*Update* Humphries Take a jab at Kanye West after re-signing with Nets
Despite being voted as the most disliked player in the NBA in a Forbes fan poll, mostly due to his high-profile yet short -lived marriage to Kim Kardashian, Humphries was one of eight players to average a double-double for 2011-2012 season with averages of 13.8 ppg and 11 rpg.
Humphries re-joins a Nets team along with Deron Williams, Gerald Wallace, recently acquired G/F Joe Johnson and European forward Mirza Teletovic to give the franchise a core that on paper should contend for a playoff spot in the East in their first season in Brooklyn.
Humphries was originally drafted 14th overall in 2004 by the Utah Jazz after his freshman season at Minnesota. For his career, Humphries has averaged 6.7 ppg and 5.5 rpg in eight seasons with the Jazz, Raptors, Mavericks and Nets.
