These two phrases have become synonymous.
Anthony Davis: All-Star.
DeMarcus Cousins: All-Star.
And those words made for a historic night Thursday.
The New Orleans Pelicans’ frontcourt tandem is headed to Los Angeles together next month, as both were selected as starters for the NBA’s midseason showcase. It’s the first time in franchise history the Pelicans will have two starters.
Davis will appear for the fifth consecutive year, his third time as a starter. There, the forward can try to repeat as Most Valuable Player, an award which he won by scoring 52 points in last year’s All-Star Game at the Smoothie King Center.
