That may be my favorite story of Larry Legend talking trash, but here are a few other close seconds:īefore the first three-point shooting contest, Larry went into the locker room and just quietly looked around until someone asked him what he was doing and he replied that he was trying to figure out who was going to come in second. He told poor Xavier McDaniel exactly how he was going to hit the game-winning shot and there was nothing McDaniel could do to stop it. He didn't cross the line like Kevin Garnett, he simply got in his opponent's head and backed up everything he said. Still, there remains one more player who, at least on this list, is better than the greatest player of all time. Trash-talk was just another weapon in the arsenal for Michael Jordan and, as the best player ever, he backed up what he said nearly every time. The opposing player would try to go back at Jordan and would obviously not be able to match what Jordan was doing.

He did what he could to get in his opponent's head and it worked for him. What's most important to note with Jordan, though, is the fact that trash-talk was simply part of the game with him. Or, Jordan mouthing, 'He can't guard me' after repeatedly scoring on Gerald Wilkins. There are other great stories with Jordan, such as the time MJ told Nick Anderson what move he was going to do, then still managed to beat Anderson with it. Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest of all time: Michael Jordan. Mutombo told him to shoot it with his eyes closed, he did, he swished it. That is about as good as it gets in terms of backing up your talk.

This video above of Michael Jordan hitting the free throw with his eyes closed, then saying to Dikembe Mutombo, 'Welcome to the NBA' is just unbelievable to me. As a Celtics fan, I love him, but if he weren't on the Celtics, he may be public enemy No. He is the ruthless bully that crosses the line simply to get in the opponent's head and win games.

He said what he needed to say, it threw Melo off, the Celtics won, KG won. Think about it: Garnett said what he said to Carmelo Anthony, Melo shot 6-26, the Celtics won and by the time Carmelo went after Garnett following the game, KG had already won. While what he does may be morally wrong, it does help him win basketball games. These incidents are so outlandish and over the line that they almost have to be true.īut that is the ruthless nature of Kevin Garnett he will say and do anything to win, even cross the line and make a lot of enemies. Then, there is this most recent incident of Garnett allegedly saying Carmelo Anthony's wife tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios. He apparently called Charlie Villanueva a 'cancer patient,' but then clarified that he really called him a 'cancer to his team.' Yikes. Then, there's his post-block ritual.Īnd then there are those stories of Garnett allegedly crossing the line.

There's him taunting Jose Calderon while guarding the quick guard full court.

There are just so many instances involving Kevin Garnett that I don't even know where to start.
