Ever heard of DeMarcus Cousins? I think I had. No, I think I got him confused with LaMarcus Aldridge.

This is DeMarcus Cousins:

NBA draft 2010 / Round: 1 / Pick: 5th overall

That's high. Fifth is high.

That's good! Four time NBA All-Star is frigging GOOD.

Oh that DeMarcus Cousins, the CAREER 21.5 ppg DeMarcus Cousins, the career 11 rpg DeMarcus Cousins. Nope. Never heard of the guy. Now...I follow the fricking NBA, okay? But I missed this active Hall of Famer. Well, you see it is because I am an IDIOT BLOGGER. That and DeMarcus Cousins has played his entire fricking career in Excremento with one year in Nawleans. Might as well have played in Kazakhstan. Off my map, man.

NOT any more. GUESS who just signed future Hall of Famer DeMarcus Cousins? The Golden State "Warriors."

So, let's see: Steph Curry, H.o.F. fo sho; K.D., fo sho; 3 time NBA All Star and Defensive P.o.Y. Draymond Green prolly fo sho; Klay Thompson, 4 time NBA All Star, prolly; NBA Finals MVP, one-time All Star Andre Iguodala, mebbe. And now certain H.o.F'er DeMarcus Cousins. 

Golden State is in a galaxy far, far away from the rest of the NBA. They posted a regular season record 73 wins in 2015/16 without Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins. No. Hands down, this is the greatest collection of talent on one club team in the history of sport in this galaxy or any other.
