As a star NBA player with a reputation that pegs him as temperamental, and having joined the best team in the league this offseason, Cousins knew he set himself up as a target for criticism.
DeMarcus Cousins has closed the book on what was one of the most taxing (physically and emotionally) days of his life. After nearly a year of being out of basketball, Cousins finally returned to the court for an NBA game, this time in a Golden State Warriors uniform.
Tonight’s game featured the debut of DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins. If not an explosive enough event on its own, it was met with an all-time great halftime performance from Compton native Coolio.
