DeMarcus Cousins delivers emotional goodbye to Sacramento: 'My love for this city has never changed'

 

DeMarcus Cousins’ trade to New Orleans came as a shock on Sunday. On Monday, Cousins was back in Sacramento to say goodbye to the city that has been his NBA home for the past seven years.

According to The Drive 1140’s Carmichael Dave, Cousins held a going-away dinner in Sacramento before taking off to join the Pelicans. He grabbed the microphone and thanked his fans in Sacramento, having to pause at times to fight back tears.

Cousins said:

“My love for this city has never changed … My love for this city has never changed. Even though I’m gone, it will still be the same. I’m still looking out for these kids. Every family in this city matters to me. Every soul in this city matters to me. Everything’s the same. I’m just not in a Kings uniform anymore, which is OK. The love will still go on.”
