Kobe belongs though, he is the last breed from that mentality.Stop trying to sneak Kobe's name in there.
Your boy doesn't belong.

“Better learn not to talk to me. You shake the tree, a leopard’s gonna fall out.”
- Aimed at JR Smith, who had directed some choice words at Bryant during a 2008 Lakers-Nuggets playoff game. Kobe finished with 49 points and 10 assists.

The 3 point shoot out one has been confirmed by a few players. The Dr. J one makes sense, he got him mad enough to throw punches. Xavier Mcdaniel had another good one, that I saw Xavier say in a documentary. I would assume most of them are real and there's probably a lot more. A lot of players talk about Larry trash talking. Him and Jordan were the best at talking and backing it up.
From what I gather from this segment (@ 5:05) here, is that Bird did most of the trash talking to Jordan - during Boston's dominant years:
"When I was growing up and we was playing against the Celtics...the Celtics would come in....they knew they was gonna beat us, no matter how we start the game. They just knew....we were gonna fold..and they were gonna come back and beat us. Kevin McHale... would talk more trash... than anybody I've ever seen, and Bird as well. But they knew they were gonna win..." -Jordan

Remember when the NBA wasn't filled with overpaid scumbags with no shooting touch and no basketball IQ brehs?
added a couple more
- Reggie Miller recalled his encounter with Larry Bird's legendary trash talking ability in his book "I Love Being The Enemy". Reggie tried to disrupt Larry's concentration when he was shooting free throws late in a game. Larry glared at him, made the first free throw and said, "Rook, I am the best *****ing shooter in the league. In the league, understand? And you're up here trying to *****ing tell me something?" Then Larry buried the second free throw.
- Late in a tied game against the Seattle SuperSonics, Bird told Supersonics forward Xavier McDaniel, who was guarding him, “I’m going to get the ball right here and I am going to bury it in your face.” As McDaniel remembers it, he responded by saying, “I know, I’ll be waiting.” After a timeout, Bird made two baseline cuts, then posted in the exact spot he had indicated to McDaniel, paused, turned, and made it in his face. He finished up the sequence by telling McDaniel, “I didn’t mean to leave two seconds on the clock.”
