Remember Cousins is the guy who responded to a question about academics before the Cornell game with "This ain't no spelling bee." :sHa_clap2:
But does he know where Slovakia is? :)

I love that guy. He's so genuine in a world of put on facades. Love it.
Here's a good article on the question and Cousins.
"Cousins deserves credit for exposing the rank condescension at the root of this question. The only reason to ask it is to expose the ignorance of the recipient, to indulge in a tired stereotype of the uneducated (and almost always black) American basketball player with no knowledge of the world outside of his immediate experience. The question itself proves nothing — plenty of my overeducated friends can't pinpoint Slovenia. All it shows is that someone has lived a life in which it was necessary to know the location of a nation that didn't exist before the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1991."
DeMarcus Cousins turns around a condescending question about Slovenia
Boogie is getting a lot of well deserved love for that remark. The funniest thing is that the reporter was trying to make him look dumb but the reply showed just how quick his wit really is.
Bakert, feel free to try to make that picture fit into any conversation. We won't mind.
He needs to make it his new signature. Then we'll go looking for his posts instead of avoiding them :).Quote:
