"FacebookPinterest\n\n By the time you read this, the San Antonio Spurs will have self-destructed after the National Enquirer reveals that Tony Parker has been sending racy texts to coach Gregg Popovich's wife. Ponytailed Chicago big man Joakim Noah will have dominated Dwight Howard. And 39-year-old Shaquille O'Neal will be collecting Finals MVP.\n\nOkay, so that's all heavily biased wish fulfillment. But one team that is assuredly not involved in any of this NBA playoff action is the Nets. Their 24-58 record was only marginally better than last year's. And yet there is reason to be optimistic. For starters, the Brooklyn-bound team recently left the dreary Meadowlands for an interim home in Newark. A midseason trade brought in starters Deron Williams and Jordan Farmar. And then there's power forward Kris Humphries. He posted career highs in both points and rebounds this year and was leading the team with twenty-one double-doubles before his season was cut short by a sprained ankle.\n\nCynics say he stepped up because his contract expires in June. But it might have more to do with some newfound inspiration. The 26-year-old Minnesotan started dating Kim Kardashian in November. For those wondering if Kim \"Wants to Have Kris's Baby,\" as Us Weekly would have it, who knows? But with the looming threat of a lockout, they'll certainly have time to try. I asked Humphries what to watch if there's no settlement this fall. \"Keeping Up with the Kardashians,\" he says, not missing a beat."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
