Before meeting Kris Humphries, Kim K. allegedly had her eye on another player - former Knicks baller Danilo Gallinari. The word is, Kim was specifically in the hunt for a hubby from the NBA. More attractive to the media, ya know what I mean?

Kim reportedly had producers at E! contact NBA teams about potential husbands. Sources say the network called the Knicks to see if Gallinari was single.

"They asked if he would be interested in dating her and being on a reality show," a source told the site. "Danilo said he would love to meet Kim but was not interested in dating her or being on a reality show ... Even though E! explained it would be great for his career, Gallinari turned the offer down."

Kardashian reportedly wanted a New York sports star to date to coincide with the debut of her series "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" in January. Apparently she settled on the Tri-State area and Nets player Humphries. The pair started dating in December 2010.

Is there anything real about this woman?
