Iguodala on Celtics Trash Talking

[Celtic]

All I hear is, "Wah, Wah, Wah!!!" If it bothers you so much, win the game and talk back all you want.

I admit to being and old-school white guy but I don't get the trash talking and finger-waving.  I can't see Bill Russell doing either.  They are champions and are supposed to carry themselves as if they have been there before.

I don't like finger-waving, I don't like touchdown dances, and I didn't like the way Manny acted after homeruns.  And now, I don't like that the Celtics are getting a rep as trash-talkers.  They are the champs, what do they need to trash talk for?

I just don't get it.

I don't see the relevance of being white. I also don't see the relevance of being old school. How is trash talking a new thing?

It's not. They've been trash-talking since ever. In fact, things were much worse in the past - much more eyes staring and finger pointing, for example.

Sam Jones was a notorious trash-talker as well.

And a heckuva shooter.

Indeed. And a very strange personality as well. There are some funny episodes about him in a Thomas Walen's "Dynasty's End". Nice book.

couldn't agree more. does Iggy think anyone actually cares what he thinks? who? fans in philly are too smart. maybe it'll distract from the fact that he's a glorified ricky davis for 80mil.

I hear far more crying in this thread than in anything Iggy said.
