Cousins calls Kings faithful his family in heartfelt Instagram post

DeMarcus Cousins is moving on, but not before showing some love for the people who've supported him for the past six years.

The All-Star big man was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans after spending his whole NBA career with the Sacramento Kings. He took to Instagram on Tuesday shortly after landing in the Big Easy to express his gratitude for the "most amazing fans on the planet."

Words can't even express how hard it is for me to have to leave the city of Sacramento and all of the amazing people that I have met while out here. I gave it my all for you and you gave it right back. The most amazing fans on the planet and I just want you to know that your support has meant everything to me. It's hard to believe that it was seven years ago that this young kid from Alabama showed up in Sacramento scared and not knowing a soul. As I look back upon my time here, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I have met so many amazing people, many of whom went out of their way to make me feel right at home from day one. Each and every one of you have played such an important part in my life and helping me become the person I am today. I don't just consider you all as fans, you all are my family...and a couple thousand miles aren't going to change a thing. Thank you Sacramento. #LoyaltyisLove
