Utah is done. And some people thought Utah was going to take this in 6!

He is one of the cockiest players in the league if not the cockiest. He talks more shit during the game than any player in the league. He is one of the best players in the league, but he is WAY to cocky.

Ooo didn't see it. It's Utah's fault not the Lakers lol.

That was a horrible game between the Celtics and Cavs. And even though that was a bad call on Pierce the Celtics had plenty of chances to win that game but just didn't. I hope at least Game 7 won't try to put me to sleep.

And that's the Lakers team that's going to the finals, although I hope they won't blow a lead like that again. But it's amazing how many years Utah has had good teams but just couldn't get to the finals. Anywhere else and Sloan would be fired, but in Utah he can stay as long as he wants.

Shit talking is apart of the game. It's a psychology thing that Jordan was the master of in a very clever way. Many greats talked shit. Payton, Miller. The list is there.

At the end of the day these guys are basketball players and the stuff stays on the court.

I agree everyone talks shit during the game, but Kobe does it after every single shot he hits and more than any other player. Lebron, Wade, Carmelo all these guys don't talk half the shit this guy talks.

The Celtics lost Game 6. I am not surpised. Watch, they will win Game 7. But if they don't win, it will be a big story in Boston for a long time.

No game today? Why not have the Spurs-Hornets game today? Instead they get 3 full days off before their next game. Stupid scheduling.

you also have to include Bird.

During the three-point shooting contest on All-Star Weekend 1986, Bird entered the locker room, looked around without saying a word, then finally said, "I'm just looking around to see who's gonna finish up second". He won the shooting contest.

Reggie Miller recalled his encounter with Larry Bird's legendary trash talking ability in his book "I Love Being The Enemy". Reggie tried to disrupt Larry's concentration when he was shooting free throws late in a game. Larry glared at him, made the first free throw and said, "Rook, I am the best shooter in the league. In the league, understand? And you're up here trying to tell me something?" Then Larry buried the second free throw

Late in a tied game against the Seattle SuperSonics, Bird told Supersonics forward Xavier McDaniel, who was guarding him, exactly where he would hit the game winning shot. After a timeout, Bird made two baseline cuts, then posted in the exact spot he had indicated to McDaniel, paused, turned, and hit the shot in his face

On November 9, 1984, Bird was ejected along with Julius Erving in the third quarter after an on court scuffle. At the point of both ejections, Bird had outscored Erving 42 to 6. Eventually a shoving match ensued, then swings taken by both players, and finally a bench-clearing brawl
