During his 11 years in the NBA, DeMarcus Cousins was known as a hothead and someone who could lash out at his opponents.
It looks like not much has changed.
A video shared by Hoop Central on X featured Cousins getting into a heated altercation with fans after a basketball game in Puerto Rico.
As he headed to the locker room, fans booed Cousins and showered him with beer.
He grew enraged at that and had to be held back as he attempted to storm the fans and fight them.
WOW — DeMarcus Cousins was ejected, and fans threw drinks at him —
Cousins went after the fans. 😳

This scuffle is the first time we have seen Cousins lash out in years.
During his NBA career, he had a few instances like this, but few were as bad.
Earlier in this recent game, Cousins was seen having a verbal spat with fans who sat courtside.
It was very clear that tensions were high, and Cousins wasn’t happy with what he was hearing.
It remains to be seen if he will be fined or punished for his attempt to rush at the fans.
Cousins entered the NBA in 2010-11 and played for the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and more.
His career average was 19.6 points and 10.2 rebounds, and he was considered one of the best big men in the league.
After a short stint with the Denver Nuggets, Cousins wasn’t able to secure a new contract and started to play basketball overseas.
Aside from this incident, he seems to be having a good time playing in Puerto Rico.
But this clip proves that some things about Cousins will never change, and when he is challenged, he will definitely push back.
