DeMarcus Cousins might be dealing with the injuries, but he has already caused an everlasting impact in the NBA. He averaged 21.2 points, 20.9 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in his decade of span in the NBA.

Being the backbone of the Sacramento Kings till 2016, Cousins was moved to New Orleans to pair up with Anthony Davis the following season. The combination with Davis was expected to dominate the NBA, but then the Achilles tear happened. This was the start of the leg injuries for Cousins.

When he moved to the Golden State in search of a Championship, he suffered from a quad injury in the playoffs. Also, this season he was picked up by the Lakers and was expected to return, but had an ACL tear come in his way.

Even after all these injuries and missing of games, Cousins is one of the best centers of the last decade. He has made it four times to the NBA All-Star and two times in the All-NBA.
