Which is precisely why its suspect.

Guy tweets "I am sitting next to LiLo in the restaraunt! OMG, she is such a lush!". Could it in fact be that she is drinkig heavily and being drunkenly obnoxious? Sure. But fact is that's the rep. Once that's the rep, peopel will say that and interpret that almsot no matter what you do. Makes the story more interesting. You are sitting there sipping on a glass of wine. Lush! You aren't drinking at all, but laugh loudly at a joke. Well obviously you are hammered - lush! Or even if you do nothing...makes the story good and the tweeter gets attention/gives their audience what they expect/want.

And so random internet guy who claims to be Cavs fan and claims to be sitting in a certain spot and claims that Cousins (an opposing player kicking his team's *** btw as an additional boost) is mistreating people (who?) during a game in which whenever the cameras are on him he looks pretty happy and is even seen sharing a laugh with Smart in the second half...well I am both dubious, and do not frankly care.

Yep, it isn't Cousins. It is a random fan of another team that isn't in the same conference who has no real reason to disparage Cousins other than he wants attention and so he is going to just make stuff up. There is almost no chance that he was acting like dickweed.:rolleyes:

Remove the rolleyes, and there is a significant chance everything you said is true.

When someone delivers a very shallow report mirroring something directly off the headlines with no details to lock it down, if you're not sceptical as hell you are gullible as hell.

Take the blinders off and realize that there is a real possibility that Cousins isn't a very good guy. The rolls eyes are there for a reason.

Of course this one incident doesn't mean he is a bad guy. Their would have to be several incidents over a long period of time to suggest that DMC wasn't team player. Which there are. Not sure why you are so willing to dismiss a report from someone who has no reason lie. He isn't emotionally invested in Cousins and he knows his team is pretty terrible. It isn't a shock that a big man came in and played a good game against his team.

think about it for a second. A guy in the second deck says Cuz treats everyone like trash. How the hell would he know from the second deck. It's not like he can hear him talking to people.

The TV cameras didn't catch the moment in the game where Cuz climbed into the second deck and punched a child with terminal cancer before punting his puppy into the rafters.

After Cuz finished his interview with Grant and Jerry, a fan asked for his headband and he gave it to him. So, apparently, he doesn't treat EVERYONE like trash. I'll go out on a limb and say that the fan that received the headband disagrees with the hyperbole wholeheartedly....

I saw the puppy flying but didn't know if it was a flying puppy freak or what.

ive met cuz and had a brief conversation with him in person at a night club down town. he's far from a punk.

I am just as inclined to believe this story as I am the other one. Both may be crap but both may be true. If there are enough stories that show that he is a punk,or acts like a punk, especially in the heat o the moment, then I tend to believe there is some merit to them.

i dont care what you believe. it was the night that the Kings blew out the Boston Celtics last season (much like they just did this weekend). he was hanging out on his own couch at MOMO's downtown right when you walked into the place. couldn't miss the guy. i said "DeMarcus!" and he held reached his hand out to initiate a handshake. then i told him its nice to meet him and keep it up and he said thanks man i appreciate the love

I wasn't questioning your integrity. Sorry if it came off that way.

I am sure that he is a good guy. Probably even most of the time. I just don't think that you (speaking hypothetically) can patently dismiss the idea that Demarcus didn't treat people well during the game.

i didnt say that. i said he's not a "punk"


but speaking of "punks". the worst guy ive ever seen (ive sat very close to court at least 15 times in the last couple seasons so ive had upclose views where i can hear players actually talking during games) is hands down Blake Griffin. the guy is a dirty *** player constantly getting away with cheap shots and always talking **** to opposing players.

Well I did say "Speaking hypothetically".

I agree that Blake Griffin is a dirty player. I don't think he is a bad as Kevin Garnett though. That guys is a cheap shot artist.

For crying out loud, the kid said he was sitting in the middle deck. That's here (click for bigger):

Somehow he's got the inside info about how badly Cousins treats people...from there? Yes, his report can be patently dismissed.

Luke Walton agrees with that in particular

I almost, and I said "almost," felt sorry for Luke. DNC is quicker even without the 40 pound weight differential. I hate to switch to discussing basketball, but DMC on an average day is really quite awesome. He barely seems to be working yet puts up 20-12 AND he is upping his passing game. His recent "poor" shooting and rebounding was balanced by 10 assists.

"Cousins has been in the league for three seasons and already he has more suspensions, confrontations and run-ins with coaches, teammates and opposing players than it would take 100 players to accumulate over 10 seasons."

Damn thats one impressive stat if I ever seen one

That's not a stat, its hyperbole.
