Kris Humphries appoints himself as lawyer in Kardashian divorce case

Kris Humphries has appointed himself as his own attorney in his upcoming divorce from Kim Kardashian.

Humphries , who was married to the reality star for 72 days before she filed for divorce, filed legal documents in Los Angeles appointing himself as his attorney, according to TMZ.

It's to bad the New Jersey Nets forward is going in as a defense lawyer.  Expect to see a lot of alley-oops by the other team.

Humphries originally wanted his Minnesota attorney to represent  him in the divorce case but California law stipulates that out-of-state lawyers must be accompanied by a local attorney.

Humphries hired a Los Angeles attorney, but the lawyer withdrew from the case, which led him to name himself instead.

What's that old saying?  A fool for a client?

The 6-foot-9 NBA player will have a tall task in front of him.  He will be facing one of Hollywood's top divorce lawyers in this court.

Kardashian's attorney, Laura Wasser has a full roster of A-list stars as clients including Angelina Jolie, Maria Shriver, Jennifer Aniston and Britney Spears.

That's a tough line-up on any one's hardwood.

The pretty much then-unknown Humphries, 31,  married the reality show conglomerate Kardashian, 27,  Aug. 20 in a celebrity-studded wedding which was broadcast on cable network E! and attracted over 10 million suckers— I mean viewers.

Kardashian filed for divorce less than three months later citing "irreconcilable differences."

Maybe she just got tired of hearing her sisters calling him names or the big lug was even more boring than her brother.

Kim K offered a settlement to Humphries to keep things quiet, but he didn't want to go down without clearing the air.  Humphries wants to prove the marriage was a sham and is seeking an annulment instead of a divorce.

 There has been no word if cameras will be allowed in the courtroom.  Yeah... right.
