It seems like it was just a couple of years ago when DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall wreaked havoc together in college. The superstar duo led the team to the Elite Eight before turning pro.
Wall was the first-overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, with Cousins being taken just four picks later. That speaks volumes about the caliber of talent John Calipari had at his disposal.
That’s why, even though they didn’t finish the deal and won the National Championship, Cousins still cherishes the memories from his days on campus at Lexington.
DeMarcus Cousins loved his days in college
“That’s the most fun I have ever had playing basketball,” the former All-Star told Kevin Garnett. “It was about basketball. There wasn’t no politics. There wasn’t no bulls***. The team, it was a vibe, it was a brotherhood. I knew my guy had my back, he knew I had his back. It was never cloudy. There was never, no grey area. It was always black and white.”

Cousins went on to be one of the most dominant big men in the league in his prime. He’s still trying to work his way back to the NBA after a successful tenure overseas.
