Former Kings Assistant Nancy Lieberman Talks About Handling DeMarcus Cousins as a Player

Former Sacramento Kings assistant coach Nancy Lieberman recently spoke to The TFU Podcast about what it was like handling DeMarcus Cousins as a player.

Lieberman explained that Cousins was often misunderstood because he had trouble trusting people.

“DeMarcus is a tough guy,” Lieberman said. “He probably deals with a lot, internally. He can explode, a lot of people can, if something is not right. He’s very talented. I don’t think he trusts a lot of people. And that’s really a question for DeMarcus, but I liked him. And he could be cold, he could be stand-offish, but at the end of the day, he cared about his teammates.”




You can watch the full interview below. It covers a number of topics including Cousins, her friendship with Muhammad Ali, Caitlin Clark, Kobe Bryant and the WNBA.
