Sometimes he was nice, or “coached” awe-struck younger players into a false sense of security, but in a recent episode of their podcast All The Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Garnett may have told the funniest Timmy story yet, especially considering their history. However, one thing that never gets old is listening to old rivals talk about Timmy’s “trash talk”. The new member of the Los Angeles Clippers took a shot at the Los Angeles Lakers star during his teams media day on Friday, and it had everything to do with both Bryants age and stubbornness. (Legend has it KG once mocked Duncan’s deceased mother on Mother’s Day, whether he realized it at the time or not.) Both are now retired and surefire locks for the this summer’s Basketball Hall of Fame class (which will now be a more solemn affair due to the passing of should-be classmate Kobe Bryant), so the rivalry has probably subsided a bit. Look out, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce wants you to know youre not the only trash talker in Los Angeles any more. In his first season with the Lakers, Ron Artest tried to earn Kobe Bryant’s respect by talking trash to him. It was once even revealed the Duncan really didn’t like Garnett, especially because of his trash talk. With the retirements of Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett, Green has widely assumed the role of the league’s best trash talker. Draymond Green is the self-professed, best trash-talker in the NBA, but hes probably thankful Kobe Bryants no longer in the business as he learned not to mess with The Mamba on his very first try. Gary Payton was one of the best trash-talkers. Trash-talking master Draymond Green reveals how Kobe Bryant shut him down the one time he tried having a pop at him.

They often battled for the title best big in the league (or even overall player) during their primes, and their clashing personalities made things all the more competitive. But what about the days when the league was full of trash-talkers You could put together an all-time trash talking team full of guys who played more or less at the same time: Charles Barkley, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton, etc.
Everyone knows Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett had quite the rivalry going back in their heydays.
