Nikola Jokic and DeMarcus Cousins were used to playing against each over but now they are teammates on the Denver Nuggets. The 31-year-old center joined the team as a free agent after being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks.

He has played four games for the Nuggets so far but has already become friends with Jokic and wants to continue playing for the team. Joker, for his part, admitted that Cousins proved him wrong.

“I love him,” the reigning NBA MVP said about Cousins. “Before, we were kind of rivals. He’s actually a really good guy. Fun to be around. Great personality. Can get a little bit crazy when the refs don’t go his way. He proved me wrong.”
