Boogie Cousins is the most overrated "star" in the league... Not even top 15.

    KAT and Boogie arent in the discussion yet. Gasol is better than both. Gasol>>Boogie>KAT. KAT's defense and total lack of awareness make him a liability on the court. Hoping he improves that, because he is an amazing talent.

    Boogie is a fantastic HOF talent. Where he is overrated is in his maturity. It's laughable that people call him an adult because he acts like an angry teenage boy half the time. I will say this though - if Zbo could turn his career around once he gained a little maturity, Boogie could do the same and be wayyy better than Zbo.

    Zbo in Portland is Cousins in Sacramento
    Zbo in Memphis is Cousins in ?????

    I will say this about Cousins though - his style of play is at odds with current winning strategy and I think that's why he(and to some extent Anthony Davis) have not seen the success from their teams to match their talent levels. I think this is why it's very significant that new bigs like Kat and AD are extending their range out to the 3pt line. It takes a very high 2pt percentage to make up for less efficient 3pt shooters when you extrapolate those numbers across 96ish possessions. Fact is Boogie can be the best player on the court by a long shot and yet a lesser player who shoots a lot of 3s or gets a lot of high percentage assists can be a better indicator of Boogie team's success.

    You do not get to the HOF based on talent. You get there based on accomplishments.

    Lol even in those highlights he gets ejected . He doesn't play defense. Defense is so key for big men

    Meyers Leonard broke the code and said out loud what most players probably think. Not a good move for him.

    It made me laugh watching him talk with his box score of 0/2/2 showing on the bottom/right while Cousins had 55/10.

    don't think he broke the code at all because he didn't say what cousins really said. Regardless he doesn't like cousins for him specifically and made it known without truly airing out the actual quotes . props to him

    You get there based on numbers. If Boogie stays healthy he will have the numbers.

    Oh no.

    How often does an NBA player share a profanity directed at him by another NBA player? Close to never. That is hardly an act of restraint.

    How often does an NBA player say, "His antics are over the top", "He's disreptful, he's out of line", "I can't respect someone like that", "He did it to himself"?

    Meyers Leonard didn't just break the code, he shattered it to pieces. Most NBA players would have kept their mouth shut and mumbled something like, "It is what it is".

    I'll give him "props" for having the rare courage to speak out, not for holding back (which he did not).

    He took an injury riddled team...lmao. Anthony Davis is the injury in said riddle. Smh. It does matter if he hasn't won a playoff game - ever - if boggies lack of playoff experience is mentioned. Bottom line, they're both the faces of failing franchises but happen to be the best at their respective positions. Luckily for boogie he decided not to extend as long with his contract so he can leave or be traded to a contender sooner than later.

    who cares. there comes a time when enough is enough. I'm glad he said those things. Cousins acts like he can do whatever he wants. It's no wonder the culture of his own team is absolute trash. He already started out by saying he can't say directly what was said. That's enough right there period. he could of said direct quotes and blasted cousins but he didn't. Anything else is his own opinion and fair game.

    You don't get it. Playoff stats don't count towards HOF numbers. Smh Boogie will shatter several HOF'ers numbers before he's done if he stays healthy. Rudy T can't make the HOF yet because of NUMBERS. He has everything else on his resume.

    To my knowledge he's a very upstanding guy. No problem with that.

    At the same time, his dedication to basketball since getting the extension is questioned by Blazers fans. LOL, I won't dispute that.

    Reminds me of David Carr.
