"The whole idea came from the Shaq comedy specials," Cousins explained to Fitzgerald on KNBR 680. "I was like, 'Why not create my own?'
"I took the chance. I started off three years ago with my first one in Sacramento. Each year, it kinda grew. Hopefully, it's a huge success. It's kinda like my little project, my little baby."

Knowing what we know about Iguodala, the five minutes would include a lot of sarcasm.
