DeMarcus Cousins is America. It looks like America will go on to London to fight the good basketball fight without Anthony Davis. But that doesn't mean your favorite unibrow won't be a part of the team's journey. USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo told ESPN.com that no new players will be considered for the Olympic roster, despite a flurry of injuries. The USA will use 12 players from the 16 available names from the preliminary roster announced in January. However, Team USA is considering adding DeMarcus Cousins and/or Anthony Davis to the select squad that will train in Vegas with the Olympic team. The USA Select team will scrimmage the Olympic group before they take off for London. Sacramento reportedly made a push to add DeMarcus to the preliminary roster, but Colangelo is adamant about sticking with the banged up group he already has. I wish that weren't the case because it would've been really nice to see one of the former UK big men representing the country in the 2012 games with the world's best talent. #SendDeMarcusToTheOlympics #SendTheUnibrowToLondon
