DeMarcus Cousins has never had the coolest temper, as he finished his NBA career with 14 ejections, tied for the 6th most in NBA history. He also had over 140 technical fouls in his NBA career.
That's why, despite his immense level of talent, his career still felt slightly underwhelming, even making four All-Star Games and two All-NBA Teams. Two serious injuries didn't help, but his teams with the Sacramento Kings were never great, and even the good teams he joined found a way to fall short, as the Golden State Warriors did in 2019 because of his and Kevin Durant's injuries.
WOW — DeMarcus Cousins was ejected, and fans threw drinks at him —

That temper showed its ugly head on Monday night. DeMarcus Cousins has been playing for the Guaynabo Mets in Puerto Rico, and in a game against Vaqueros de Bayamon, he started to get into it with a fan sitting courtside. That led to Cousins being ejected and fans started throwing drinks and popcorn at him in the tunnel.
Cousins was noticeably upset, trying to fight through the police officers and team personnel to find who was throwing drinks at him. Here's an angle with an obscene gesture or two with the fan on the sideline that started it all with Theo Pinson doing his best to keep it from getting worse.

This is an eerily similar situation to the infamous Malice at the Palace in 2004, where Ron Artest was lying on the scorer's table and a fan threw a drink at him. Artest hopped into the stands and threw a few punches at said fan, which changed a lot of NBA rules about fan interactions. Puerto Rico may have to do something similar.

Tyrese Haliburton gets hostile reception from fans at WWE SummerSlam
Tyrese Haliburton attended WWE SummerSlam on Sunday night, and the Indiana Pacers superstar was given a villain's welcome. Haliburton was invited to sit in the front row at SummerSlam, which was held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. He was showered in boos when he was introduced to the fans in attendance prior to start of the event. There were clearly a lot of New York Knicks fans in the house. Haliburton and the Pacers defeated the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals this season. Haliburton averaged 21.0 points per game and had a historic performance in a Game 4 Indiana win that all but decided the series. Haliburton was also quick to roast Knicks superfan Ben Stiller after the Pacers punched their ticket to the NBA Finals. The Pacers went on to lose to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, and Haliburton tore his Achilles in Game 7. Knicks fans obviously have not forgotten how Haliburton torched them, and they felt no sympathy for him as he hobbled around on crutches at MetLife Stadium. Haliburton did not seem all that offended.

Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love’s ‘Fiery’ Response to Wife’s Take on Franchise’s Timeless Tradition
Green Bay Packers star quarterback Jordan Love and his wife, Ronika Stone Love, are truly in, well, love. The couple just got married in June, and with the Packers deep into their preparation for the upcoming 2025 NFL season, Ronika shows full support for her husband. In a social media post on Instagram, Ronika shared a series of photos from last Saturday’s Packers Family Night at Lambeau Field. The first photo on the post shows a happy Ronika in the arms of the former Utah State Aggies star signal-caller. “My version of a Lambeau Leap,” Ronika wrote as a caption. Last season, Love played in 15 games, throwing for a total of 3,389 passing yards to go along with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. That year was considered a down one for Love, but many expect him to come up with a bigger performance in 2025, as Green Bay looks to surpass its 11-win total in 2024. Fans react to Jordan Love’s wife’s Green Bay Packers Lambeau Leap Apart from Love, many others reacted to Ronika’s heartwarming post. Here are some of them: “Two Green Bay 10’s right there,” said a fan. Another one said: “Hair looks amazing” From a commenter: “Awhhhh y’all are so cute!! And I’m obsessed with the hair it’s giving SZA!! ” “Love the Loves!,” a social media user posted. Via a different commenter: “your outfit is adorable” Said another: “I love the fit! Both of yall ”
Reporter predicts how Commanders will handle Terry McLaurin trade request
The Washington Commanders are dealing with some unwanted drama as they look to build on last season's trip to the NFC Championship Game after star wide receiver Terry McLaurin requested a trade. ESPN's Bill Barnwell said that he felt the "most likely scenario" regarding the trade request is that the Commanders will have McLaurin in the lineup for their Week 1 game against the New York Giants on Sept. 7. On Monday morning, Commanders reporter Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic predicted that "the Commanders will keep McLaurin" despite the drama. "They can’t take away their star quarterback’s go-to receiver in a year when they’ve clearly gone all in to try to compete with the Eagles," Jhabvala wrote. "They don’t have much depth at receiver; Deebo Samuel isn’t a true No. 2 in workload, let alone a No. 1, and the only other proven receiver on the roster is Noah Brown, who is quite good but has a lengthy injury history." McLaurin emerged as the favorite target for quarterback Jayden Daniels as Daniels became the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year amid the run to the NFC title game, where Washington fell to the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles. According to ESPN stats, McLaurin ended the 2024 regular season with team highs of 117 targets, 82 receptions and 1,096 receiving yards. He was also second in the entire NFL with 13 touchdown catches. It remains to be seen if McLaurin will accept less money than DK Metcalf, who received a five-year, $150M deal after the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for him in March. Metcalf will turn 28 years old in December. "The Commanders also know they have much more leverage than McLaurin in his contract dispute," Jhabvala added. "He’ll be 30 in September, which means he’ll be 31 in the first season of an extension. It also means that holding out regular-season games could be career-ending. So, a deal will get done. There’s still time." As of Monday morning, DraftKings Sportsbook listed Washington sixth among the betting favorites at +1800 odds to win Super Bowl LX. The fact that those odds haven't shifted would seem to indicate that insiders believe the Commanders will make McLaurin happy before they face the Giants on the opening Sunday of September.
