    ^ Trash talking is a method that I use to get inside the heads of my opponents on court. I don't flaunt my grades nor do I ask my classmates how they did. Academically, I'd congratulate them if they did well on an exam.

    What's with the hate, ashin? If you want some, come get some, brah! UH recreation center, tomorrow!

    You asked for opinions. Don't ask if you don't want to hear answers you disagree with. Personally, I don't think much of guys (assuming you are a guy), who trash talk in a pick up basketball game.

    If you are playing with a bunch of guys who actually let the things you posted get inside their heads, then you ought to quit playing kids in elementary school and play kids your own age.

    He made a remark concerning my academics, how is that relevant to my original post? Your subtly mocking innuendos will not deter me from becoming the greatest recreational player at UH.

    You opened the door when you posted how you have 'unadulterated ferocity...no matter the endeavor'.

    I dare you to go out before your next game, thump your chest and tell all the guys you are the best player there and you will whip their butts. Bring a buddy to take some video as evidence.

    If you can't do that, take that weak ***** out of here. :grin:

    Just trying to put my tenacity into words, that's all. Hard to explain when someone as competitive as me (I've once attempted to wax my... lion's mane... in an effort to beat my friends in a swimming contest) posts on the internet.

    You can absolutely gain an advantage by mentally frustrating your opponents. The best way is to use tactics that leave them feeling disrespected. Copious use of the word "brah" is a good start. You should also suggest that they are too out of shape to guard you and that their team should put their best defender on you as opposed to the current guy. Ditch the contrived bs about money in the bank - that's ineffective. Everything that comes out of your mouth should be focused on disrespecting your defender.

    Not in the least. I did however, add him/her to my sig, because his/her trash talking examples are very lame.

    bobrek's probably one of the weakest targets to get in their heads.

    Is this an accomplishment? I don't understand what immortalizing me in your sig has to do with basketball. And thanks for the tips, bigtex, I think I'll rep you as a means of respect, despite your alma mater. You have clearly transcended your trashtalking to new heights, even for an owl ;)

    Make a shot ---> "Splash Town!" , "Unh, take dat witchu!" or "GOOSE NECK!"

    Complete a great pass ---> "MMMmm Delicious Dishes!" , "Is there a hole in my pocket? I'm dropping dimes!"

    Nice crossover ---> "Chop! Chop! Iron Chef [insert area of residency ie: soufwest, noufwest, sugarland, pearland, alief]" or simply, "EWWWWwwww"

    Steal the ball (good defense) ----> "They call me The Warden because I LOCK UP!" with more successful defense you can add, "Who holds the keys!? Who holds the keys!?"

    Bad Defense on you (Important Note: must be in conjunction with above!) ----> "Shawshank letin' errbody out not just Andy and Red."

    It's OK if you use them, just cite DreamShook as your source. Don't forget to "mean mug" as you add insult to injury and lay waste to your pitiful competition. You're welcome :grin:

    TRASH TALK REVISION:

    "Splash Town! Admit 1" (admission can go up the more people you score upon)
