#12 YEAR OLD TRASH TALKER CODE#
Payton was not to his relief, Pac-10 officials never invoked a code of silence against him. The cheerleader, who’d invoked the inner-city fighting words, “hookhead,” against Payton, had to be restrained. Source: Open Court 2) “Get Someone Out Here Who Can Guard Me” – Payton vs StanfordĪs a freshman, Payton hit a male Oregon cheerleader between the eyes with a wad of gum. If he saw you in the mall…”remember that time I crossed you up big fella and I gave you that thang and you almost pulled your arm out of the socket…you can’t guard me boy, I’m a Hall of Famer, I’m first ballot boy, I’m first ballot!” “The craziest thing about GP on the court, he was like that off the court. “I played with GP and I played against GP, he just didn’t care,” Shaq once said on NBA Open Court. Shaq has both played against and Gary Payton, so has a uniques perspective.

Someplace totally quiet.”Īnd like that journalist, Phil Taylor said: ‘He wasn’t the first player to talk smack, but he was one of the cockiest and most creative, and - credit him or blame him for this - he helped make trash-talking an expected, and largely accepted, part of the pro game.’ Michael Cage, who played with Payton in Seattle, once said to a SI journalist on playing with Payton: “You just want to go find a library or something. While MJ and Larry Bird talked a lot, none of them took it as far as Gary Payton – who some might argue took it too far.Įven Payton’s teammates were sometimes overwhelmed by his verbiage. We’ve already looked over Michael Jordan’s best trash talk, and then Larry Bird’s trash talking, so now it is time to look at some of Gary Payton’s trash talking. Kobe: "If he has my number and he calls it, I'll make sure to answer after the fifth ring.The one name that comes up more than any others when talking about the greatest trash talkers in NBA history, is undoubtedly Gary Payton, aka Gee Pee, aka the Glove. Obama told Kobe to watch out, saying "Derrick Rose might have your number." And you can take that one to the bank."Īnd my personal favorite: after winning his fifth ring, he got to visit, along with the rest of the Lakers, Barack Obama in the White House. Saying on national television after his fifth ring, when asked what it meant to him, "I have one more than Shaq. Most Famous Trash Talk: Kobe has so many that it makes it hard to choose from-here are his top three. To make matters worse, say anything to him and get primed for a night of 50 points from one of the best in the game. Kobe is more mature than he used to be (in his younger days he delivered by far the most smack talk in the league), yet he still has some of the smartest retorts of any basketball player in the league. Yet, the first thing that came out of his mouth was, "I can take you in one-on-one." was in his rookie season, one in which he only averaged a minor seven points a game. The first time Kobe ever met Michael Jordan, the undisputed G.O.A.T. Thus, I have counted down in order the 20 best trash talkers and their most famous retort.
It can rush your own adrenaline, being that small ingredient you need to take over the game. Some of the best trash talkers ever also happen to be some of the best athletes to ever roam the planet (Jordan), and this is not a mere coincidence. Kevin Garnett, though somewhat of a good trash talker, crosses the line and perhaps gets too intense with it, making it go from good trash talking to insanity. Trash talking is a science.ĭon't confuse the best trash talkers with the ones who do it the most. A good trash talker though, can ruin the opponents game, make him feel inferior to the player, take away his want to win or make him want to win too much. It's not simply talking to the opponent, because a bad trash talker does nothing. Trash talking is the art of completely getting inside an opponent's head, hurting their game even more than with smothering defense. Some fans hate trash talkers others find them as one of the essential part of sports.
