DeMarcus Cousins & Melo Share Untold Team USA Stories, Almost Teaming Up in New Orleans, Teams to Watch After All Star & Navigating NBA Narratives

DeMarcus Cousins pulls up to 7PM and this one gets honest fast. He and Melo get into untold Team USA stories, including behind the scenes moments and personalities clashing that fans don’t really hear about, and what those experiences were actually like inside the locker room. They also talk about how close they were to teaming up in New Orleans, what was happening behind the scenes at the time, and how different things might’ve looked if that move had come together. The conversation also gets into NBA narratives, how labels stick to players whether they’re true or not, and how reputations can follow guys for years regardless of what’s actually happening on the court. Boogie speaks on how players deal with that noise, how perspective changes as you get older in the league, and why the mental side of the game doesn’t get talked about enough. They also look ahead to the teams they’ll be watching after All Star break. Tap in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
