This took many hours and a couple skipped classes to make so a subscribe would be nice :) *torn Achilles in NOLA not ACL, sorry for the mixup:/

Tyreek hill was always my favorite kings player

Wish he never suffered that injury. We could be seeing one of the best centers in the league now.

I will NEVER forget the John wall, cousins days. I live in Lexington still. 25 years old now. Was 12 in 2010. I remember the WHOLE school doing the “John wall” dance. I went to Bryan station on east end of lex. LOVE your videos man!! Keep grindin homie💪🏾💯

Demarcus Cousins and John Wall are two of the players that really got me into basketball. I lived just outside Lexington my whole life and my mom was a diehard UK fan but I only ever followed or played baseball. I knew Wall and Cousins off pure name recognition in our hometown though and when they went to the NBA I’d see them from time to time on the TV just DESTROYING competition and it made me so proud. Wish the league would’ve given Boogie and Wall both more of a chance these last 3 or so seasons. They still have a lot to offer a team.

7:26 the irony of these players is most scouts/GMs didn’t really expect them to be what they became. Which says a lot about how often they can hit or miss with theses picks. 😅 Also it’s pretty funny how well mike coached cousins and now he’s coaching a even better version in jokic.

Boogie my fav center of all time 🔥🔥

Sadly I watched about every game cousins played in sac. He was in sac for a tough era for sure but he didn’t do himself any favors. He wasted about 2 fouls a game for the first 5 years of his career fouling people after he missed a shot. If he didn’t foul that player, he would yell at the refs and miss out on playing defense on the other side of the floor. And for whatever reason when the basket was made, he always grabbed the ball out of the net and handed it to the other team, rather than just letting it go and playing D. I’d say he cost the kings about 10 points a game by just being an absolute fool on the above issues plus getting T’d up. The stats were there, and he worked hard to get rebounds. He was and still is a very polished offensive player, but as the game moved away from the basket , he was basically the dinosaur right next to the meteor when it hit the Earth. All in all this guy cost himself about $200 million in salary because he was a jerk. Kings bailed on him and he never got the max deal. Then injuries hit and as of 2023 he’s nothing more than a boarder line NBA player.

This channel is gonna be big. Solid content man 👍

Love the hard work and number of videos you put out. Keep improving the editing, and you'll be 👌 I expect to see you at least at 50k subs by the end of the year. Love the content

This was a much needed video man. Thanks for such quality content 🙏🏾

Just found your channel. I love your videos man! Super cool how you really deep dive guys careers. This channel will have 100k subs soon, def has that vibe

I love through the whole vidoes you make you show highlights of the player even when your saying their weaknesses as players an I think you keep it 💯. Keep up the good work bro an I love how you always positive

Love ur videos man, always find a video of yours that answers a question that i happened to be thinking about recently 😂 u deserve more subs

A bad attitude can stifle your life and trajectory. This guy is a masterpiece example of that. Dominant player but emotionally unstable creature...

Demarcus Cousins was the personification of the Sacramento Kings

Watching that boogie injury live was painful, great vid mane!

Just dawned on me.....Both Sacramento players Boogie & Isaiah Thomas were inches away from HUGE paydays before injuries. WOW!! Boogies Achilles and Isaiahs hip. Damn

I just want to say, Jimmer Ferdette was ON TOP OF THE WORLD back then. He was the clear number one pick that year. Hindsight was 20/20 100%.

underrated channel! keep going brother.

That Summoning Salt music at the end.... Lol. I was like, "Wait, what am I watching?"

His biggest issue was his attitude problem. That’s the reason he fell to us at 5 in the draft. They thought he would mature but he never did. I remember getting court side tickets 3 rows back from the court one game. He had an attitude with EVERYONE the entire game! Including his teammates. I remember his teammates constantly tried cheering him up the entire game but it wasn’t working. They were patting him on the back and he was shoving their arms out of his way.

Just subscribed after watching 2 videos I’m a fan

Became a kings fan when I saw them play live against the clippers, cousins was one of the reasons I stayed a fan

So naturally gifted

thank you for making a video about one of my fav players! instants subscribe :D

I don't understand why the Los Angeles Lakers don't sign DeMarcus Cousins to vet minimum. The one position on the roster that they are NOT three deep is center. Add to that the fact that his old teammate Anthony Davis is still there, and more injury prone than ever, and this should be a no-brainer. In fact, the Lakers did work out Boogie about a month or two ago, so I feel like something weird is going on behind the scenes. 🏀

One of my favorite big men since the 2000s.

Really enjoying your channel my man 👍

Good video. Should also note that Kings management told the players (all of whom wanted GK gone) that he would be fired by AS break. There are also people lying about him running off guys like Seth, which could not be further from the truth. George Karl was talking trash about that team and telling guys like Seth that they wouldn't be in the league in a few years, and Cousins would publicly go against that. GK also tried to get people in the Kings media fired for criticizing him because he was so terrible at his job. People still trying to blame him for the Kings constant and repeated failures are beyond clueless.

Boogie should be in the league, he's 2-3 years past his 2 recent injuries an played well for the Nuggets, even post a double double in a stsrt for the Joker, definitely should be playing nba ball.

Great video man

Boogie had his run. A lot of great bigs careers have been cut down due to lower leg and/or back injuries. Yao, Sampson, D Howard, Larry Bird, etc real basketball fans will remember his reign during the early to mid 2010s.

He was the top 10 most talented big I’ve seen frfr

this channel is so sick man - lkeep it up

He was sweet AF but an emotional infant (the clips of Dunkin just Schooling him will always be my favorite memory of him)

The bullet part has me cryinngg

We’re finally landing by home is the song at the end

Feel so old 💔

Nice job, I'm glad I caught the premiere. I hope Boogie ends up a role player somewhere...

This dude could've been a top 25 player off all time. He had that ability and talent. He is the modern day Derrick Coleman, 💯%

Hell yeah. You already did one on Demarcus Cousins. lol

5:30 did you say tyreke hill? I’m pretty sure you meant to say evans but maybe I heard this wrong idk. Good video. Loved watching wall and cousins together that team was fun

I remember Sacramento loved this guy and was actually happy when he got traded

He says he got his front teeth knocked out four times in high school like it’s nothing. And just keeps talking 😂 😭

Still a legend. NBA didn’t want him to be great. It’s no secret.

I've wished the Sixers would sign him the last two years but we got DeAndre Jordan, Montrezl Harrell & Dewayne Dedmond. Awesome. 2nd round exit here we come 😩

Great video bro earned a new sub 🔥

Great video

I remember seeing him with Jidion man it’s so sad the coaches wasted his potential and his injuries

Good video young man..

Need to do one on Montrezl harrel

In that recruiting class, NC State finished second for Cousins, Wall, and Derrick Favors. It hurts

I think the only part of the kings story you missed was that when they traded boogie they were on pace to lose their 1st round pick. By trading and tanking they could have drafted Fox and Donavan Mitchell… but they traded down and took Justin Jackson and Harry Giles.

Much of most sport is mental. All the talent in the world won't cover up mental weakness and you'll just be added to the long list of gifted athletes that didn't have "it"

Cousins was the shit!!! Crazy skilled for such a big guy. He was the closest thing I have seen to shaq. Very very dominant!!

He was definitely blacked balled

once Boogie Cousins went down in 2017-18 , that Achilles tear was absolutely went downhill for sure 100%%%%

Good stuff bro

What him and AD could've been, if he didnt tear his Achilles, we would've re-signed him, and would've been a matchup nightmare for years.

How do you have less than 10k subs,i was so surprised when i saw that. Kepp it up mate,no doubt your channel will get big

Perfect segway to the rise and fall of john wall

It sounds crazy to say now, but i remember everyone saying to just cancel the season when cousins joined the warriors. And they didn’t even win that year

Our son Rochelle is in Stockton California

I remember boogie was set to be the highest paid player at the time at like 219 million with that super max. Instead vlade divac traded him for a bag of chips. One of the worst trades in nba history but then again if we signed him at the super max we would have been screwed too because that was the beginning of his downfall.

Shoutout to Coach Allen

Suscrbing simply because you used an Icytwat beat in the background

He being blacklisted. Still better than most centers in the NBA

I hear some Jon Bois influence with that outro music.

Did I thought what Demarcus Cousins did @ 13:18? 😂😂😂

He could’ve turned into what Jokic is 🤯

As a nuggets fan, just wanna thank the kings for Michael Malone…he got us the 1 seed. 😂 Cousins on the nuggets was great. His temper was in check, because of Malone of course, but ever since his injuries, he was so immobile, it was sad to see when remembering his kings days. Injuries suck, I’m sure if it wasn’t for the leg injuries, he’d still be playing…at least in China lol

He had the potential to be the next CWebb. Just didn't figure out how to find a home

9:41 andddd Michael Jordan took that personal and made sure to claim that title too lol

Do Timofey Mozgov, my favorite player. I don't care what anyone else says

What’s the song at the beginning the rock n roll song

Single parent homes breed monsters. Sometimes the monsters can get tamed but many times they don’t.

Tyreke Evans at 5:30

He can help so many teams right now man.. I get that his behavior his holding him back but man, no NBA team is willing to give him a 10 day? It’s insane and it shows that he’s being blackballed by the NBA because he’s still that guy

How is DJ still in the league and not Boogie?

Did he say "Tyreke Hill"?? 😂🤣 Close enough, I guess. 5:35

*Boogie as an individual player would’ve been legendary without the injury.*

Tyreke hill was one of the fastest players in nba history wish it would have worked out

5:31 Tyreke Evans, not Hill🤣🤣

If it wasn't for the injury on the pelicans he would be top 15 today

I miss the boogie era

Great vid, but u called Tyreek Evans Tyreek Hill haha

Glad I'm not the only one who's made the mistake of calling Tyreke Evans, Tyreek Hill lol

‘14: Zack Lavine, JOKER (But everybody missed on him) ‘15: Myles Turner, and Devin Booker ‘16: Sabonis, Siakam, DJ.Murray, Brogdon The almost Kings roster is elite

I remember Damian working out with the Kings and they not drafting him due to having Thomas AND THEN TRADE IT. Absolute worse franchise of the 2010s.

He's a 20-10 player in 30 minutes a game. He played 654 games. HoF numbers. Per 36 he's even more crazy, obviously.

#bbn

Actually if the Kings didn't draft Demarcus, Kings would still rise. He destroyed the team chemistry of the Kings. Attitude issues can be a problem for the team. Paul Westphal tried to change the culture. They were on the rise until Demarcus destroyed. Toxic, volatile player.

I forgot about that team, How did that Kentucky team not win a championship 🏆

if sacremento was smart, they'd bring boogey in for some capacity, that would coax some old fans back....he is part of the history......

Who is tyreke hill

Dude could’ve been a hockey star .

You can call the kings front office bad at drafting but, imo, there's only a few teams that have been good. Those old spurs teams that drafted manu and Tony Parker, and kawhi The warriors who drafted Steph, Klay, Draymond and Poole. There a reason we see the same guys year after year in the all-star game. The average NBA career is only 5 years.

It's a crime that this man isn't in the league right now. Same with Dwight, Rondo, and Melo. I would take Rondo over CP0 rings any day. The league is so trash right now

you're missing a lot of context with the pre-2014 Sacramento Kings literally unable to pay players and actively tanking the team to force relocation
