Lou Williams: I’ve had opportunities to play overseas and like lockouts and this and that. But it doesn't even matter. We have this thing in our business called feed the family, right? F*ck what somebody thinking about. Feed the fam. That's why you still see guys that Dwight Howard, top 75 player in the world, still playing. I'm still gonna be in Taiwan. Demarcus Cousins, I'm still gonna be in Mongolia. Feed the family at all costs.

Cousins remains in the limelight for his opinion on and off the court. During his 12-year NBA career, he played for several teams, including the Kings, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, and New Orleans Pelicans. However, his on-court journey with the league ended with the Denver Nuggets in 2022. In a recent episode of the “7 PM in Brooklyn” podcast, Cousins reflected on his time with the Kings.“For the most part I’ve been a winner my whole life. To get to a situation where it’s a lot of losing and sh*t it’s like they tell you to be professional and have a good attitude. Why the f*ck you trynna tell me to have a good attitude about losing? MF I’m not wired like that and you’re not going to make me think that’s the way I’m supposed to be wired,” Cousins stated.

DeMarcus Cousins: Now we're looking at this Kuminga. It's situation after situation after situation where he's continuing to downplay young talent. And we're now fast forward to this situation and once again we're overlooking it and kind of sweeping it under the rug. Like something has to be said, something has to be done as far as why do these type situations continue to happen under the watch of Steve Kerr when it comes to young talent?"

DeMarcus Cousins: And this is a coach with an ego. We all know that. We know that. Every coach has an ego. So with that being said, if I've gone out on a limb saying, 'This guy doesn't fit. He's not going to help me win games,' and I lose one of my best players, I'm not going to then retract on my words and then throw him in there and make myself look bad. I'm going to stand on what I said. 'He's not a good fit. He doesn't play well in this system, and I don't want him here. So I'm going to stand on—'

Dr. Richard Ferkel is a top orthopedic surgeon at the Southern Orthopedic Institute and an assistant clinical professor of orthopedic surgery at UCLA. He has operated on over a dozen Achilles tears of NBA players, including those of Klay Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins and Rodney Hood. In February, Thompson presented Ferkel with a 2022 NBA championship ring as a thank you for stitching his Achilles back together and allowing him to somehow be, in Thompson’s own words, the second-best scorer on a championship team.

Can you spend a moment to make a case as to why Cade Cunningham should be the league MVP this season? JB Bickerstaff: To me, especially when it's winning time, he's been the best player in the league in crunch time. His understanding of how to manipulate the game and make plays down the stretch, has led to why we are 19 and five at this time. We don't have a bunch of games where we've blown people out. A lot of our games have been highly contested going down the stretch and he's been able to make plays for us on both ends of the floor. He's not a one-dimensional guy who can just score it. He's a guy who can defend. You see him getting blocked shots. You see him getting steals. He gets rebounds. And he’s made his teammates better as well. And is a big reason for the position that we're in right now. We ought to reward character. I think we ought to reward guys who are great teammates. what the league is trying to develop in these superstars, shouldn't just be about the game of basketball itself. You know, it should be about the type of people and how they carry themselves and how they push the league forward. And Cade has done all of those things.

DeMarcus Cousins on Lawrence Frank: What qualifies you in that position to just end career after career after career of high-quality players when you haven’t achieved anything in your position or any position that you’ve ever been in in the NBA? You’ve never been a championship GM, championship coach. Like what qualifies him to be able to do these type of things to different players in their careers? That’s my issue with this. Like, what have you proven to be able to end a career? It makes no sense to me.

DeMarcus Cousins: When you think about the guys involved — you think about the coach, he's a champion. When you think about the franchise guy, he's a champion. And then you look at this one dynamic in the scenario — someone who's never done anything in any position he's been in that has produced winning or championships. But he's the decision-maker, and he continues to change this team around every single year — and they get worse and worse. He tries to coach from behind the scenes, you know, kind of hides his hands in those types of situations. It's just... it's Lawrence Frank. And I don't know how many more seasons we have to go through before we start looking at this guy as the issue. It doesn't go any further than him. I think a lot of things would be different if he wasn’t at the— you know— the head of the realm.

DeMarcus Cousins: I don't even like speaking on the Kings, 'cause for some reason, whatever I say is taken as if I'm bitter or whatever. Hey, I'mma just keep the facts—the facts. It's bad. It's been bad. It's probably going to continue to be bad unless some things change at the top.
