Our man Demarcus Cousins is getting somewhat of a bad rap in his first season in the NBA. Â There's the attitude issues, his early exit from a practice, and his shaky relationship with Kings coach Paul Westphal. Â But through all the negative Cousins talk, I refuse to believe he is the head case that many people in the national media make him out to be. Â He's Boogie Cousins - a KSR legend and my favorite player in the NBA - and everyone else can shut up about him. Â Everyone, but Sam Amick.
The NBA writer at Fanhouse wrote a great piece on Cousins and his off the court personality. Â It's based around Cousins' relationship with Andrew Rogers, his assistant/roommate who knows the real Demarcus Cousins better than anyone. Â Rogers was a team manager at UK for three years before following the big man out to Sacramento. Â Now his day-to-day duties include clowning around with Big Cuz. Â (Not a bad gig.)
The real gem of the article is Cousins' fascination with Taylor Swift, which he denies. Â Demarcus claims he can't name any of the young country singer's songs, but Rogers says otherwise. Â It's okay, Boogie. Â You don't have to deny it.
Check it out and Go Kings.
I guess I might as well go ahead and post this too...
