Brittney Griner Wants To Go One-On-One Against DeMarcus Cousins

Brittney Griner and the women's U.S. Olympic team have been blowing pass their opponents at the Rio games. Her team could easily be on their way to a gold medal. After that, who else is there to oppose the 3 time WNBA All-Star and 2014 champion? Just, DeMarcus Cousins.

Griner told USA Today's Sam Amick that she would love to face off against the Sacramento Kings' center and fellow member of team USA.

"I would love to just go out there and play against (Cousins)," said Griner. Now, the comments were in all in good fun. Griner and Cousins have been forming a friendship as of late.

"We talk a lot of crap to each other. I love talking to him. He's really funny. I would love to just go out there and play against him. I've never really been around him before until now, but he's like that big brother, just to talk smack to and who is always competitive. He's awesome."

What was Boogie's response?

"Whenever you're ready to get it on camera and see her get embarrassed, I'm ready for it," Cousins told reporters with a smile after Tuesday's practice.

It poses a nice question. Can Brittney Griner take Cousins one-on-one? Vote below!
