Former NBA center DeMarcus Cousins publicly criticized a reporter for asking what he described as a "dumbass question" that visibly annoyed Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant during a recent press conference.
Cousins, who has played for multiple NBA teams, took to social media to defend Durant, suggesting the line of questioning was inappropriate and disrespectful. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between players and media members over the nature of post-game interviews.
Durant, a multiple-time MVP and champion, has previously expressed frustration with certain media narratives. The Rockets organization has not yet commented on the exchange.
