We have finally learned that DeMarcus Cousins will replace Kobe Bryant at the 2014-2015 NBA All-Star game. Kobe Bryant will not play in the game for the second straight year due to his torn rotator cuff which will be him sidelined for 9 months. DeMarcus Cousins has been the “king of snubs” the past couple of years when it comes to the all-star game, but that is no longer the case.
