Kings poke fun at new Kanye West album to hype DeMarcus Cousins
When Kanye West changed the name of his new album (again) to "Waves" via Twitter last night, it caused quite a reaction on social media. The Sacramento Kings got in on the fun.

While Sacramento's star center DeMarcus Cousins wasn't voted as an All-Star starter for the Western Conference last week, there's still hope he may get voted by the coaches as an All-Star reserve. Fans will find out tomorrow at 7 p.m. EST if Boogie made the cut. Meanwhile, the Kings official Twitter account campaigned for Boogie as best center in the NBA.
"Maybe he couldn’t be voted an All-Star starter," read the tweet. "But he’ll settle for being best big man in the NBA as a consolation."

The tweet perfectly imitated the original Kanye tweet, all the way down to the "co-signs" from Rudy Gay, Rajon Rondo and Willie Cauley-Stein. Earlier this month, Sacramento's head coach George Karl also said he thought Boogie was the NBA's best center.
In addition to the Kanye West parody tweet, the Kings have also released a parody of the iconic "Mean" Joe Green coca cola advertisement (this time featuring Boogie) and recruited help from the famous 'LeBron James kid' as well.
