DeMarcus Cousins gets emotional, chokes up in Sacramento goodbye (VIDEO)

Sacramento Kings v Atlanta Hawks

DeMarcus Cousins may get criticized some times for the way he acts on the court, but at the end of the day, he’s a human with a heart just like the rest of us.

Boogie has done a lot for the community off the court, it just doesn’t get mentioned because he doesn’t seek validation or recognition like some others do.

Cousins gave a farewell speech during a going-away dinner on Monday night, and got emotional in doing so.

“My love for this city has never changed,” Cousins began, before fighting off a few tears.

That’s the real Cousins, ladies and gentlemen. Not the one you sometimes see vilified.
