Kevin Garnett is the (basically) undisputed king of modern-day trash talk. Kendrick Perkins isn't so bad at it, either.
Talking about the two of them to The Oklahoman, Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams -- a former teammate of Perkins' -- summed up why Garnett has been so relentless with his on-court words throughout his career:
"KG and (Kendrick Perkins), those two are ridiculous," Adams said of the legendary smack-talkers. "They make you question, like, why you are playing basketball and stuff. You're like 'Why am I doing this?' It's really weird, you get depressed."
Has Garnett ever specifically targeted Adams?
"Thankfully, he doesn't talk to me," Adams said. "But he was talking to Serge [Ibaka] once and I was like 'Woah, that's some stuff.' I cannot repeat it."
