Former All-NBA Superstar Signs with Chinese Club on FIBA 3×3 Tour

Former All-NBA center and four-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins had made a huge announcement.

Cousins has decided that he will join the 3×3 World Tour team Wuix WenLuv from China.

Cousins signed a contract with the team and will join the team until the end of the season.

The 34-year-old center last played in the NBA in 2022 with the Denver Nuggets. He signed a 10-day contract with the team and was given three different 10-day contracts before the Nuggets decided to sign him for the remainder of the season.

Cousins’ time was limited in Denver, and they ended up losing in the second round of the NBA playoffs to the eventual champions, the Golden State Warriors. Since then, he has played in Puerto Rico and Taiwan. In May, he was named the T1 League Most Popular Player of the Year, T1 League Finals MVP, and T1 League champions for the 2023-24 campaign.

Cousins’ time in the NBA is full of ups and downs, but it started as well as it could when he was selected in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft with the No. 5 overall pick from the University of Kentucky.

In his time in Sacramento, Cousins established himself as one of the best centers in the league with his overall offensive skill and rebounding ability. In seven years in Sacramento, he was on track to a Hall of Fame type of career as he recorded 21.1 points per game, 10.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.5 blocks while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 32.2 percent from three in 470 games.

After seven years in Sacramento, they decided it was time for a change, so he and fellow big man Omri Casspi were traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Tyreke Evans, Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway, and 2017 first-round and second-round draft picks.

The big-man duo of Cousins and Anthony Davis was one to be reckoned with; unfortunately, that only lasted half a season before Cousins suffered a torn left Achilles in Jan. 2018.

Since then, Cousins’ career has taken a turn for the worse. He was hopping around from team to team, including the Golden State Warriors during their run for a third consecutive title. He then spent half a season with the Los Angeles Lakers during their title run in 2019-20, the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Nuggets.

The 34-year-old still believes that he is at the top of his game.
