Brooklyn Nets getting reality show

It looks like the Kris Humphries is making his return to reality TV!

NBA TV will chronicle the Brooklyn Nets’ made for TV season in their new city and new arena in a series called “The Association.”  According to the New York Times, the league will make the official announcement tomorrow with the first episode airing on October 16. “The Association” follows a similar format to the popular HBO series “Hard Knocks.”
