In a Landslide the NBA's Biggest Trash Talker is...
CSNNE
According to his peers, Kevin Garnett is the worst trash-talker in the NBA.Not a big surprise and not necessarily a bad thing. I seem to recall Larry Bird and Michael Jordan being up there on the trash talking lists. Two things I just noticed about this picture are Scal's mean mug and KG's clenched fist. No wonder Gordon didn't say anything back.
And it isn't close.
Garnett received 62 percent of the vote in a Sports Illustrated poll of 173 league players who were asked to name the worst trash talker in the league. The second-place finisher -- the Lakers' Kobe Bryant -- had 7 percent.
Garnett, however, isn't the only loudmouth on the Celts if the league's players are to be believed. Paul Pierce was third in the voting with 5 percent and Rasheed Wallace tied for fourth with 3 percent, giving Boston three of the top five trash-talkers in the league.
