DeMarcus Cousins is very good at fictional football
DeMarcus Cousins is a divisive NBA player, but critics and fans alike agree on one thing: he plays basketball. But what if he played a different sport? That’d be neato, would it not?
Well, in a somewhat strange move, the Sacramento Kings official Twitter account decided to remove him from the sport of basketball and transport us into a different world where DeMarcus Cousins is made of pixels and his digital makeup is instead used to play football.
This excursion into a wacky world of fantasy does not touch on potential salary cap ramifications, the state of Dave Joerger’s sense of self, or how this relates to my custom made “Cousins” Packers jersey, but it does settle on one thing in particular. DeMarcus Cousins is very large and runs people over real good.
See for yourself. Go on. Do it:
Neat!

Why Kings Twitter decided on the New Orleans Saints to be the victim of DeMarcus-trucking is unclear. Also, DeMarcus Cousins being in the Raiders’ backfield might bring back bad memories of his first-name rhyme-buddy JaMarcus Russell. These are the only two bad things, but they’re decidedly ungood.
Everything else was pretty stellar. I liked the part when DeMarcus scored the touchdown. It’s a shame he tripped into the endzone on his first, but we can look past that. Let’s chalk it up to nerves in his first ever game in fake football land. There be dragons. And sideline refs that apparently run quicker than the New Orleans secondary. Football is weird.
