Kris Humphries Scores Payday With Endorsment Deal

Divorcing and out of work, the NBA player takes gig with Sector watches.

Guess Kris Humphries did learn something from those 72 days he was married to Kim Kardashian. In a move straight from the Kardashian playbook, the ex-New Jersey Nets player capitalized on his fifteen minutes by signing an endorsement deal with Sector watches, and announcing it in a press conference.

The out-of-work baller even took the opportunity to earn some sympathy points from the public. "I'm happy to be here," he told a gaggle of gathered reporters. "As you all know, this has been a difficult time in my life, and I'm so grateful [for] my friends at Sector for their unwavering support."

Humphries' deal with Sector is worth $150,000 — pocket change in the Kardashian world — but the cash will come in handy since the NBA player is likely out of a job for the rest of the season, at least, and he won't be getting two dimes from his ex-wife.

Hopefully, his former mother-in-law and ex-manager Kris Jenner doesn't come after him for her ten percent!
