DeMarcus Cousinsas a gymnast? OK, so it may be far-fetched, but Boogie can dream.

The USA men's basketball andSacramento Kingscenter shared his thoughts on competing in other sports at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, specificallygymnastics.

The average height of the US men's gymnastics team is 5-foot-7, and the tallest member is 5-9. At 6-foot-11, Cousins stands more than a full foot taller than the five members of Team USA.
