'If I ever did what Draymond Green did on the court they would kick me out of the league" - DeMarcus Cousins

— Tony Xypteras (@TonyXypteras) April 28, 2016

Obviously this is an exaggeration. A player with the size and skill of DeMarcus Cousins will never be out of the league. Shit, there are MULTIPLE teams that are going to VOLUNTARILY offer up max contracts for Dwight fucking Howard this summer, so I don't think that a player that makes Dwight Howard look like a useless bum has to worry too much about job security. That being said, he does have a point. The very same actions that get DeMarcus T'd up at a moment's notice are the same actions that get completely ignored when they are done by a likable player on a lovable team. Draymond Green never has a shortage of words for the officials, and let's just say he's definitely given the opportunity to earn the technicals he does receive.

I am not going to sit here and say that DeMarcus Cousins is being persecuted because he has created this image for himself, but he is definitely officiated more harshly than almost every other player in the league. He can't even throw a hand up in protest without a whistle blowing in his direction while Draymond Green is actively chasing referees down the court without acknowledgement. When you're a guy that has a very public, ongoing spat with your head coach and looks miserable at all times you pretty much invite that type of controversy, but that doesn't mean he has to be happy about it. Not when Draymond Green uses his oft-bubbly personality and his spot on a winning team to often go without penalty. They are both two extremely talented, overly emotional guys. It's just that one is in a situation where his emotion is a pivotal part of a championship contender, and the other is in a situation where his emotion is of detriment to a volatile team that can't possibly win without him. Again, it's DeMarcus Cousins' fault he's perceived as a dickhead, but when it comes to on the court transgressions he isn't all that different from Draymond Green.
