BREAKING NEWS: DeMarcus Cousins does something controversial. // UPDATE

Cousins_demarcus_09-10LEXINGTON, Ky., June 19 — University of Kentucky basketball player DeMarcus Cousins, a prospect in next week's NBA draft, was seen doing something controversial at a controversial location. When asked about his controversial actions, the controversial center offered an unprintable, controversial reply. Kentucky head coach John Calipari and Cousins's agent John Greig, both controversial figures in the sports world, also said controversial things in response to press inquiries. This unfolding controversy, according to analysts, is likely to affect Cousins's status as a projected top-six selection in the NBA draft.

In related news, medical researchers at Wayne State University in Detroit have discovered that choosing controversial athletes in one of the first six NBA draft slots is strongly correlated with adverse health outcomes and reduced employment prospects among NBA general managers. The study also found that these risk factors could be mitigated by selecting non-controversial athletes who did not attend the University of Kentucky, or by trading down to the seventh position in the draft. // UPDATE: audio report

I, for one, am concerned about this controversial situation.

Lies

DeMarcus Cousins is a center. He clearly pointed this out in his controversial statement, stating only an nba center sized man could have pulled off what he did.

PF, C, F/C —

— yet another DeMarcus Cousins controversy. Can he be trusted to play a single position, or will his controversial attitude frustrate NBA coaches? Teams holding top-six picks cannot afford to take such a risk.

by -PS- on Jun 19, 2010 6:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

could his controversial statements have anything to do with recent allegations that he was at one point in his youth a member of the Taliban?

by dandresden on Jun 19, 2010 6:25 PM EDT reply actions  

I concur

We have enough controversial calls in the NBA Finals, adding yet another controversy would be just a catastrophe for the league. I am not sure pure David’s little heart can handle this news

so wat's the controversial again?

ppl have seen Cousins doing something controversial at a controversial location? GREAT DESCRIPTION, RIGHT ON POINT!!

the real issue is whether or not his stock will fall in the draft due to this controversy?

by dandresden on Jun 19, 2010 10:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

JC, the report couldn’t be more clear. DeMarcus Cousins did something CONTROVERSIAL at a CONTROVERSIAL location, and as a result of this CONTROVERSY, it would be too CONTROVERSIAL for a team to select him higher than #7 overall.

by -PS- on Jun 20, 2010 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions  

I could not agree more

If he has done something controversial that caused a draft controversy which would lead to conspiracy theories, then this conspicuous big man will have no choice but to face the penal system.

by bearded thundar on Jun 20, 2010 8:44 AM EDT up reply actions  

Sounds like a top 6 pick...

Unlike more controversal players looking to be drafted in the top 7…

Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.

by The Boourns on Jun 20, 2010 4:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

It’s time to totally drop this deviant’s stock down to around the 7th pick.

It was about this post

She kinda chilled out after a few words from MP but it was too late for me. I was drunk. You can check it out yourself . It’s not really a big deal and they erased what I said anyway. LOL . It’s funny because that’s the first thing I’ve ever posted on that site and I got Banned. I’m glad people on this site aren’t so damn stuck up.

Practice safe sex. Go fuck yourself !

If it was your first comment on this site, you would have been banned here too.

Yeah well I guess I have more respect for the fans on this site. Besides she was the one who started calling us names in the first place and what I said was only some word play and a little joke. Oh well.

Practice safe sex. Go fuck yourself !

Golden State fan here.

I’d just like to say we have no problem with controversy and controversial athletes. In fact, Cousins would be a perfect fit for our controversial stable with the most controversial coach in the business.

by Screwfish on Jun 21, 2010 6:33 PM EDT reply actions   1 recs

No, serious.

He and Monta Ellis can take controversial moped rides together and he and Anthony Randolph can controversially argue with our controversial coach Don Nelson.

Best guest commenter ever?

by Birdman84 on Jun 21, 2010 11:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

seconded

Definitely the first time a guest has been green’d.

by brgulker on Jun 22, 2010 11:04 AM EDT up reply actions  

you make a strong arguement

but can your players controversially yell “Dat BALL DON’T LIE!” in the middle of a controversial game 5 of the controversial 2007 eastern conference finals in which Antonio McDyess was controversially thrown out of game 6? I think not.

by bearded thundar on Jun 21, 2010 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

We can't

because we’re too controversial to make a controversial Conference Finals series.

by Screwfish on Jun 22, 2010 12:49 AM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

ehh

you guys aren’t even close in that department, Kobe allegedly raped someone and he made the NBA Finals the following summer

Also from GSOM

wanted to say that this is totally hilarious.

Pro-Skub for life

by Reverend_Randy on Jun 21, 2010 7:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

The best part is

there would be more controversy over at Canis Hoopus if we don’t take the Controversial Cousins… a terrible band name by the way.

Dear lord I hope we take him…

Buckeyes are red, Wildcats are blue,
I wanted Evan Turner, But DeMarcus Cousins will do.

Rumor has it, Cousins just sent out a statement saying he refuses to play for any team but Detroit.

/Rubio’d BITCH!

by Roll The Dyess on Jun 24, 2010 2:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

you know, now that he can't be a Piston...

This might be the ultimate time to really stir up some controversy and give Sacremento hell for taking him
