Why This Game Is Where It Is On The List: Whereas the game before this one made it to fifth on my list because it highlighted Boogie’s versatility, this game made it all the way up to four because of the brute strength Cousins showed off in another massive double-double.
He didn’t post many assists, blocks or steals (just four of all of those stats combined), but DeMarcus Cousins showed exactly why many Sacramento fans refer to him as the best center in basketball, putting up a monstrous 39 point 24 rebound game against a tough rim protector in Nerlens Noel. Boogie just happens to be even tougher than Nerlens, and about anybody else in the NBA too.
