When it comes to trash-talking in the NBA, Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett was the best. There were many instances where he may have crossed limits, but if anyone knew how to unnerve an opponent with just words, it was the Big Ticket. Recently, former NBA champion Chris Bosh shared an incident where he fell victim to Garnett’s trash talk.
“I had to go to the temple and do some meditation,” Bosh said on the All the Smoke podcast. “He got me one time so good in a game.
“I had a terrible game too. He called me a mama’s boy. Forget all the curse words. He said, ‘Hey man, you a mama’s boy.’ My mind was gone.

“I probably scored five points, I got dominated and embarrassed. I’m in my bed, can’t sleep thinking, ‘What does he mean mama’s boy, I ain’t no damn mama’s boy’.”
Bosh later said that this incident made him stop attempting to trash-talk anyone else. “I woke up him and he shut me down. Ever since that day, I said, ‘Nah, I’m okay, I’m not gonna trash talk,'” he said.

During his playing career, Garnett’s biggest rival was Tim Duncan, so he detested him. In 1999, the Timberwolves played the Spurs during the first round of the Playoffs. When Duncan stepped up for a free-throw, Garnett reportedly said, “Happy Mother’s Day, M*****f*****”
