Bird is a legend of the game who helped the Boston Celtics win three NBA championships in the 1980s. He's also known as an elite-level trash talker, something that Byron Scott is very familiar with. During a recent episode of "The Byron Scott Podcast," Scott discussed Bird's trash talk game with Robert Horry. He even called Celtics legend the king of trash talks. He explained that Bird will reveal what he's going to do to his defender, who will be hopeless in stopping him. "The thing I love about him is that he was a s**t talker," Scott said. "The dude would just tell you where he's going, shoot it in your face, talk s**t to you and run back down the floor. He was the biggest s**t talker in the league back in the day. He would tell you exactly where he was going, what he was gonna do. And he did that to us in the Finals." "He was like, 'Guys, don't worry about it. I'm gonna go right over there to the corner. I'm gonna catch the ball, I'm gonna shoot it and there ain't s**t y'all can't do about it.' And he did exactly that." Bird is a legendary trash talker. One of his legendary stories include telling the media that he will play left-handed for three quarters against the Portland Trail Blazers in 1986. He had 27 points playing left-handed before finishing with 47 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. He also hit the shot to send the game into overtime and made the game-winner extra five minutes later.
