DeMarcus Cousins has never heard of Paul McCartney

DeMarcus Cousins is apparently so focused on his NBA career that the only thing he has done throughout his life is play basketball and return to the rock he lives under. Is there any other explanation for not knowing who Paul McCartney is?

On Monday, Cousins was asked if he attended the first event at the Sacramento Kings’ new Golden 1 Center, which was McCartney’s concert. This was the big man’s response:

DeMarcus Cousins was asked if he attended the Paul McCartney concert that opened Golden 1 Center last week. "I don't even know who that is."

He has to be kidding, right? Surely Cousins has at least heard of The Beatles. Either way, this seems impossible.

We learned how great of a sense of humor Cousins has when he dropped this one-liner about a new teammate last week. The only logical assumption is that he was playing mind games with the media.
