Saying that basically to himself is not the same as "trash talking."

Kevin Garnett talked a lot of trash in his career though. Too bad he rarely backed up physically though. He was a paper gangster for the longest time.

Lol because he had a job that paid . I don’t think you know about Garnett before the NBA . He stayed kicking arse in the streets almost ruined his future . Nothing to be proud of but if there was an all out brawl between NBA guys, best believe Garnett is someone you want on your side .

He was talking about a specific thing. I posted a video of it.


Kevin Garnett is a known shite talker though.

That's an incredibly stupid list. MJ and Bird are easily top 3 all time. Ali was more of an attention whore than a trash talker. Bird trash talked and immediately backed it up.

Jordan would be my pick. He was notoriously vicious, and not just to opponents. The story about making Kwame Brown cry in practice when Kwame was a rookie is classic MJ.

You know talking heads like Rose aren't going to give you the obvious list. They want to be different and want to get people talking. That's why it's pointless to pay attention to anything they say.

It's a good list in my opinion.

no Larry Bird?


The weirdest part is that Rose idolizes Bird as a player as well as the former head coach who kickstarted Jalen's career in Indiana. You'd think Larry would have been an automatic on his Top 5.

It’s hard to argue against Ali as #1.


For all intents and purposes he invented it. And backed up everything he said in the ring. No one has even come close since.

MJ is definitely up there, no one talked more shite than Jordan, but I can't believe TO ain't on here or even Ohocinco. LOL Wilt Chamberlain in his day was another one. LOL

My favorite Bird shite talking story is the one about him drilling a three in front of the Pistons (I think) bench on Christmas Day, turning and yelling “Merry fricking Christmas” at them as he ran back down the court.

Also how he would always ask personnel from the home team what the scoring record was in that arena before the game

Jalen Ramsey will make this list one day if he keeps playing at this high level.

ETA: I forgot to mention, but one of my favorite shite talkers of all time in the NFL is Courtland Finnegan.

Chris Paul talk a lot of shite too. All the Miami hurricanes teams from the 80s and early 90s.

I mean were McEnroe and Sanders actual trashtalkers per textual interpretation of that term? I know McEnroe bitched a ton and Prime Time showed up his opponents with the high-stepping and dancing but never recall them ever perceived as trashtalkers in the sense like Ali and Reggie, I'd personally replace those 2 with Larry Bird and Gary Payton, maybe Lawrence Taylor, Shannon Sharpe or Ray Lewis IDK Ray LOVED talking shite to opponents
