DeMarcus Cousins and NBA Colleagues Seem to Be Having a Grand Time in Israel

DeMarcus Cousins' Tour de Holy Land continued Tuesday with a visit to the shores of the Dead Sea.

In what appears to be preparation for life under George Karl, Cousins and fellow Sacramento Kings big man Omri Casspi slathered themselves in a brown, muddy substance.

Then they shared a "mud hug," which is the best kind of hug.

Oh, and Iman Shumpert is there, too.

This is just the latest in Cousins' journeys through the Holy Land.

Joined by Rudy Gay and Caron Butler, the All-Star center traveled to Israel late last week and is taking in Casspi's native land one day and one fantastic hat at time.

Worry not, Kings fans. Boogie and company are staying sharp while abroad.

The Jerusalem Post reports Cousins is hosting a youth basketball clinic with Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday with the help of Shumpert, Tyreke Evans, Chandler Parsons and Alan Anderson.

Everyone seems to be having a great time, honestly.

And now, your "Tyreke Evans floating silently in the Dead Sea" moment of zen:

No hands, Caron!

Good times in Israel!

Dan is on Twitter. The Dead Sea is actually just a huge reservoir of Michael's Secret Stuff.
