Boogie Has Earned a Spot on the USA Basketball Olympics Team

[KingsFanSince85]

Um, I really don't know if I should spill the beans or not...but look again. Brickie didn't "copy and paste"...

It was Brick's parody -- though the actual article she wrote does take a few not-so subtle shots at Cousins' attitude and conditioning while going out of it's way not to recognize this as the significant accomplishment that it is (the bulk of the article is devoted to explaining how Cousins made it only because other players are injured or pre-occupied with the Finals, DeMarcus paid his dues, nobody better is available right now, there's a health concern, etc). It's been 20 years since Sacramento had a player on the US Olympic squad and our hometown newspaper decides the best way to celebrate the occasion is to have the reporter who's asked for him to be traded for years write another article about how this might be his last chance to prove (to her) that he's not a terrible human being.

I'm not going to link to it, you can find it if you want to.

OK. I've been had. Joke is on me. Thing is, it's not a stretch at all to believe she'd write something like that. You'll get me all day long doing this kind of stuff. She's that bad at what she does.

Oh I get it. Only reason I could tell is that Brick's done it before. Repeat offenders merit increased diligence, and in this case the emphasis is firmly on the offend half of that compound word.

But you know what they say... he fooled you once. It's up to you now to see that it doesn't happen again. The power is yours! (or something)

What did Boogie do to merit such relentless hate from her? Was it an old article that unfairly criticized him? Or was it fair and Cuz overreacted, refusing to spend time on her questions, creating a positive feedback loop? I still have no idea. In any case, I'm pissed off at the Bee for wasting valuable space on this crap. I was all ready to feel good about our star player's accomplishment but she just took a fat turd on my morning. Soooo annoying!!

The Brick rolling never fails.

Voisin didn't write that article; Bricklayer did.

Ah. I don't even bother to read her column any more.

See? I am having a hard time staying out in front of her anymore.

Oh wow I thought you were directly referencing the article since there were some similarities LOL

She's just that predictable. Actually, I thought Brick's parody was a little over-cooked until I read the actual article. Not that far off actually.

I redacted the paragraph about him causing an international incident on court, leading to an American divestment movement, causing a surge in unemployment and a resulting spike in suicide rates because I didn't think she would realistically reach that level of pathos until the day after the draft when her prediction Vlade is going to trade Boogie is proven wrong.

Aliene Voisin: Disrespectful Cousins Doesn't Represent Me

BY ALIENE VOISIN

DeMarcus Cousins once again showed why he is a polarizing figure in Sacramento.

Surrounded by hundreds of children that his agent insists he host every year as part of the relentless Cousins PR machine, there was DeMarcus Cousins standing alongside Sacramento's beloved basketball icon, the Sign Lady. And yet Cousins, who has earned tens of millions of dollars to play basketball, scream at referees, and fire good coaches during a long succession of lottery seasons, could not even bother to iron his shirt. His disrespect bordering on contempt never more clear as he stood with a lopsided sneer resting the weight of his rotund body on the shoulders of an elderly cancer survivor.

The whitewashing of Cousins' reputation is well under way now, but these continued...
