It's rare that a bunch of guys will get together and start discussing the Kardashians, but that's what alcohol and minus ten degree weather will do to you. What was the topic? Was Kim Kardashian too good for Kris Humphries? Like, if you take into consideration their physical attributes, social standing, net worth, celebrity status, and various other criterion, how do they match up? On Kim's side, she's probably worth at least five times more than him, is more famous, and maybe 15% better looking depending on how you feel about the butt size (Kim's not Kris'). On the negative side, Kris is actually talented at something, and while not super rich, he's pulling down a regular NBA salary so he's not exactly hurting for cash. Plus, the ultimate equalizer illustrated Ray J's directorial talents about five years ago.
The ultimate NBA/celebrity pairing may have been Tyra Banks and Chris Webber. When they were together, they were both at the top of their games: Chris, one of the best power forwards in the game, Tyra, the top supermodel working, not to mention that both were very, very good looking.
The biggest mismatch? Adriana Lima and Marko Jaric. Not only is Marko a peripheral NBA role-player who has been forced to ply his trade in Europe the past two years, he's kind of odd looking. The icing on the cake, Lima was apparently a virgin until their wedding night meaning he got to experience about 27 years of caged Victoria Secret passion unleashed. If the world was a more fair place, that kind of good fortune would be reserved for a future Hall-of-Famer like Steve Nash, or at least an All-Star like Rajon Rondo.
But that begs the question- what are the best 3 hypothetical NBA/celebrity pairings out there?
The Kids – Jimmer and Miley Cyrus
Doesn't the wholesomeness of the pairing just make sense? Both come from impeccable amateur pedigree: Cyrus from a hit Disney sitcom, Jimmer, one of the greatest college basketball players of all time, Cyrus comes from the Evangelical south, Jimmer, a devout Morman (they'd inevitably raise their kids Catholic.) They would be the Brangelina of Christian soccer moms south of the Mason-Dixie line for a generation (at least until the inevitable divorce when Cyrus gets Jimmer hooked on Meth, and Tim Tebow hooks up with some random country singer).
Other potentials: Selena Gomez and Brooke Lopez, Stephen Curry and Rihanna (he'd treat her right), Tyreke Evans and Lindsay Lohan (makes more and more sense the more you think about it), and
The Stars – D-Wade and Katherine Heigl
Wade is already with an actress, Gabrielle Union, but Union has a couple strikes against her from the start. One, she's a good decade older than him, two, she hasn't made a relevant movie in about the same amount of time. So this makes sense too doesn't it? They're both big stars, but will never reach that pantheon status for various reasons (Wade, because he'll never win anything without being the second best guy on his team, Heigel because of awful of casting choices.) Plus, you get hours of intense media coverage pretending not to care that they're an interracial couple! It's win win!
Other potentials: Kobe Bryant and Jennifer Aniston (both good looking stars, both divisive with the general public but have devoted cult followings, both with high profile relationship mishaps). Kim Kardashian and Metta World Peace (now this makes sense). Amare and
The Vets – Shaq and Sandra Bullock
Two of America's Sweethearts that are past their prime, but still very relevant. They have skeletons in their relationship closets, but somehow emerged relatively unscathed. Bullock is notoriously private, which will be nicely balanced by Shaq's desperate desire to be famous! This makes too much sense not to happen.
Other potentials: Helen Mirren and Charles Barkley (yes!), Paul Pierce and Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears and Mike Dunleavy.
Anyway, post your ideas below-
I feel very good about Kim's butt size.
