[hoopsvibe]Sam Cassell’s Five Best NBA Trash Talkers

yeah there was a game i a few years ago twolves and warriors when i was visiting my cousin in nor cal where KG gets hit going up and no call and as clear as day: OH s*** you got to be ****ing kidding me ref!

my little nephew kept repeating that all day. we went to a restaurant that night and when the waiter was asking for our order he blurted it out. my cousins' wife was soooooooooo embarrased

 

If waving your finger back and forth counted, Motumbo would definitely be #1. Too bad they started giving him technical fouls for taunting everyone after he blocked their shot. That was straight disrespect but laughable at the same time. I'm suprised not a single person ever took a shot at him afterwards.

 

I'm surprise Shaq is not mentioned because he loves to talk it up as well.

For me, Hakeem has to be the best non-verbal trash talker. He does not need to mouth off, he just does it. Why waste words?

 

Are you kidding me? With those razor sharp elbows?

 

If you look closely.. you can see Mutombo say "DAYYYYUUMM!" right after Yao said that.

 

I know Quitten is taboo on this forum but he had the best line of the finals to the mailman. "The mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays" and Malone missed the crunch time free throw. That was gold!

 

I forget which game it was in the 94 playoffs but I loved it when an opposing player was about to shoot free throws and Vernon Maxwell walked up to the guy standing at the line. Vernon's gums were flapping at the guy and as he was talking Vernon pulled the guys shirt tail out of his shirt. As I recall the guy missed his free throws.

 

I laughed when Shaq blocked a Mutumbo shot and waved his finger in Mutumbo's face!

 

I wish there was a clip to this..
