Former NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins nearly comes to blows with fans after drinks thrown in his direction
A former NBA All-Star had to be separated from fans who tossed drinks toward him after he was ejected from a game in Puerto Rico. DeMarcus Cousins, playing for Mets de Guaynabo in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional, was tossed from a game on Monday night and nearly came to blows with numerous attendees. While exiting the court, Cousins was ridiculed by fans, with many of them waving goodbye. But others flipped the bird, with one in particular setting Cousins off. One fan gave Cousins the middle finger right in his face, and Cousins responded by reaching out to grab the fan. Cousins then continued walking, but that same fan then launched his drink toward Cousins. Several other fans followed by throwing debris onto Cousins, who turned around and had to be taken down by security. Earlier in the contest, one fan mocked Cousins with a crying gesture, to which Cousins responded by grabbing his genitals. He and that fan also had to be separated. Cousins' squad lost, 101-92, to Vaqueros de Bayamon, where JaVale McGee, Theo Pinson and Danilo Gallinari all play. Cousins, a four-time All-Star and fifth pick in the 2010 NBA Draft out of Kentucky, last played in the NBA in the 2021-22 season, where he suited up for both the Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets. The 34-year-old was on a Hall of Fame trajectory early in his career, averaging 25.2 points and 11.9 rebounds from 2014 through 2018 while playing for both the Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Pelicans. He then spent the 2018-19 season with the Golden State Warriors, but was injured and missed entire next season. Afterward, he played in just 89 games, started 18 of them, and averaged just 8.9 points and 6 boards.

Horror scenes as Demarcus Cousins clashes with fans in Puerto Rico
Former NBA superstar DeMarcus Cousins lost his mind in horror scenes that unfolded in Puerto Rico on Tuesday. The 34-year-old, who currently plays for the Guaynabo Mets, found himself in the centre of an ugly moment during a game against Vaqueros de Bayamon. Cousins was seen engaging with one courtside fan, who reportedly had thrown a few verbal jabs his way. The war of words however ultimately exploded when the 208cm four-time NBA All-Star confronted the fan. Cousins turned to the fan and from a close proximity grabbed his crutch before sticking a middle finger in his face. As the fan responded with two middle fingers of his own Cousins swatted his arms away as teammates came rushing in to separate the two. A fan in the second row attempted to intervene but that only further infuriated the 2016 gold medallist who raised his right fist. Cousins was eventually steered away from the courtside fracas, but that was only the beginning. As the towering American made his way across the court and towards the tunnel, fans began taunting him over the ejection. Fans hung over the railings to give him a piece of their mind as Cousins bit back at several fans before again putting a middle finger in the face of another. The fan responded almost immediately by tossing his drink onto the back of a departing Cousins. That ignited the American who quickly turned to run back and get ahold of the fan as security stepped in to stop him. As a squabble between Cousins and security continued to play out even more fans in the stands unloaded drinks and food in his direction. The ugly scenes could have been a lot worse if not for security getting between a rampaging Cousins and the fans in the stands. Many on social media stated it had the potential to be the second coming of the Malace in the Palace. Back in 2004 a game between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers turned ugly when a brawl broke out between players and fans. Just like it was in Puerto Rico, the infamous NBA incident exploded after a fan threw a drink at Ron Artest. Punches were thrown, chairs were tossed and in the end nine players were suspended after one of the darkest moments in NBA history.
