Cousins’ Rage Good for Stats, Bad for Kings

The short temper and passion that DeMarcus Cousins possesses are a major part of what make him as tough and talented as he is. Think of it as a bundle package by a television and Internet provider, it’s all-inclusive. You cannot have one without the other. There is no All-Star center without the temper.

Cousins is unstoppable, plain and simple. His physical ability mixed with elusive quickness and soft hands make him more than a nightmare for any defender.

Therefore, teams stop Cousins the only way they know how — by getting under his skin. They cannot physically take his presence out of the game, but they can irk him to the point that he takes himself out.
