Just when you thought it was safe to call it a wrap on your rookie year and head home for the summer to dream up your own pranks on next year’s incoming crop of rookies, you find your entire vehicle full of popcorn. That’s what happened to Sacramento Kings rookies Ben McClemore and Ray McCallum (aka the McRookies).
This, after spending an entire year sporting pink Hello Kitty backpacks after each game (also shown in the video).
In the end, the rookies took the prank in stride…why? Because they’re millionaires they can afford a quick detail.
That large man you saw in the video pretending not to know anything about the popcorn prank, was none other than the Boogie Man himself, DeMarcus Cousins. Here he is below holding the evidence pre-prank with teammate Reggie Evans:
