“Why Did We Ever Drop DeMarcus Cousins”: Warriors Fans In Utter Disbelief As Former All Star Finds His Groove For A Career High vs Stephen Curry and Draymond Green
Follow Us
DeMarcus Cousins had a good career in the NBA. He has spent the majority of it in Sacramento Kings, which is sad. He has not stayed in one team for more than a year after his time with the Kings. The latest team he now plays for is the Nikola Jokic led Denver Nuggets. Fans have underestimated him for quite a while. His performances did not help. He never could achieve minutes enough to have those performances.
Today, he has finally achieved a career high in playoff points. He has got 19 points against his former franchise, the Golden State Warriors. Supported by Jokic, he has done well enough to keep the Nuggets in the game against the Warriors. Though, it didn’t affect the ultimate result of the game as the Warriors beat them.
This performance has led to some Warriors fans regretting him leaving the team in 2019. Cousins was in that team for a season and due to this performance, has had the fans remembering the good old days of Cousins hooping and jumping.

DeMarcus Cousins and his Journey
Cousins has had an interesting career with the NBA. He was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2010 from the University of Kentucky. He had spent seven years with that team (why?). From 2013 to 2017, he was their best player. In 2016-17, he averaged around 28 points per game, 5 assists per game and 11 rebounds per game. Kings, though, are the Kings and still came 12th in the Conference that year.

He left the Kings for the New Orleans Pelicans in 2017. Cousins wasn’t too bad there either, but missed the playoffs in 2018 because of a torn left Achilles. It turned out to be a season ending for him. He left the Pelicans for the Golden State Warriors in 2018. The latter already won two successive championships, by that time. He didn’t have much for them too because of injury.
It was the same for the Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Clippers. He has been a journeyman since leaving the Kings, but he has achieved much by being a good role player for those teams.
