The world watched as Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian walked down the aisle in a whirlwind, fairytale wedding and when it all came crashing down after 72 days of marriage, the media had a circus with it. 

Reports were coming from everywhere that the wedding may have been all a sham, but for Humphries it was very real.

"To me, [the marriage] was real," Humphries said to Access Hollywood. "I would never go through something or do something that wasn't real or I didn't believe in. So, I could really only speak for myself in terms of that." 

And if the marriage was only about money, Humphries said he would have done things a little differently. 

"If it was a plan for money, I think I would've done the plan a little more differently myself," but he "can't control what people think."

"I hope that people judge me by my work and my foundation, the way I approach basketball and the way I approach life," Humphries said, "caring about people and trying to give back where I can. Money doesn't rule my life, so I would never do anything strictly for money."   

Although, he will soon be a divorced man, Humphries said everything in his life is ok and he is happy to still have basketball. 

"Basketball is where you can go to not think about anything and just let loose," he said. "I always tell people that basketball is like my therapy. Some people talk to psychologists and stuff like that; I just need to go play basketball."
