I followed Boogie on Instagram and told him that my daddy love his game and attitude ( don’t back down). On his birthday, I asked Boogie for an autographed picture and he mailed his picture. My daddy cried with joy and admiration for Boogie’s kindness. In 2020 my daddy passed and I put Boogie’s picture and Coach Cal’s book with him. He’s in Heaven with his favorite memories. Thanks Boogie, Go Big Blue and your compassion

Thank you for saving me and setting me free. In Jesus name. Amen GOD LOVES YOU.

[@Soysauce882]

I've met him in Lexington and don't doubt your story one bit. He was extremely humble and appreciative of his fans. I always hated the reputation he had. The dude had an attitude on the court because he was competitive. Off the court he was as good of a dude as you could find imo.

This interview is a true testament of why NBA teams need real veterans.

[@itsladytruth]

For example the hawks, Nets, Heat( they need a backup center/PF), Grizzlies since Steven Adams is out could have got him or Dwight Howard

[@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju]

Markieff Morris, Michael Beasley and Boogie Cousins would TERRORIZE any team!

[@scandelez]

100%

[@adgee5401]

The front offices don’t want that. Real veterans give the ins and outs about the business. Life advice. Teams can control all aspects of a team without vets in the way.

@Showtime Basketball I LOVE DeMarcus Cousins. I'm constantly Googling his name to see if someone has picked him up. He deserves to be in the NBA.

From watching multiple Boogie interviews, I realized he is very smart. Knows the game and talk it too. Whether he plays in the league or not, def has a bright future in the media.

Great interview! I always viewed Cousins as a knucklehead but Nice 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 This interview changed my perspective. He’s a real dude with a ton of knowledge. I don’t think his body makes him capable of returning back to the league but if he makes it back I’ll be rooting for him 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Are you high? He got contract after contract even after being injured for basically 5 years straight. A team dont sign a broken player and pay him 3 mill a year if they dont want him to play.
