考辛斯 生日快樂! 鐵桿粉絲必看!!

DeMarcus Cousins was born on August 13, 1990, in Alabama. Like any kid from the state of Alabama,he had dreams of making it in the NFL.

德馬庫斯·考辛斯於1990年8月13日出生在阿拉巴馬州。和阿拉巴馬州的任何一個孩子一樣，他夢想着進入NFL（National Football League 美國全國橄欖球聯盟）。

"When you're a single mom, you're just looking for something that will keep your kids occupied and out of trouble. "Monique said.

“當你是一位單身媽媽時，你只是在尋找一種能讓你的孩子有事可做、不惹麻煩的東西。”莫妮可說。

It was then that his attention was turned to the hardwood by AAU coach Danny Pritchett. By his sophomore year he was ranked the #1 player in the nation.

就在那時，他的注意力被AAU（美國大學聯合會Association of American Universities）教練丹尼·普里切特轉移到了籃球場（hardwood硬木地板代表籃球場）上。到他高二的時候，他已經是全國排名第一的球員了。

The day he received the ranking is the day things changed for Cousins. Opposing parents and fans screamed at this boy as if he were some kind of monster simply because of his size and ungainliness.

他獲得排名的那一天，對考辛斯來說，一切都變了。對手的父母和粉絲對着這個男孩尖叫，就好像他是某種怪物，僅僅因爲他的體型和笨拙。

Other teams were forming game plans to beat, scratch, and claw him until he lost his temper. During Cousins final two seasons in high school, his front teeth were knocked out FOUR times.

其他球隊正在制定比賽計劃，要打他、抓他、撓他，直到他發脾氣爲止。在考辛斯高中最後兩個賽季，他的門牙被敲掉了四次。

"I'm a thug, a bad guy and a criminal. I Know that's what people say about me, people that don't know me. But nothing could be further from the truth. "

“我是一個惡棍，一個壞傢伙，一個罪犯。我知道那些不瞭解我的人都這麼說我。但事實遠非如此。”

As teammates on the University of Kentucky in 2009-10, In many ways, John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins are like any other pair of good friends. They text constantly. Laugh at the same silly jokes from when they were teenagers.

作爲肯塔基大學2009-10賽季的隊友，約翰·沃爾和德馬庫斯·考辛斯在很多方面就像其他好朋友一樣。他們一直保持短信聯絡，還會爲他們十幾歲就聽到的笑話一同開懷大笑。

To get an idea of just how much of a good-natured person that Cousins is, you do not have to look far. He just took 100 kids on a shopping spree last year. When he signed his contract the first thing he did was give $1 Million to local charities. He also hosts a free basketball camp for underprivileged 7-16 year olds.

要想知道考辛斯到底是一個多麼善良的人，你不需要看得太遠。他去年帶了100個孩子去瘋狂購物。當他籤合同的時候，他做的第一件事就是給當地的慈善機構捐了100萬美元。他還爲7-16歲的貧困兒童舉辦免費籃球訓練營。
