The Kings have California's teachers covered

When it comes to human beings there is big, there is NBA player big, there is DeMarcus Cousinsbig and then there's DeMarcus Cousins on the side of a high-rise office building big. And that, my friends, is really big.

Yep, that's a 177-foot-tall DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans in your face. They're on the side of the California State Teachers' Retirement System building in Sacramento, and they'll only be there for a limited time. So if you want to have a looksy at some giant NBA bros, you better hurry. From the Sacramento Bee:

The California State Teachers' Retirement System, or CalSTRS, permitted the Kings to place the huge advertisement featuring players Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins on its West Sacramento headquarters building free of charge.

Standing more than 10 stories tall, and 65 feet wide, the banner was installed on the east side of the building and will be removed in late November at no cost to the state as part of a community campaign to be announced Thursday, said Patrick Hill, CalSTRS spokesman.

Well, the price is certainly right, Bob Barker. Allow me to go out on a limb and surmise that this advertisement is going to be a huge success. Via Ball Don't Lie
