Khloe Kardashian will not be at Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Boston next week to support her husband and the L.A. Lakers -- instead, she'll be supporting her own career ... at the "Letterman" show. 
We're told Khloe has decided go to New York on Tuesday to do "Late Show with David Letterman" and she'll return to L.A. on Thursday to do Leno's show -- the same exact dates as Game 3 and 4, respectively.
Earlier this week, Lamar Odom had expressed concerns for Khloe's safety in Boston -- but we're told that wasn't a factor in her decision.
Khloe will be hawking her reality show -- "Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami."
In fairness, the Kardashians will be out in force at the Staples Center tonight and Sunday for games 1 and 2 against the Celtics.

Ok, Seriously...cmon now. I can almost forgive constant stories about Kim K, because she usually looks good, but Khloe? Really? Famous because her father ditched O.J's Knife, and she will pop out a couple ugly kids we will all have to look at, then hear about her divorce...please, when will it all end. Isn't Lilo doing something today that you can all cover? lol

I'd choose having all my teeth pulled out through my anus rather than watch a basketball game.
BASKETBALL SUCKS!

I don't think Lamar needs his hand held, and she does have a show of her own to support. By the way congrats on the pregnancy Khloe.

Will u stop covering these losers? We get it already - they're all whores.... nothing new here... Unless they're in a sex tape, stop reporting on this group of nobodies...
Anyone who watches these shows are even bigger morons.

I think she is the best looking one out of all the sisters...and the most down to earth. Kim is just too much and Kourtney is not cute at all.

Typical of the Kardashian clan, out in full force at the Staples Center, what a joke! What about Boston, oh that's right, in Boston you would be booed out of the Garden!

She's probably going to spill the beans on "is she or isn't she pregnant." The Kardashians are like the other train wreck of a reality shows....can't help but watch their non-reality of a life.

since when is being a ****** lover a career?

This is perfect. He had reservations about her going due to the rudeness some Boston fans showed his young children. Now, she'll work on those days and he doesn't have to worry. Khloe is very supportive of her Husband. Not sure what TMZ is trying to get at with the headline.

Khloe couldn't care less about watching Lamar play basketball. That's the last thing on her mind. She's just a user skank riding the NBA money train.

TMZ: next time you reference her "career" please use quotes otherwise explain what the freak this crass oinker actually does that would qualify as such.
