The Kings Are Thankful For: DeMarcus Cousins and His Emotions

DeMarcus Cousins is what the Kings should be thankful for because he is a force on the inside and allows head coach Mike Malone to tinker with lineups because of his offensive versatility.

Other than Cousins’s game, he is also one of the most intriguing and polarizing figures in the league today. He wears his heart on his sleeve and isn’t afraid to express his emotions which makes for great television when the Kings are on.

Boogie Cousins is a large part of why the Kings are relevant in today’s league, and that’s something the organization and its fans should be thankful for.
