DeMarcus Cousins may be known as a hot headed player in the NBA but he is the type of guy who does not shy away from expressing what he feels. He even led the league once for most technical fouls in a season.

None of his heated moments in the U.S.A will top what he just went through in the Puerto Rican professional basketball league Baloncesto Superior Nacional where he almost starred in the state’s own version of Malice in the Palace.
The former Milwaukee Bucks center, a four-time All-Star as part of the Sacramento Kings, is making his second run with the team Mets de Guaynabo.

Cousins, who just last month was very busy on various media outlets and podcasts dissecting the NBA, got into a confrontation with a fan sitting courtside. They exchanged obscene gestures before getting stopped by Cousins teammates.
It did not stop there.
Demarcus Cousins gets soaked with beer
The fan who confronted by Cousins courtside was saved by the player’s teammate Theo Pinson. It did not stop there as the NBA veteran was again attacked by fans on the tunnel.
Cousins was proudly going out after being ejected by the game officials, something that fans did not like.
The ugly moment was almost over but fans threw their beer at him, leading to him going after them. It can be seen that there are at least two people who their beer at the player.

Cousins was ready to go after one of those guys but he was stopped. The scene was reminiscent of the Malice at the Palace in 2004 where Ron Artest, now known as Metta World Peace, got hit by a flying beer in the Detroit Pistons home stadium, triggering an all out brawl between multiple Indiana Pacers players against some Pistons guys and fans
It remains to be heard what will happen to Cousins according to the rules of BSN or if he will be suspended by his own team.
