DeMarcus Cousins claims Nikola Jokic almost retired 

Former NBA big man DeMarcus Cousins recently revealed something shocking about three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. He claimed that Jokic nearly retired right before signing his $300 million supermax deal with the Denver Nuggets.

“When I was with Denver, our lockers were next to each other. I don’t remember who, at the time, had signed an extension, but I’m like, ‘Yours is going to be crazy!’ He was like, ‘You know, Cuz, I honestly think I might retire before this contract.’

“I said, ‘Man, you out you’re motherf***ing mind,'” he continued. “I said, ‘Sign the contract and just get fat at worst.’ Don’t pass up on the $300 million. You can’t do that.”
