Is DeMarcus Cousins a Raiders fan?

What has DeMarcus Cousins said about the Las Vegas Raiders?

DeMarcus Cousins described himself as "absolutely a Raiders fan." The remark came on The Underground Lounge podcast and was reported by justblogbaby.com, which carried the line as Cousins's own comment. The outlet's account does not give a date for the episode, so the timing of the comment is unknown. The fandom reaches us through that blog's write-up, so it is best described as reported.

Does DeMarcus Cousins like the Las Vegas Raiders?

By his own description, yes. Cousins named the Raiders as a favorite, which is how the report frames it: a stated favorite, not a passing remark about a team he has a tie to. Nothing in the record suggests the feeling has ended, and no source disputes it.

Did DeMarcus Cousins grow up a Raiders fan?

Nothing in the record says when Cousins started following the Raiders or whether it goes back to his childhood, so that question stays open. What can be said is where he comes from. Cousins was born in Mobile, Alabama, on August 13, 1990, attended LeFlore High School, and played one season at Kentucky in 2009 and 2010. None of those places is tied to the Raiders in any source, and the report does not offer a hometown explanation for the fandom.

Is there a connection between Cousins's career and the Raiders?

Not one that appears in the record. Cousins was drafted fifth overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2010 and played there until 2017. He then moved through the New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets, and has since played for Mets de Guaynabo, the Taiwan Beer Leopards and the Selenge Bodons in Mongolia, where he is listed as playing now. The Raiders are an NFL team in Las Vegas, and the Raiders appear nowhere in his career, so the fandom reads as a personal allegiance, not a local or professional one.

Which other athletes are Raiders fans?

Two other players have been reported as Raiders fans: Damian Lillard and Baron Davis. Both are listed as reported, the same level of evidence as Cousins, so none of the three is confirmed by a first-hand statement in the sources used here.
