DeMarcus Cousins says Rondo is the best PG/great interview

This is a lengthy video of DMC getting interviewed by Bill Simmons. Unfortunately, Jalen Rose wasn't available to interview Boogie along with Simmons, so it was a little disappointing. Overall, I really love watching Boogie operate in the post, and I do think he gets a lot of negativity and people doubt him. But Boogie seems like a guy who just has a lot of passion. Hes also a very gifted athlete, that just needs to learn how to control his emotions, and channel his passion the right way.

Loved last year's Sully vs Boogie game was a good battle.

i think cousins is a top 2-3 center.  top 2 if anthony davis isnt a center.

That's a bold statement.

Marc Gasol
Dwight Howard
Joakim Noah

Are all better Centers in my mind, I would say Cousins is a top 2-3 offensive Center. I don't think there is any center that is better than him right now offensively, except maybe Brook Lopez, but there's the age/injury history.

And Anthony Davis is definitely a PF. Its perfect if NO gets Omer Asik, putting Asik/Davis is a deadly defensive duo in my book.

cousins went 22/11 last season. 
gasol 14/7
noah 12/11

its not even close honestly.






keep in mind cousins is still 6 years younger than them.

Offensively? Cousins is definitely one of the best Center, but hes nowhere near Howard/Gasol/Noah in their ability to defend, make plays, anchor a defense. The Center is the last line of defense. Cousins is young, so he has plenty of time to develop the skills needed to be a great defender.

So Cousins' loves Rondo , Josh Smith wants to play with him, Kevin Love visited Boston and has said he would resign with Boston because of Rondo and Ainge .

BUT posters here will continue the to say no big time free-agent would ever come to Boston, and Rondo isn't an attraction for players around the league .....

I would much rather have Cousins than Marc Gasol. Gasol is severely overrated sometimes in my mind.

I thought that was a really great interview.  Boogie comes off better than I expected.  He seems to be maturing a bit.  Glad to see that.  It will be tough for them to make the playoffs like he predicted though.  Kings will be better, but I don't know if they will be that much better.

thanks for posting that!

A front line of Cousins and Love offensively could be very fun to watch.

I would want to bring in Cousins if I'm trying to build around him. A duo of Rondo/Cousins could be nasty. But Gasol is a perfect piece to a Big 3 if you're trying to contend for a championship.

A front line of Cousins and Love offensively could be very fun to watch.

And probably the worst to watch defensively LOL!

I feel like D. Howard is also incredibly over-rated. I know a couple die hard Rocket fans who swear they were a better team with Asik on the floor. Cousins is a beast and the only thing holding him back is his tendency to completely lose his mind on the court

[Endless Paradise]

IB terrible trade proposals that completely screw the Kings and land Cousins in Boston.

I liked Boogie's jesus piece....I think i might get one of those prob from Ben Baller

There's no way Noah is a better center than Cousins.  I think Noah has become massively overrated.  He's a great role player, but not a franchise centerpiece.

Noah is a mediocre offensive player.  His passion is off the charts, but his defense is largely attributable to Tom T.'s system.  Case in point:  the Bulls' defense is exactly the same with Noah playing as it is when he's on the bench.  For a guy with a supposedly huge defensive impact, that doesn't make much sense.

Cousins is elite offensively and in terms of rebounding, and statistically he rated out as a good to very good defender.
