DeMarcus Cousins on the Pelicans: Well, I can say from my experience, we were always the stepkid to the New Orleans Saints. It’s an ownership group that owns both. But New Orleans is real cool. They’re very prideful about their Saints. I’ve experienced that, I’ve seen that growing up in that region. So, I know how much love they have for their Saints. And being a young organization, and you’re trying to compete with a team like the Saints, it’s hard for the public to do. I think they’re always the team like a stepkid.

DeMarcus Cousins: I do wish things could have been better (in Sacramento) because I was really passionate about winning. I do think I received a narrative that wasn’t me, and that can be easily confused between being a passionate guy and being in a losing situation. So I get it and I understand, but it just sucks that I ended up with a narrative that I don’t think I necessarily deserved. -via HoopsHype / February 17, 2025
DeMarcus Cousins: The way I’m wired and the way I’m built, I feel like I could dominate in any era. I’m very confident in my abilities, my work ethic, and the commitment I’ve put into my craft. No matter when I played, I believe I would have stood out. That’s just who I am. -via HoopsHype / February 17, 2025
NBA analyst and former teammate of Antetokounmpo, Demarcus Cousins believes that there is a possibility that Giannis Antetokounmpo could leave the team for a bigger market team if things don’t work out. “As his teammate I learned there’s always truth in his humor. And he’s a lot smarter than he likes to give. I could see that happening. Especially, if the experiment with Damian Lillard doesn’t go as planned. It’s obvious he was ready to move from Milwaukee once before. If this thing don’t work out, I could absolutely see him in Chicago. It’s right down the street, he’s comfortable in the Midwest. And obviously Chicago is a great market for any superstar,” Cousins said. -via Sporting News / February 6, 2025
