With ‘Boogie’ Cousins, Warriors should have a surplus of fun — and emotion
The Warriors just got fun again.
They just added a dash of Boogie to their game. As in: DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins, who Thursday was given an official, if tentative, date for playing his first game as a Warrior — a week from Friday, against the Clippers in Los Angeles.
It’s worth reviewing how Cousins got his nickname. In his one season of college ball, at Kentucky, assistant coach Rod Stickland watched the new guy scrimmage and told him, “Man, you’ve got a lot of boogie.”
In other words, Cousins might look like a huge, lumbering fellow, the type basketball people used to call an aircraft carrier, but he’s got some style, some skills, some boogie.
