Sacramento Kings centre DeMarcus Cousins was just announced an NBA All-Star, and after today he may be considered an Instagram All-Star as well.

The 24-year old Cousins posted this picture on the social media site displaying a tweet from Fox Sports 1 writer, Clay Travis, dated five years ago today.

Today's the day!! Let's all show him some love!! @ClayTravisBGID

Winning.

One thing is for sure, Cousins has an extreme amount of patience in order to keep this tweet silent for the past five years. Although, it’s probably not something the Alabama native could easily forget.

Until today, Travis most likely forgot about the tweet all together, but he did reply to Cousins with a rather charitable tweet.

A valiant effort by Travis to make up for the incident.

Cousins is averaging a career-high 23.8 points per game this season, behind only James Harden, LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony.
