Ronnie 2K Disses DeMarcus Cousins On Live; Boogie Responds

Ronnie 2K accidentally called DeMarcus Cousins a "dick" during a live-stream, which he has since apologized for.

The NBA season may have been stopped because of the current global health pandemic but that doesn't mean that the league is exempt from the usual drama. Things have just shifted over to the virtual world.

Without the opportunity to compete on the hardwood, NBA players will be going head-to-head in a Players-Only League on NBA 2K20. The game's social media head, Ronnie 2K, is well-known in the basketball community and, although he usually remains diplomatic, he forgot that he was on a live-stream when he hopped on a call about the upcoming tournament. Speaking to one of his colleagues, he accidentally revealed his true feelings about DeMarcus Cousins.

"Cousins is such a dick, I can see him just being like, 'I don't wanna fucking do this,'" said Ronnie 2K, forgetting that he was in the middle of a live-stream. 

Once the 7-foot-tall center caught wind of the comment, he responded with a GIF on Twitter, which forced the gaming wiz to apologize.

"Bro in a moment of work stress, I said something super dumb that wasn’t at all how I feel about you," said Ronnie 2K. "My bad & I sincerely apologize. Let’s have some fun starting this weekend, bring the action and see if you can be crowned champ."

Rookie mistake.

Lakers’ HC Frank Vogel Says DeMarcus Cousins Will Return For Playoffs


Lakers’ head coach Frank Vogel expects DeMarcus Cousins to return from his ACL injury in time for the playoffs.

Los Angeles Lakers big-man DeMarcus Cousins is on track to return to the court by the playoffs according to the team’s head coach Frank Vogel.

“He’s on track to get healthy by the playoffs, and we’ll have to see where he’s at with rhythm and conditioning and timing and all that stuff,” Vogel told reporters during NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago on Saturday according to Bleacher Report. “But there’s a possibility he returns this season, yes.”

After signing a one-year deal with the Lakers last offseason, Cousins injured his ACL in August. The former All-NBA team member averaged 16.3 points and 8.2 rebounds in just 25.7 minutes per game with the Golden State Warriors last season. 

With the team already having Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, and JaVale McGee, Cousins likely wouldn’t see major minutes, possibly even less than what he averaged in Golden State. His addition to the line-up would be an added luxury to a team that needs everything they can get to top the Clippers and make it out of a loaded Western Conference.

The Lakers currently hold a 41-12 record and are leading the Western Conference. A trip to the NBA Finals would be the team’s first since Kobe Bryant led them there in 2010.
