Because he is a legend.
Cassius concentrates on Caesar's tyranny on the Romans after being crowned.( unfortunately he died before becoming a king )
Cassius was one of the senators that Caesar forgave after the death of Pompey. Cassius saw this fault in Caesar, that was he wanted to be king. The best quote from Cassius was to Brutus in order to entice him into the conspiracy against Caesar was this one: "... a Senate half filled with Caesar's appointees would pass the "measure to give kingship to Caesar" and in doing so all hopes for the restoration of the Republic would be lost."
He is willing to kill Caesar because Cassius convinced him that this is for the people of Rome and Brutus believes him. So Brutus thinks that the conspiracy is killing him for Rome but really they are killing him because they think he will become too powerful
Cassius states that Caesar is no greater than he or Brutus (by birth), and is indeed a lesser man physically. So he feels it is wrong that he should be the one and only power in Rome, especially a Rome that was a Republic -- and therefore all Roman men share political equality (ideally). He also implies later that Caesar doesn't really like him and that upsets him: he isn't part of Caesar's inner circle.

Only if Caesar isn't good for the people
In 'The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,' Cassius is the most concerned about Caesar taking power, and accepting the role of king. He believed this was a betrayal of the Roman people's trust, and actually a blasphemy if compared to the glory of the Republic.
Well Cassius wants Brutus on his side, not only because Brutus was good friends with Caesar, but because Brutus is a very noble and loyal person that everyone wants on their side. Cassius is persuaded by another conspirator to trick Brutus into thinking that the citizens of Rome want Brutus to become king not Caesar. Cassius tricks Brutus by forging letters. The letters were said to be written by citizens telling Brutus that they envy him and do not want Caesar to become King, they would rather have him.

He was the first of many to stab ceasar. He also said, "Speak hands for me!" It was the last thing said before Caeser's murder.
When the crowds are shouting Brutus fears that they are asking Caesar to be the king. Cassius is trying to persuade Brutus to help him kill Caesar.
