Former NBA champion Dwight Howard made a move to play overseas after 18 seasons in the NBA. Howard is currently playing for the Taoyuan Leopards of the T1 League in Taiwan. And now it looks like Howard will have some company while playing overseas. Four-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins will reportedly be signing with a team in the T1 League. ?

DeMarcus Cousins played 11 seasons in the league with seven different teams. The most notable time of his career in the NBA was with the Sacramento Kings and his stint with the Golden State Warriors.

?Boogie? Cousins was an absolute beast when he was playing for the Sacramento Kings. His physique gave him a certain advantage over other bigs in the league. And he used his physical prowess to overpower almost anyone in the paint.?

One fan tweeted, ?Wilt vs Bill Russell.? While another fan commented, ?What a waste. Boogie can still play at the NBA level.?
