Sacramento Kings center took part on the UNC/Kentucky alumni game on Sunday and was draining threes from all over the court.

DeMarcus Cousins isn’t exactly known for his range in the NBA. Of course, at a bruising 6-11 and weighing 270 pounds, the Sacramento Kings aren’t necessarily paying him to play away from the rim either. In fact, in five NBA seasons, Cousins has attempted just 69 three-pointers and hit on just 11 of those attempts.

Perhaps he’s looking to follow in Anthony Davis’ footsteps and change that up a little bit.

Playing in the annual North Carolinz/Kentucky Alumni Game on Sunday, Cousins decided to add another facet to his game and started raining down shots from beyond the arc. And while that fete may be impressive for the big man, perhaps none we quite as intriguing as this bomb from the edge of the UK logo, about six to eight feet behind the arc.

The form on the shot was pretty impressive, no extra effort and it appeared as though he’d practiced from that spot a few times in his past. The bomb was one of five three’s he hit in the first half alone, an effort that led to a 33-point, 18 rebound, and six assist effort in the 122-115 Kentucky victory.

Led by Cousins, the Kentucky roster featured Eric Bledsoe, Terrence Jones, Willie Cauley-Stein, The Harrison brothers, Dakari Johnson, Devin Booker, Trey Lyles, and Karl Anthony-Towns. As if that wasn’t enough, the aforementioned Anthony Davis was the guest coach of the Kentucky squad. That kind of star turnout helped the event raise $1.1 million to benefit multiple charities.
