DeMarcus Cousins Gets ‘Misunderstood’ Tattoo Because He’s, Well, Misunderstood

When I get a tattoo, I’m going to get one that says “Cliche.” Then maybe I’d fit in with Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins who got a new tattoo on his leg that says “Misunderstood.” DeMarcus posted a picture of his new tat on his Boogie Cousins account:

You may recall that DeMarcus’ character was questioned around draft time. The Kings also hired an assistant coach specifically to babysit him. He confirmed most of the character questions early in the season when he practically invented ways to get in trouble.

Cousins bounced in-and-out of the starting lineup before getting consistent minutes from about March to April. He’s a good player with a lot of promise, but he needs to prove to everyone that he’s mature through his actions, not his ink.
