ESPN front page story from Thorpe has a blurb on Cousins. His answer: Dirk Nowitzki

Excerpt:

Few players deal with more defensive attention and hard fouls on a nightly basis than Dirk, who also has to produce every night to give his team a chance to win. Yet he's a phenomenal teammate, a composed athlete and an emotionally charged player who loves to be the go-to guy.

Also says he likes the passion Cousins shows, just he needs to control it. Kind of a 180 from the last article about Cousins being too nonchalant, but hey, whatever.
