If Kobe's scared Lebron is terrified because he has talked trash and disrespected your crush and was actually shooked when Kobe blocked him in the ASG 2013.:lol

Lebron is not a trash talker at all. He doesn't have that kind of wit, or personality.

Bingo. I think Rondo is much of a trash talker along with Garnett.

But neither of them trash talk? :confusedshrug:

I would say Kobe does moreso, but neither of them really do. I remember Kobe and Iverson jawing in the playoffs. And anyone remember when LeBron told Gilbert Arenas at the line late game in the playoffs that if he misses both, then they're going to lose? And then Gilbert clanked both and the Cavs came down and won the game. :bowdown:

Neither are trash talkers by any stretch of the imagination so kind of a silly thread but they each have their moments I suppose.

I don't know what you're talking about. Kobe's been well known for being a trash talked for years. He's not on Gary Payton's level but in todays leagur he's pretty well recognized as being one of the mouthiest guys on the floor

In his younger years I agree, he was very mouthy. All the catering to the crowd, relishing boos and he would really go at people hard. But as he's matured he's grown a lot more methodical. He'll just scowl and mean mug his way through a game with litlle quips here and there I'm sure but a lot more of a silent assassin thing going on with him the past few years imo.

He has slowed down on the showboating just a bit. But I still see him jawing at guys. Seems that overall though good old fashion trash talking between players is more and more rare. Players are becoming more vanilla by the year. When kg, Kobe, artest, etc are gone, were going to be left with a bunch of super athletic cardboard cutouts on the floor.

Youre tryin way too hard to lump Kobe in with KG and Artest im sure bc you think being a trash talker adds to his contrived "mystique".

Kobe is not a trash talker.

Such awkward punching by Childs. If he threw a proper hook, he probably would've dropped Kobe. Kobe looked even worse when he swung back.

Prime Kobe > LeBron in nearly every aspect of basketball. Especially the mental aspects

[SilkkTheShocker]

Considering Kobe's Lakers have been a doormat for LeBron since he has been in he league, he might need to step up his trash talk.

LeBron has never played Kobe in the playoffs though? :confusedshrug:

the glove gary payton is the GOAT trash talker

[#number6ix#]

Easily Kobe... I've heard lebron say several times he doesn't talk trash he'd rather let his game do the talking


But the most interesting part came when Kobe talked about the how LeBron James subverts all attempts to get in his head with trash talk. Here's what Kobe said:

"They don't seem to want to talk any trash. I say everything to LeBron. He says nothing back. He just laughs. There's no banter back and forth. I guess it's a generational thing. When I first came into the league, the trash talk was downright cutthroat."

He added, "I don't talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular."http://www.businessinsider.com/kobe-on-how-lebron-james-handles-trash-talk-2013-2
