Kris Humphries Voted Most Disliked Player in the NBA... huh?

So apparently there was a survey conducted by Nielsen and E-Poll Market Research that appeared on Forbes.com asking who the most was the most disliked player in the NBA. The answer, somewhat surprisingly was Kris Humphries, who is best known for being Kim Kardashian's ex-husband. I was a little bit surprised by this one. Granted, I've never seen his show and I probably couldn't pick him or Kim Kardashian out of a lineup, so maybe that's why I just don't get it.

It just seems weird that a guy who's only started 52 games in his 8 year career, and plays for the New Jersey Nets is suddenly the league's most disliked player. Who votes on these things? Honestly, if you mention Humphries and NBA, Kris Humphries isn't even the first name that pops into my head. My default is to former Milwaukee Buck Jay Humphries. Kris Humphries is barely even on my radar.

So who should be the most disliked player? Here's some better candidates for you.

1) LeBron James - For taking his talents to South Beach.



2) Metta World Peace - Not even a name change can change the fact that he's still the Ron Artest that fought fans in the stands in Detroit. You can throw Stephen Jackson in here too.



3) Andrew Bynum - Big tough guy who was ejected for a brutal flagrant foul while down 30 points in the Western Conference Semis against the smallest guy on the court, JJ Barea.



4) Darko Mlicic - Not his fault, but the Pistons drafted him ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.

5) Gilbert Arenas - Not on a team right now, but the guy was involved in an incident with former teammate Javaris Crittenton where the two allegedly pulled guns on one another in the Wizards locker room.

Here's how the people in the poll ended up voting:
