Run DMC - "Despite potential, doubts continue..."

Just posted on NBA.com, an insightful article for all you DMC fanatics.

Here's a money quote from his team mate, Daniel Orton, when asked about Cousins:

Kentucky teammate, Daniel Orton, was asked to describe Cousins' personality.

"Uhhhh ... Ummmm ..."

Three-second pause.

"Yeah."

"That's the best way I can describe it," Orton, a reserve center expected to be drafted in the first round, said of not describing it. "Unpredictable. After a while, you can kind of predict what he's going to do. You can kind of read him as a person after a while, when he's going to get mad and stuff. Other than that, he's a funny guy. A great guy to be around. Really and truly, people don't realize it, but he's a loving spirit. Sometimes."

Ah, yes. The temper.

"If you step back and kind of laugh at it, you can kind of laugh at him, really," Orton said. "It's kinda like watching a little kid throw a temper tantrum. But it's a big little kid, so you've got to kind of control it before he gets way out of hand. He may hurt somebody, to tell you the truth.

"Definitely get out of the way if you can't handle it. You can't stop him. I remember one time, I tried holding him back. That was a mistake. I think he put a swim move on me."
