s not looking to represent our country. He’s looking to see what lucritive deals that would come with it. Oh good God i hope he’s not even considered.

Ok kim kardashian you’re superficiality is too obvious

I would boycot the Olympics if that idiot played. He sure thinks highly of himself. Is he now trying to rain on Lamar’s parade. he disgusts me. This guy was never heartbroken he was just wallet broken.

You’re more disgusting Khloe kardashian together with tour negro husband you both go to hell together with your money scheming family

Like Lamar showed us anything this year. He was a cry baby because he got traded. Went over to Dallas and sulked like a spoiled brat. Not a team player.
