I feel bad for DeMarcus Cousins getting so overshadowed last night

While the rest of the world was watching Steph Curry and the Warriors decimate the Spurs (Warriors are soft and a fluke, right guys?), something else huge was going down. DeMarcus Cousins dropped an NBA season-high 56 points.


Unreal game. Do people realize what he's doing this season? He's averaging 27.6 points per game. 27.6! He's averaging 34.4 points in January and 41 in his last four games. He's getting to the line at will and, unlike some of the other upcoming big men in the league, actually hits them at 74%. He's kinda sorta added a 3 this season (but probably shoots it too much) and just bullies people down low. Plus, he's a really good passer. When he's engaged and not losing his mind, only Anthony Davis can approach him among big men. Between the ultimate small ball team demolishing the best defense in the league and DeMarcus showing he can eat defenders alive, last night was a very bad night for centers every where.

As an added bonus to his charm, no one has a better look of disbelief after not getting a call. You'd think he'd be used to it by now, since I'm pretty sure he starts every game with four fouls.
