I haven't really watched Magic play enough. Is anyone buying that he never talked shit on the court? I find it really hard to believe that anyone at Magic's level wouldn't talk trash. Then again I haven't really seen Dame talk trash, not saying he's on Magics level. Rather that he's probably the best player I can think of who doesn't seem to talk trash.
My favorite trash talking stories revolve around Jordan, Bird, or Kevin Garnett. The one about Kevin Garnett telling Tim Duncan, "Happy Mother's Day!" On the day his mother died. That just..... can't be true. I don't want to believe it. KG is a cold MF. But that is just low.
Trash talking, except when meant in a playful way amongst friends, is an indication of low self-esteem and poor parenting.
I didn't think someone could lose respect for someone they had no respect for to begin with. Good job, KG.
