DeMarcus Cousins Not Making Any Friends At Team USA

Carmelo Anthony came out of the first day of Team USA practice in Vegas — where DeMarcus Cousins is a member of the USA Select team there to push the London-bound squad — and said this about the Kings big man of the future (via Sean Cunningham on twitter).

“He fouled the s— outta everyone.”

That didn’t impress USA Basketball president Jerry Colangelo, who was blunt about it during a conference call on Saturday night after announcing the Team USA final roster.

“Show respect to players, and you get respect back,” Colangelo said. “He needs to mature as a person, as a player if he’s going to have an outstanding NBA career. So before there’s discussion about him being part of our program, he has a lot of building to do…

“He has a lot of growing up to do.”

DMC is a dumbass, and I laugh at anyone who said he should have been in over Griffin.

This seems like BS to me. As if they are trying to justify not taking a guy with a bad rep who would have helped the team

. No... this is about a player who's on the select team and playing like a thug mauling people and bringing his shitty attitude to USA basketball. Kind of a big deal you know...

That's alittle harsh to say although it's true. But if he was guarding LeBron, Durant, Melo or Griffin, I expect him to be forced to foul them. I think he played a bit of the four and was forced to guard them. Not entirely his fault but we do all know that he needs to mature.

BULLSHIT. Kobe said team USA needed a guy like him.

"He fouled the sh*t out everyone" is the best basketball quote I've heard in a while... Damn if Cousins was just a little smarter he'd be so good

[EveryManALion]

**** that, players are just too *****, DMC IS REALLLLLLLLL *****

[TexasBloodMoney]

DMC is the next best center in the league, hate on it.

not quite sure how to take this. was he being overly aggressive during practice to show he's not gonna take any crap ,even from star player teammates, or was he just being immature like everyone has stated?
