Steph Curry sheds light on his most savage trash-talking incident, eerily similar to Larry Bird’s – Sportskeeda

Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Steph Curry isnt considered a big-time trash talker. However, according to the two-time MVP, he occasionally engages in respectful trash talk when hes in an offensive rhythm.

During a CBS Mornings interview with Jericka Duncan, Curry was asked about his most memorable trash-talking exchange. The four-time NBA champion recounted a time when he warned an opponent about his incoming offensive onslaught.

According to Curry, after informing his defender that he was about to go off, he nailed four consecutive 3-pointers. However, he noted that he doesnt consider it legitimate trash talk, as he was respectful.

Steph Currys story is reminiscent of famous tales involving Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird, one of the most famous trash-talkers in NBA history. Bird was known to tell his opponents exactly how he planned to score on them before doing so.

One of the most memorable instances occurred when he predicted his game-winning shot against the Seattle SuperSonics on Dec. 30, 1986. With the game tied 102-102, the three-time MVP notified Sonics forward Xavier McDaniel that he would hit a game-winning jumper over him.

According to McDaniel, Bird even showed him the exact spot on the court where he planned to shoot. Afterward, he promptly nailed a fadeaway game-winner in McDaniels face to take a 104-102 lead with 2.0 seconds remaining.

Bird also reportedly told McDaniel that he didn't mean to leave two seconds on the clock. Nonetheless, the Celtics held on to win 104-102, with Bird finishing with a game-high 27 points.

Later in his CBS Mornings interview, Steph Curry was asked about the most savage trash talk hes ever endured. The 35-year-old turned back the clock to high school, recounting a harsh fan chant.

According to the 10-time All-Star, a rival teams fan section ruthlessly called him out for over-depending on his father, former NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry.

However, given his illustrious basketball career, it seems safe to say that Curry didnt let the chant affect him too severely.
