5. DeMarcus Cousins and Action Bronson

This is an easy one. Action Bronson, the unapologetic MC, just got a new show on Viceland called “F—, that’s Delicious” and if DeMarcus Cousins wasn’t preoccupied playing for the Sacramento Kings he could easily be his co-star.

Bronson’s been rapping on the third rail since 2011 and Cousins has been dominating in the small market of Sacramento since he entered the league in 2010. Their debuts are close enough.

Both Bronson and Cousins approach things with a certain DGAF attitude.

“See me hangin’ out the window, screamin’ ‘What, what?’/No more tough luck, a different cloth is what I’m cut from” as Bronson rhymes on Actin’ Crazy could be about either of them.

You can’t find an NBA star quite like Boogie, nor can you find a rapper like Bronson right now, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find comparisons throughout history.

Bronson’s been compared to New York rapper Ghostface Killah. Meanwhile, you can see a lot of Charles Barkley’s game in Cousins. Ghostface and Chuck are both considered all-time greats.

But can Bronson and Cousins live up to those comparisons? Probably not. They’re both just a little too… weird.
