Anchor Josh Elliott relentlessly tried to get the NBA forward to talk about his collapsed marriage to vapid reality star. But even as TMZ described him as being uncomfortable about getting "grilled like a cheeseburger," a somber Humphries proved agile at sidestepping Elliott's pointed queries and kept his game face on.

"It's been different, but through everything I'm just focused on family and preparing for basketball—you know, basketball is something I've always taken very serious—and moving forward,'' said Humphries, and he kept to that script during the entire 5:23 interview. He also said, "For me it's just, certain things happen in life and you gotta move forward," Humphries said. "I'm excited to be where I'm at right now with the NBA season coming up and I'm ready to go."

About the only time he seemed really thrown off balance was when Elliott asked him: This is the first time we're hearing from you. Do you still love her?"

The lumbering 26-year-old guffawed and said, 'This guy' before repeating his message: "I'm focused on what I can control which is you know being ready to play ball and supporting my mom and her cookie bake today."

Humphries was there to promote his foundation's efforts to fight childhood obesity. After GMA showed footage from Kim's Fairytale Wedding, the cameras cut back to Humphries whose mom Debra was now holding his hand.

The Kardashians may have tried to paint this guy as the villain in the 72-day marriage between he and Kimmy K. Here's my take: he definitely comes off as 26, but the guy has shown a lot of class since being tossed overboard. He deserves better than a fake marriage to a cheap star.
