Former All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins spoke about why he is retired from the NBA
Four-time NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins was one of the best players in basketball during his prime. Making two All-NBA teams, Cousins was an all-around force at the center position.
Last playing in the NBA with the Denver Nuggets during the 2021-22 season, Cousins has been out of the league for a couple years. Still just 34-years-old, Cousins has continued to play basketball internationally, but is not actively seeking another NBA opportunity. Appearing recently on the Draymond Green Show, Cousins got honest about his retirement from the NBA and why he is not out looking for another opportunity in the league.
"I've actually gotten to a place where I've found that joy again in playing ball," Cousins said. "... You get a point where the job is overwhelming, it's kind of affecting your personal life, it's affecting life at home. That's kind of what the NBA became for me. Not necessarily that it was doing anything detrimental towards me, it was just more so the mental space I was in.
Cousins played for the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks, LA Clippers, and Nuggets in his 11-year NBA career.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
