- Absolute monster of a basketball player who has a nice smile. Would be a phenomenal Santa Claus
- Capable but somewhat unwilling passer
- Underrated sense of humor, physical warrior deserving of a comeback commercial
Seriously, how awesome would it be to have milk and cookies with DeMarcus on Christmas Eve?
Top ten in most things NBA related (including misunderstood scowls), Boogie is killing it. You’d like to see him lower his opponents FG% at the rim (nearly 56 percent, per SportsVU), but as a 23 year old, the $60M extension he signed in the off-season seems like a bargain. He’s like an absurdly talented combination of the Baby from Dinosaurs and a Rasheed Wallace that can rebound.
Often referred to patronizingly as a bad apple or “a frustrating talent,” Cousins has a reputation – and a black hole usage rate – that’s somewhat unfair. Whether it’s promoting animal shelters in honor of his spirit animal – the misunderstood but cuddly pit bull – or helping out tornado victims in Alabama and dancing with Kate Upton, DeMarcus is an underrated nice dude.
He’s also really good at basketball.
