Pierce and Kobe exchanging words

[Mogreen17]

Im just curious to know if anyone came across an article or managed to read any lips during game 3 where the two were yapping away at each other for a considerable amount of time towards the end of the 3rd quarter, i think.

I was under the impression for quite sometime that Pierce and Kobe weren't the best of friends (i think i was trying to convince myself of that more than anything. I just despise the lakers). Then i remember coming across an article saying how they ball together in LA come summer time, and how Pierce on some level convinced Kobe to stay in LA telling him that, "You are the Lakers!"

From what i hear, Kobe's version of trash talk is done in good faith, he'll do it get you going and pumped up for the game! Which is when basketball becomes very entertaining.

In Kobe's post-game interview he was asked what he and Pierce were talking about and if he would share some of it ... Kobe said: "No, I'm NOT going to tell you anything about it" ... smiled, and waited for the next question.

It seems like I saw Paul and Kobe pat each other on the back after the game.
