DeMarcus Cousins says he really doesn't care on critics of Warriors move

DeMarcus Cousins returned on his decision to join the Warriors during the free agency signing a one-year, $5.3 million contract.

Per ESPN, "I didn't really care, honestly," he said about the backlash. "I don't really care. ... It trips me out to just see. It's crazy like how angry people were."

"At least, not brought to my knowledge. But, it's just kind of funny because before the whole thing started, I was just kind of wasted. I was damaged goods, not a winner, just everything negative. And soon as it happens, it's like, 'He's too damn good to [be a Warrior].' So, it's just kind of funny how the narrative switches right away when things don't go the way they expect it to."

"I'm just to the point where I've become numb to [criticism]," Cousins said. "I'll put it this way: If you live your life to satisfy every person that critiques you, then you'll drive yourself crazy. You will never satisfy everybody and what they feel you should do, especially being in this position. You'll never satisfy them. There will be somebody that disagrees with what's going on. I don't care. I don't care because anything and everything that's being said and going on is harmless. I walk around with my head high, I walk around comfortable. I'm good. What are they going to do?"

"I'm here to play basketball. I'm here to play at the highest level. I'm here to win games. Everything else will take care of itself. That's not my concern."
