The Athletic had a article in which teammates and opponents talked about his legendary trash talk. My favorite did not even make the cut. While playing against the Pistons, Bird felt disrespected that Chuck Daly put a young Dennis Rodman to guard him. After busting him on four consecutive shots, Bird says to Daly:
“Who’s guarding me, Chuck? Is anyone guarding me? You better get someone on me or I’m gonna go for 60.”
