Know who was a notorious trash talker...

Don't see the harm in a little trash talk as long as you can back it up, and avoid the T
Larry Bird was the "King". He told you what he was going to do; He told you you couldn't stop. Then after, pulled a Jordan and said told ya.

The least talked about Top 100 recruit we’ve ever got.
It's probably due to a strange convergence of events, timing-wise. Harris was not really on this board's radar, visits June 21, announces commitment on July 3, hurts his knee in an AAU event that same night, and sits out of rest of July evaluation period.

Look forward to tracking him in HS ball this season.

We were also going through a neverending coaching search at the time, which was slowly driving some of us crazy.

I had a Todd R. album when he was in The Nazz.....................years ago.........................the ex burned it along with around 50 other albums.....Thats a fact......
Burning an album used to mean something different, huh?

This. Emotion is great, as long as it isn't directed it at the opponent, the crowd or, God forbid, the refs.
The refs I get 100%, but the greatest players of the game talk trash.

Though I would point out that the yelling after a play that gets caught on camera is less desirable than the silent trash talk throughout the game getting in their head.

Doesn’t mean you should showboat or yell in anyone’s face after a play, but that quiet trash talking in their ear is a skill many of the greatest players that ever played the game use to their advantage
