It is normal that if NBA players take part in summer exhibitions, they are liable to go off. But dropping 91 and 85 points respectively, is taking it to new levels and that is exactly what DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe did.
The Kings All-Star Cousins and fellow Alabama native Bledsoe of the Suns put on a show at a charity basketball game in Birmingham, combining for 176 points in the exhibition — Cousins had 91, while Bledsoe had 85.
The NBAers were in town for the Eric Bledsoe Back to School Rally at Railroad Park, where Bled gave out school supplies to 300 local kids – The Back To School Celebrity Basketball Game was a part of the festivities.
Twitter went wild:
