Guys I want us to take a little stroll down memory lane real quick. The year is 2011. Kim Kardashian and her sisters (because really, that's how they were known eight years ago) just released a klothing kollab with Sears. Khloé was still married to Lamar, and Kourtney only had one baby.
But the true gag of 2011?
People could hardly remember Kendall and Kylie's names.
Of course, the marriage only lasted 72 days and quickly became the biggest conspiracy theory since the moon landing.
One cry equals one prayer.
It was the most dramatic episode of the series so far, and that includes when Khloé was arrested.
But after approx. 2012, Kris really disappeared from the spotlight, thank GAWD. We absolutely did not need his negativity.
He recently wrote an essay of sorts for The Players Tribune titled, "I Never Wanted To Be That Guy."
"I used to smoke Michael Phelps. For real. Before I was That Guy, I was a basketball player. And before I was a basketball player, I was the No. 1 youth swimmer in America (and I think maybe, at one point, in the world)."
"I was definitely naive about how much my life was going to change," Kris said.
"There’s definitely a lot about that world that is not entirely real. But our actual relationship was 100% real."
"It’s never easy to go through the embarrassment of something like that — with your friends, with your family…."
"I didn’t know how to handle it, because I never thought I was going to be famous in that way."
"Is it just because I’m That Guy from TV?'"
He concluded, "The last one killed me, because all I’ve ever wanted to be known for was basketball."
"I know that most people will always see me as That F****** Guy from TV. And I get it. I signed up for it. I don’t want any pity at all. But I hope that true fans of basketball remember me as a grinder... I was never a person who wanted to be famous. I’m a guy from Minnesota who loves the game of basketball."
And honestly, I think one day he will get that legacy because trust me — I don't want to talk about this damn marriage anymore, either.
Kim Kardashian at a launch party for Avril Lavigne? I'm gagged.
