BIRMINGHAM – From participating in a Basketball Without Borders trip halfway around the world, to hosting a free basketball camp much closer to home, it’s been a busy summer for DeMarcus Cousins, who also found time to get into what he recently told New Orleans teammate Anthony Davis is “the best shape of my life.” During a break at his camp Tuesday in his home state of Alabama, Cousins sounded energized about the upcoming Pelicans season, echoing Davis’ enthusiastic comments about the team’s 2017-18 upside.
“We’ve got an opportunity to do something special. I just wanted to take full advantage of it,” Cousins said of his focus on getting ready for next season.
