DeMarcus Cousins posed a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
U.S. Olympian DeMarcus Cousins is one of the most complicated personalities in basketball, an uber-talented big man whose intensity and passion often go overboard and get him into trouble. The nearly 26-year-old Cousins is not a man who suffers fools, even if they employ him. If he doesn’t like a move from the Sacramento Kings, he’ll let everyone know about it.
Cousins does not appear to be softening his approach much now that he’s a representative of the United States at the world’s biggest sports event. When asked a somewhat philosophical question on Thursday, the two-time All-NBA Second Team selection turned the tables on an unsuspecting reporter:

And here’s the transcript if you can’t make it all out:
Reporter: What would you ask yourself if you had one question to ask yourself?
Cousins: Say that again?
Reporter: If you hadd one question to ask yourself, and you were standing down here, what would you ask?
Cousins: I’d probably ask myself what would that one question be.
Cousins and the reporter then became unstuck in time. Both have been listed as “probable” for Saturday’s tournament opener against China.
