What do you think of when you think of the Boogeyman? You know, the mythical creature that supposedly lurked under your bed or in your closet for the first 12 years of your life. The thing that made you have to have a night-light in your room, in your hallway, and yes, even in the bathroom.

From dusk til dawn, you were not safe.

Did you envision this entity as a muscular 6′ 11″ 260-pound being?

The people at ESPN’s Los Angeles studios came face-to-face with the “boogeyman” recently. Whether it was the same one that haunted their childhood or not, well, you will just have to decide that for yourself.

You may better know him as DeMarcus Cousins, the starting center for the Sacramento Kings.

Why the boogeyman, you ask? Well, that’s where it gets kind of simple because Cousins’ nickname is indeed “boogie”

How would you react if you saw someone at least a foot taller than you lurking around in your office elevator? Even without a mask, this would be intimidating. With the mask?

Well, I can say that my reaction would include more than one *bleep*. Many of these were rather tame reactions, I would think.

I would invite Mr Cousins and his alter-ego to my work anytime! Not only would it interrupt the monotony of a day, it would also be some form of revenge against some people.
