He was the fifth overall pick in 2010 and at one point, he was destined to become the best big man in the NBA. According to some people, he was the best big man. But why is DeMarcus Cousins not in the NBA? That’s what he wants to know.
Just 4 seasons ago he was averaging 25 points, 12.9 rebounds at 27 years old. He should be in his prime right now, but instead, he’s hopped from team to team from the Warriors to the Rockets, Clippers, Bucks, Nuggets…according to Bob Myers the Warriors GM, it’s because people are afraid of how Cousins is going to act… because what DeMarcus Boogie Cousins did on and off the court scared the NBA.
Draymond Green called DeMarcus Cousins the best big man in the NBA in 2017.
Oh yeah and also LeBron…
The concerns were real enough to cause Boogie to drop to #5 in the draft to the Sacramento Kings even though Boogie was easily the most talented player. His impact on the franchise was immediate. He had the 19th highest usage rate in the league as a rookie. He averaged a respectable 14.1P, 8.6R, 2.5A, 1.0Stl, 0.8Blk on 43% shooting from the field and 69% from the free throw line.
The Kings hoped pairing the unpredictable Boogie would balance with their young, mild mannered, 2010 rookie of the year, Tyreke Evans. For a brief period, Sactown had visions of their own Kobe & Shaq.
Boogie was drafted with a Zion like 16.4% body fat with no veteran leadership to hold him accountable. Barkley was drafted #5 as well and had his issues with weight too, but credits his veterans for tough love and forcing him to get in shape.
And Boogie and the Kings both didn’t change their ways. From the team perspective, another way you don’t want to start the year is by drafting a power forward Thomas Robinson 5th, one spot ahead of Dame Lillard a point guard that you needed.
DeMarcus’s rap sheet goes long, so much that the media was making up stories about Isiah Thomas restraining Cousins from attacking a camera man
But by his 4th season in 2014, Cousins was so good, that all the other extracurricular activities didn’t matter. Cousins averaged 22.7 points, 9th in the league, and 11.7 boards, 5th in the league.
And as Boogie kept getting better, becoming an All-Star, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to collect 20+ points, 20+ rebounds, 10+ assists and 5+ blocks in a single game. But the new coach George Karl was trying to get Cousins traded. Boogie tweeted out a snake in the grass emoji.
and the Kings decided they had had enough and traded him to the Pelicans. DeMarcus again was hurt but he was paired with Anthony Davis. And at the time, this duo was being called the new twin towers and man was it fun to watch.
But on Jan. 26, 2018, in a game against the first-seed Houston Rockets, Cousins suffered a rupture of his Achilles, ending his season. And with free agency coming up, Cousins was screwed.
Teams didn’t really offer Cousins any worthwhile contracts for a 4x all-star and so he made a move that broke twitter as fans and NBA players cried that the league was broken.Yup, he signed a one year 5.3M deal with the Warriors to join Curry, Klay, KD, and Draymond. The Warriors lost to the Raptors in the Finals and Cousins was back to the drawing board so he signed a $3.5 million deal to sign with the title favorite Los Angeles Lakers. Anthony Davis wanted to play with him again.
But Cousins tore he tore his ACL from a pre-season workout in Las Vegas. That might be some of the worst luck I’ve ever seen in a star athlete.
And with all the injuries, Cousins didn’t really have any options.
And part of that was because Boogie at face value wasn’t really a good defender. He wasn’t able to keep up defensively on the perimeter in switch defenses and perhaps more importantly, he would sometimes ball watch, lacking defensive focus. Most teams had seen him as an offensive weapon but with all the injuries, teams weren’t willing to give Cousins that chance of running an offense from the low block post area. Paul George even said that Cousins is still a dominant big and demands a double-team.
From kicking chair meltdowns, to beefing with his head coaches, to arrest warrants, DeMarcus Cousins hasn’t always been a professional nor has he recieved much help. It’s not that Cousins isn’t good enough to make a team now, even after all his injuries. It’s that his skill and talent is no longer worth the supposed headache he is. Which seems weird when recent teammates and head coaches have raved about him. And with all the other extracurriculars we’ve seen in the NBA right now, it’s apparent that the NBA collective just decided to be done with Cousins. - Sport

Yes
I think signing him to short term contracts is the best way to go. Its a shame that it didn't work out at Milwaukee, but that is a healthy and well-run organization so if it didn't work out there, its a red flag. Portis had a similarly tumultuous first half of his career, but he has smoothed it out considerably. I'm sad to see that Cousins couldn't have a similar experience, because as much as he's done to hurt himself, I also think he was starting to mature and could've salvaged the latter stages of his career.
Its weird how the NBA clearly blacklists all stars. Isaiah Thomas, Carmelo Anthony and DeMarcus Cousins should all be playing somewhere. The talent pool would be improved with all of them, and as a fan, I still wish I could see them play. What are they so AFRAID of?
He was playing about half the games every year. For the last 5 years he has been injuried alot. His attitude is not good according to teammates. He has not avg double figure in points in 6 years has not avg more than 5 rebounds a game in that same span. I think he is not good enough for how much money he wants and conflict with teammates he has. If you have a bad attitude you need to playing alot more and doing alot more.
@@jonmitchell9019 I agree, I guess I just find his whole career arc so frustrating because it seemed like he was feeling about to turn things around when he was with the Pelicans before the injury. He was unstoppable inside and had added a high percentage 3 point shot outside. He was a legit MVP candidate and then he got a severe injury and never recovered. Its just a shame. Without the injury, maybe he would've had success and he could've blossomed and started a positive snowball instead of a downward spiral. Maybe with a vacation from all of his bad circumstances, he would've found some peace of mind, and his attitude would've changed. I guess we'll probably never know.
Hi
No team wants an aging big man with anger issues
This
Get this man on mavs 😂
Or him being injury prone as f
Fr
Yeah he was anything you could say that's good + the anger when he's young. And now he's old only the anger stays
The fact that people can get away with knocking their teammates out and not be angry and passionate about the game speaks volumes about biases and how the league works
so what? Pistons were knocking out fans and were just suspended to the end of the season
or Arenas put 4 guns in front of the locker of his Teammate and too got only a suspension , til the end of the season
he said: choose one , cause Crittenton said he's gonna shoot him ... (crittenton is now in Jail for murder)
MJ punched Kerr back in the day
@@gehtdichnichtsan2477 if i got a cup thrown at me i would too.
Jordan Poole needed to get knocked out. Talk big shit, get knocked the f**k out. To quote Mike Tyson; everyone has a plan -until they get punched in the mouth.
After Draymond knocked Jordan Poole out, I thought he was going to be done. Nope. Was DeMarcus really worse than that?
Totally different situations, Draymond has been an integral part of a 4 Championship team, Demarcus Cousins stock has been falling ever since he got injured in New Orleans. Its not like overnight no team has wanted him, teams have been taking flyers on him for years now and now no one really wants too anymore. This is not getting banned......its just aging and injuries getting you out of the league. Same shit with Carmelo/Dwight, its not like overnight no team wanted them, it got to the point where teams would rather see whats up with younger talent, AND in Dwight and Cousins case, their position has kinda aged out of the league
@@Tony-fq5bn"He won a ring so he's allowed to be an asshole"
Just have gone with that 😂
Draymond has rings and despite his technicals he is liked all around the league
@@albertoagilar1807 not too sure about Green being liked. Just ask all the players he constantly fouls flagrantly. 😅
Difference is that Draymond helps you win championships while Cousins delivers lottery picks.
He was sweet but Duncan schooling him is my most vivid memory of him. (Cousins was so mad 😂)
He even admitted to it in a podcast.
@@fobinc lol Did he? That's awesome and to be fair there's absolutely no shame in Tim Duncan schooling you.
(Duncan was special and in my top 5)
Who didn't Duncan school?
@@russellgeorge433 Well, I put up 20 and 12 against him and fouled him out...but that was in my prime 💪😎
@@cappy2282 you did nothing .
My subjective recollection of him, while he was playing for Golden State, is quite different from this video presentation. I was frustrated when he played, as he seemed to hardly ever score more than a couple points in a game, and it never seemed that he was very effective on defense. It never seemed like he was playing as a precision part of the team, like the Warriors now play. I was happy to see him go to another team.
I said this 10 years ago. I knew if he didn’t fix his attitude he was not going to last in the league.
I seen this coming in Sacramento, they almost made an example outta Stephen Jackson to if it wasn't for Isaiah Thomas sticking up for em.
Pretty much every single professional involved in an NBA front office has a better read based on more information than anyone outside of the league. If he’s not on a roster then it’s almost definitely right that he isn’t.
Exactly, and don't forget that Cousins used to be a superstar and a big name in the league, so teams would like to sell some jerseys or fans wanting to watch play live. So, there's gotta be a reason for why he isn't in the league the past few years.
The news just came out today that he signed a contract with a team in Puerto Rico, so hopefully he can get his mind and health together and begin a comeback to the NBA. It will be a tough road, but he's already had a career filled with adversity, so now we'll find out if it made him stronger, or if he is destined to be a tragic victim of bad decisions and circumstances.
He’s been getting better, at least that’s what my coworker said. His first game, the only one I’ve seen was atrocious though.
It should make him sit down and examine himself as to why no NBA team wants him. He could be a big help to the teams out here now, but nobody wants to deal with his attitude. He should be at a point where he is mature enough to realize that, but obviously, he doesn't see it. He should be making millions and in high demand because he's a good big man. He could have been better than Jokic because he plays just as good or better. But his attitude has cost him.
At least I got a chance to see him live
Oh, I remember the year he played for my Rockets, I was excited to have him, but I was so busy that year I hardly got to watch any games, then I heard we cut him, and I was like dang, was his defense that bad.
I'm sure injuries have nothing to do with him not being picked up
Like previously said in comments, dude is injury prone, aging and has anger issues. but I think most teams dont want him is because he never tried to be better... still weighs too much and keeps fighting with everyone. so why would anyone think it would be different this time?
Same reason how he got in the league clown he weighed to much ? Last I recalled he got skinnier and who he fighting with the refs ? And he definitely did change his game I guess he never shot a 3pt Demarcus did literally everything a big man can do besides defense he was just to slow forget weight he not ATHLETIC stop talking like he was some overweight scrub who stayed near the rim even at his lowest days he had and will have a better career then you ever had !
Dude have serious angry issue, every game he gotta fight someone 😂😂😂
Man please,hiscage don't mean shit. He still nicer then most centers in the league . The NBA is a clown league now .
@@mrShinglez he shot 3s brah .
@@Saiputera not true
Hard to believe a team wouldn’t be willing to pick him up if the price was low enough. Like yeah it’s a gamble either way but if dude is dirt cheap what does it even matter
He’s not tin the league because he was always angry and out of control. I’ve seen it in person about 3-4 times. Always yelling at someone and extremely pisses. He needs help.
Mdma or sceletium tortuosum cures mental health
He's no more like that, what you see is many years ago. He's good in Denver, but he reject the offer
He's not in the league because the NBA is a joke brah . Stop sitting here acting like this is just black n white . A lot of dudes are not in the NBA that should be .
@@russellgeorge433 yet he is still trying to get back in the joke 🤣?
@@russellgeorge433 like who???
Beyond the obvious things of aging, injuries, and character issues... Being a Defensive liability is what's keeping him out of the league
Nobody plays defense in today's NBA. So that's a bs excuse.
No one's afraid of Boogie, they just don't want him around because of his temper.
Ron Artest played in the NBA another 6 or 7 seasons after the brawl at the palace. Latrell Sprewell played another 6 to 7 seasons after chocking his coach. These guys were vilified and crucified by the media. But they still had decent NBA careers after being participants in notorious events in sports. Granted these guys are not as big and strong as Cousins.Cousins never did anything as bad as what Artest and Sprewell did, Yet the NBA owners blacklisted Cousins out of fear and image reasons. Once the league got Adam Silver as the commissioner its been more about maintaining the Image of the league. Cousins never been to jail or prison. No drug issues, gang affiliations,ect. Yet white america still fear big angry black men.
Cousins played very well for Denver last season. I get that the NBA is now a position-less league and expects bigs to guard the perimeter. But that shouldn't apply to a guy that can score at close,mid, 3 pt range,have playmaking passing ability, and can rebound very efficiently.
yeah it's the fault of white people that cousins career turned out how it did, you are right. Nothing to do with the information age... Artest and Sprewell would not have survived in such times either... when all people had to reference was a newspaper or a one time viewing of a sports recap on tv such things could be swept under the rug quite easily.
His antics and low focus in the game are the main problems then aside of being injured most of the time, thats why...
thanks coach D.
@@livewutangclan you can smd Wu-Tang beach
After 2k NBA became nursery... so lucky being witnessed of 90's
AFRAID! Great content per usual brah!👌🏾
Afraid this is one of your best videos ever bro.
Call me crazy, but Sac could get him back and a backup....I think he'd be extremely happy. Grant Napiar however would be pissed.
How he banned but dreymond and Rudy government both punched they teammate on camera and they still playing
I wouldn't consider him banned. He is blackballed if anything. He is just not worth the headache.
He was great backup for Jokic, but he wanted to be a starter. Too bad, he was great fit for Nuggets... on the floor. Off the floor- i don't know, it looked like they was satisfied
Smh had he stayed he’d have a ring now
9:19 Demarcus and Isaiah have their Titantic moment.
Bruh! You have one of if not the hardest outro on YT. Why aren’t you letting it rock like you used to? 😢 This is tearing me apart…😭😭
15:13 number 15 made a business decision not trying to get that blocking foul right there 😂
He needed Miami Heat culture and Udonis Haslem. He still does.
Barkley went to Auburn not Alabama, sent with Love and respect
Carmelo Anthony & Demarcus Cousins Got Unfair Treatment
Kyrie, Iverson, Draymond Green, Rodman, Cousins.
I'd pay good money to see that team for one year.
bro Memphis rn beats that lineup😆😆😆😆
@@vrylox Forgot to add : Coached by Gregg Popovich.
You mean Iverson, Artest, Stephen Jackson, Draymond Green and Cousins. Spreewell, Kenyon Martin, Bruce Bowen and Kemp can come off the bench.
@@fobinc Oh god, that's even better. Who to coach them? Gotta be an authoritarian.
Iverson is starting so he is fine, rodman would just be trouble for not the players.. .kyrie would be kyrie but Draymond of all people will hold the locker room as well as cousins
There’s gotta be a bigger reason why he not in the nba even tho he’s not the same he still a lot better than alot of backup bigs in the nba
there isn't, that's it. It's similar to Kyrie, one day, as good as Kyrie is, he's going to get blackballed once he's no longer averaging the numbers he averages now bcz teams have painted this picture of him being a problem bringer.
Him and AD in NO were scary before he unfortunately was injured
Nobody is holding him accountable he was the only basketball player that didn’t have any of his English assignment ready at UK. Asked turn something in even if it was a written paragraph. Got up bullied the English teach and yelling at her that she was racist as he walked out of the class. This was at UK where Bledsoe who had trouble reading got an A in the class. The English teacher was definitely frightened by him coming towards her yelling and barely said anything as he left. I don’t know how he got in another English class like 2 weeks into the semester.
Bro cooked us in the non jokic minutes in the playoffs. I really don't understand how he is not on a team
I enjoyed Cousins career I hope its not over , besides hes a beast and extremely talented
boggie would be the closest thing to Shaq if he would just calm his temper and just ball.
I think the problem is his attitude and not being able to accept a 3rd string center role. He said he thinks he’s the 3rd best center in the league yesterday
Issue with cousins is shape and body maintenance off court causing injuries
The love child of Kenyon Martin and Derrick Coleman... Mad and Talented
He should try his luck in Euroleague especially in one of Belgrade clubs
Has anyone seen the jidion video when Demarcus told the worker stop taking your job so seriously dude just wants a picture or something like that. It was funny af.
What's the background song for the first minute of the video?
I feel like the NBA should give him one last chance in the league & if he messes up then it's up his decision making but a lot teams could use him right now like these teams Celtics,Lakers,Heat,Grizzles,Knicks,Clippers,Cavs,Suns,Bulls,Warriors,Sixers,Mavs I know he played for the Lakers,Clippers,Warriors & Bucks before all teams need to load up for the playoffs when it comes up.........
he would be a perfect fit for the mavs
Lol the Mavs suck defensively and you want them to be worse ? 😂😂😂
Javale is better fit for the mavs but they dont even play him
It's so sad we really getting soft out here frfr. The man asked Myers and Myers said "there afraid of how you gone act" there's an agenda in place they probably don't want that to influence the youth which is bs bc there's been worst players than cousins and did we have a problem with that no. Smh
I was dying laughing when he said Klay Thompson would come alive in game 6💀😂
6:33 Kings had a 22-66 record? Was there a season that had 88 games? Am I missing something?
watching this after he went to play in Puerto Rico
never knew jidion was this heavy headed 💀
The best thing that ever happened to kings franchise was trading him lol...other teams only got a little taste of what we had to deal with for all those years. He did more whining than playing
For that caption that has a massive topics
I want cousins on the warriors again miss him
He's a big childish bully. He acted like a big spoiled brat, and he never tried to change his attitude. So it's his own fault that he's no longer in the NBA. He was always very defiant and bullheaded, always ready to fight or get violent and confrontational. He could have been on the same level as all the greats if it weren't for that. And it's sad because he is a great player.
2:53
Every video talking about Boggie Cousins’ bully ball needs the clip of his MMA ground£ elbows he delivers to the smaller Jared Swopshire for out-rebounding him.
Hes balling right now down in puerto rico❤
All I know is he's generally the first free agent I sign in NBA 2K23 😁
I love watching DeMarcus play idk why, but he is entertaining. def plays dirty sometimes but man he is funny and he has some good game
Same here I think all he needed was some control just a tone down you know
Boogie played in the wrong decade. Back in the 80s and 90s there would be 0 problems for him. 😂
Injuries and Anger
kemba walker & dcuz could get signed to the same team tomorrow for NOTHING
That Mike Malone firing aged really well.
atp teams would definitely look past his anger issues and past problems if he wasn't injury prone. Like not only are you risking potential huge problems with team chemistry and controversy( even though i believe hes matured a little) but your also risking him getting injured again and becoming unplayable, making it a really shitty situation.
When you are in your prime you can either be a leader or an asshole. People will follow you or tolerate you accordingly. When you are out of your prime those who followed you before might still tolerate you but those who tolerated you before will want to have nothing to do with you.
Best center of the second half of the 2010s. Failed by the Kings organization as well as his inability to handle his emotions or stay healthy
I subscribed because you asked politely.
He's inconsistent now but can still have bursts of greatness. It's his demeanor on court (getting technicals, ejections) that's alienating him from the league tbh.
Strange that someone that acts like he did his whole career is now not trusted to NOT be a distraction.
Miss cousin's ❤️❤️❤️
lol 9:26 😂
How come you don’t post anything about the Suns?
kinda nuts how the only thing keeping the warriors from becoming one of the ONLY teams to 3-peat is injuries.. the Raps had no business being there and got lucky KD & Klay got hurt
Finally a video on Jidion’s Grandfather
AFRAID!!!! great video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Demarcus learned a lot the hard way in his 20’s but he’s matured quite a bit growing into his 30’s. I think a guy like Demarcus needs a stable, supportive franchise to call home and some tough love discipline if/when he screws up. Unfortunately, it sounds like he can’t escape his past enough to prove his value (and maturity) at this stage in his life. I think that’s a sad waste of talent but we all know how political the NBA is.
As a Warriors fan I wish we had a “big” for the playoffs. Boogie would be a great fit - he already knows Kerr’s system so he’s basically plug and play. If an issue pops off he and Draymond can always fight it out 😂
the NBA (like every other major sport) is not at all political. If you can play you play doesn't matter what an asswipe you are (Deshaun Watson) and if you're not good enough you don't get to play (Josh Rosen). You can cheat and comeback if you can hit (Manny Ramirez, Manny Machado) and if you can't hit? Bye. NBA same way.
Demarcus cousins ,Hassan Whiteside &
Tyrek evans are all playing in puerto rico
I love/hate it when players with bad attitudes's careers finally catch up with them, and they wanna act like they didn't see it coming.
In the regular world, most jobs will let you go because of your attitude, regardless of how hard you work.
He did it to himself.
He has anger issues but that isn't the main issue, his main issue is he holds a grudge and doesn't let go of issues so when he gets into issues with people, which having anger issues, he will inevitably have problems with people, his grudges and inability to let go and move on keep the bad air lingering and it builds a bad atmosphere in the dressing room.
Its actually two detrimental personality traits. If he just had anger issues and didn't hold a grudge, he would be in a similar position to KG and other greats who had anger issues but could shake hands after.
If he had no anger issues but just held a grudge, well thats basically what MJ did to motivate himself, so thats fine too.
But put those two personality traits together and you have one foul person.
Don’t do Jimmer like that MJ. Coming out of college i would’ve made the mistake of takin him over klay too. Jimmer in college is legendary.
I thought the Lakers would try to resign him. As a bench player he could’ve helped against the Nuggets. Lakers needed at least one big guy from the bench.
Same with the current Warriors.
We got to stop using banned as a catch all teen for when people don’t want your services. It really is that simple. Otherwise any guy who played in The NBA and now isn’t on a team can say they’re banned. 😂😂
I wanted the ad & boogie duo to last man
After knowing he had issues in college why wouldn't they add a few vets to have mentors . Some teams are fools
Team spirit is easily destroyed and then it doesn’t matter if ur a decent player. He got away with it with it in his prime while being a top scorer. Im 90% sure he wasn’t always in shape which is a must for a such a big and his athletic style of play to avoid injuries. With his immaturity and life’s, will sadly probably end up broke high is sad.
He just got a contract with the 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico professional league (BSN)
That man tore his Achillies, tore his Quad and tore his ACL within a 4 year period. All on the same leg. Thats why sadly.
It’s been 4 seasons since he averaged 20 + points? It feels longer
Damn imaging Boogie with the Kings today...
His best year, kings won 32 games.
He's a BEAST!
There is a common denominator here and he has been given more chances than most of us get.
Having Draymond and Cousins on the same team could have went left lmao
🎉 We need him in Chicago.
he should do a celebrity boxing match
3:09 Wait, hol up...🤔 Did I hear that right?
We most definitely afraid 😂
That’s crazy why BOOGIE COUSINS not in the league, but you got some bums in the NBA🤦🏾🤦🏾
The Chicago Bulls need a player like Cousins who has a dominating game, an intimidator. They are too nice on the court to win a championship. They let Caruso get tossed on his head and nobody did anything to Milwaukee's little guard. They need toughness and meanness. DeMarcus Cousins can give them that for a dirt cheap price. DeMarcus and Drummond would give the Bulls that fear factor that DeRozan and Lavine don't possess. Karnisov do you want to win championships or be a high school Principal?
