DeMarcus Cousins as a gymnast? OK, so it may be far-fetched, but Boogie can dream.
The USA men’s basketball and Sacramento Kings center shared his thoughts on competing in other sports at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, specifically gymnastics.
What #Olympics sport besides #basketball should I try compete in? 🤔 #CANTBOXBOOGIE

The average height of the US men’s gymnastics team hovers around 5-foot-7, and the tallest member is 5-foot-8. At 6-foot-11, Cousins stands more than a full foot taller than the five members of Team USA.
But that won’t stop him from dreaming of his time on the rings. For now, though, he’s doing just fine in basketball.
