Why Kim Kardashian Should Have Stayed with Reggie Bush

Kim Kardashian is known for dating sports stars. She started with Reggie Bush, then Miles Austin and most recently Kris Humphries. Her marriage with Humphries is already infamous for only lasting 72 days. In fact, there are more jokes about the divorce than there are NBA games. Ouch.

Why did Kardashian divorce Humphries? Who knows. Who cares. She should have never left Reggie Bush. He is finally getting a chance to be the running back everyone expected him to be coming out of USC as the second overall draft pick in 2006. He is having a pretty good first year on the winless Dolphins team. He also has nowhere to go but up.

Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!

Reggie Bush has a knack for capturing attention. Whether it is good or bad attention, people's eyes are on Reggie. That translates to eyes being on Kim Kardashian (if she was still with him). Despite what critics say, Reggie has the ability to take the football to the end zone every time that he touches the ball. For this reason, he is exhilarating as a football player, and people will continue to watch him.

Fans love Reggie Bush even though we know that he will mess up sometimes. Reggie does dance a little too much, fumbles occasionally and under-performs at times. However, he gives your team opportunities to score and simply energizes fanbases.

If Kardashian would have stayed with Bush, then she would've been able to be one the fan favorites as well. She could have been a part of what Reggie is building. Even though he is no longer a Saint, many Saints fan root for him in Miami because you just can't help but like Reggie Bush.

Game Changer

We have already touched on Bush's ability to score any time he gets the ball, but think about everything else he brings to the table. He is a type of player that has to be accounted for every time that he is on the field. That is what he was known for while playing in New Orleans: being a distraction.

Statistically, this is one of Reggie Bush's best years of his career. He is averaging four-and-half yards a carry, second most in his career, and he has more rushing yards now than all of last year. Bush needs only 246 more yards this season to match his career best of 581, set in 2007.

Reggie Bush has also managed to stay relatively healthy so far this year, which plagued him in previous seasons. The only season that Bush played all 16 games was his rookie year in 2006, when he accumulated 1,307 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns. It is not far-fetched to believe that he can match that type of production again in Miami.

In fact, Miami could be Reggie's revitalization. Bush has had his fair share of leg injuries, but he's only 26 years old. If Miami uses Bush half as well as the Saints did and continue to make him the primary back, then we could see a couple of 1,000 to 1,500-yard seasons out of Reggie.  

In Miami, Bush has a chance to be something he never had the opportunity to be with the Saints, a feature back.

Community Involvement

Reggie Bush is not just a personality on the field, but he is also known off of the gridiron. One of the reasons that Bush is so well liked is because he was active in the community. Bush was seen at New Orleans Hornets games all the time while he was with the Saints. I'm sure that he would be seen at Heat games, if that was a possibility at the moment.

Bush was also a key factor in the rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He will surely become a similar figure in Miami. 

If Kardashian would have stayed with Bush, then she would more than likely be involved in Miami's community as well, instead of going through a divorce. 

She Should Have Stayed

Obviously, Bush is the better option than Humphries.

Bush is currently employed. Humphries is a free agent for a league in the middle of a lockout. Bush is turning his career around and Humphries is waiting to extend his.

All in all, Bush is potentially about to hit the next level as an NFL running back, and Kim Kardashian would be better off had she never left.

Hopefully Bush will not accept her when she comes crawling back, because the only thing she can do now is hold him back. 

Honorable Mention: Austin Miles

Kim Kardashian would have been better off with Austin Miles as well. Miles has had his moments in the spotlight and is still playing in his prime. He also is a fan favorite and has a lot to look forward to.

Kardashian would have been much better off had she chosen to stay with Miles as well.
