DeMarcus Cousins' Olympic Controversy

DeMarcus Cousins has been a lightning rod for controversy since before his elbow was introduced to Jared Swopshire's face.  It's nothing new for the All-Star/Olympian, but this controversy is different than most. While the experts dissect his Tweets and the Kings' potential trade options, Cousins is being introduced as a member of Team USA.  During a trip to Harlem yesterday, he posed for a picture with his new squad, sparking controversy -- how tall is Boogie? In this picture from Adam Zagoria, Boogie appears to be the same size as Kevin Durant.  Durant is listed at 6'9" while Cousins is supposedly 6'11", a height he's been listed at since he was wearing blue and white.  Boogie's response to the controversy?  Get far, far away from KD. "I keep telling him to stop standing by me, man," Cousins joked to Zagoria. "I think people are starting to figure out, I might be about 6-7. He's every bit of 7 feet, every bit." I know some of you may be worried for our beloved DeMarcus, but I believe this is a storm he can weather.  For more from Cousins' Olympic introduction, check out ZagsBlog.
