DeMarcus Cousins swats kids' shots

A few weeks before the start of the 2018-19 NBA season, footage emerged of DeMarcus Cousins playing at full speed just eight months after tearing his left Achilles tendon in January. The new Warriors big man has no timetable for his return, but he's already starting to look like the Boogie who put up gaudy numbers en route to a fourth consecutive All Star selection last season.

Cousins also seems to have a new commitment to defense. He recently put on a defensive showcase during a visit to Malcolm X Academy in San Francisco.
