Kings drum up All-Star votes for Boogie using his feud with CP3
The NBA's most creative team-affiliated Twitter account strikes again.
The Sacramento Kings' social media team conjured up another fun way to solicit votes for DeMarcus Cousins to start in the All-Star Game. Ahead of Friday night's tilt with the Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento shared a video depicting the center's "friendship" with Chris Paul.

By spelling out Cousins' name and referring to the Clippers guard by his nickname, all retweets count as All-Star votes for Boogie.
The Kings' Twitter wasn't done there, though. The entertaining account tweeted this diss about the Clippers, which doubled as another way to vote for Cousins:

Sacramento previously helped get its star big man over 15,000 fan votes with a tweet listing five players who "should be the Western Conference starters," with only Cousins' name being spelled correctly.
DMC was sixth in West forward votes in the first returns released Thursday. He earned All-Star nods the last two years after being chosen by coaches.
