Carmelo Anthony calls DeMarcus Cousins “my little brother.”
Anthony clearly has been a good mentor to Knicks teammate Kristaps Porzingis, but who knew his leadership would be felt most by his Olympics teammate Cousins, the Sacramento Kings center and one of the NBA’s flakiest stars?
Cousins said during Tuesday’s preseason ESPN telecast that Anthony’s presence had the most positive impact on him during the Rio Olympics, greater even than Kevin Durant’s.
