Sacramento Kings veteran Zach Randolph is one of the toughest dudes in the league and isn’t one to back down from anyone on the court. He clearly didn’t back down from DeMarcus Cousins, as he went toe-to-toe with the imposing New Orleans Pelicans big man in their head-to-head matchup on Friday night.
The two had many verbal back-and-forths over the course of the game, one of which came at the free throw line. During one particular exchange, Z-Bo delivered a classic line, which was likely referencing Boogie.
“Where I’m from, bullies get bullied.” Amazing.
Z-Bo certainly lived up to those strong words as he bullied Boogie to the tune of 35 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Kings to a 116-109 overtime win. Cousins, meanwhile, had 38 points and 11 rebounds in a losing effort.
With the Kings shorthanded along the frontcourt in recent games, Randolph has been turning back the clock and putting up some vintage performances. He’s averaging 25 points and 10.8 rebounds over his last four games, numbers even Cousins would be proud of.
Boogie won’t be quite so proud of his performance, though, as his bullying tactics didn't work against the 36-year-old bulldog that is Randolph.
