It's crazy like how angry people were." Many fans have criticized the Warriors -- and Cousins, and Kevin Durant -- for the perceived lack of parity in the league caused by Golden State's stockpiling of talent. When Cousins chose to join the team that has won three titles in the last four seasons, there were some players who expressed surprise on social media as well. "And soon as it happens, it's like, 'He's too damn good to [be a Warrior].' So, it's just kind of funny how the narrative switches right away when things don't go the way they expect it to." Cousins added that several NBA players reached out to him after the news broke, and some -- including Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum -- tried to change the four-time All-Star center's mind.
