Here’s the Sacramento Bee reporting an old story about two key Kings:
Rajon Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins laugh about it now.
Cousins was a rookie known more for being a hothead than a hot talent. Rondo was an All-Star but also known for being a hothead.
So when Rondo’s Boston teammate Kevin Garnett tumbled and landed next to the Kings’ bench and Cousins stood over him, Rondo did what came naturally.
He shoved Cousins.
“That just was just him taking up for K.G.,” Cousins recalled recently. “I respect him for that.”
That respect has grown as the two became teammates this season.
