Inside DeMarcus Cousins's Journey Back to the Court

Boogie Cousins opens up about his recovery timeline, the NBA bubble, launching his own comedy show and more.

It was after a successful comedy show for charity in Sacramento earlier in his career when DeMarcus Cousins realized he could have a hit on his hands.

“Without that first show in Sacramento and the people supporting me the way they did, I probably never would have gotten to this point,” Cousins told Sports Illustrated of his first foray into the comedy world. Now, the former Kings and Warriors center has produced a special for Amazon Prime—Boogie’s Comedy Slam, a 70-minute show based on the stand-up team-ups of yesteryear.
