Where does DeMarcus Cousins's Raiders fandom come from?
The Raiders tie is reported rather than confirmed in an interview transcript. The outlet justblogbaby.com reported Cousins's remarks from The Underground Lounge podcast, in which he describes himself as "absolutely a Raiders fan." The quote is attributed to Cousins himself, but the report is what carries it, and no date is attached to it.
Nothing in the record connects the fandom to his upbringing. Cousins was born in Mobile, Alabama, in 1990 and attended LeFlore High School. He played at Kentucky in 2009 and 2010, then was drafted fifth overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2010. His NBA stops after that included New Orleans, Golden State, Houston, the Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee and Denver, and none of those cities is the Raiders' home.
