According to the players, on the court, off the court, on social media is all within the unwritten rules as long as the trash stays off players’ personal lives and away from family members. And it’s not just on-the-court, but in today’s NBA, it’s off-the-court on social media: Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. Many of them need to motivate themselves for 82 games and trash talking gets them amped up.

Said Tobias: “Dang, I didn’t know you talked trash Dirk!” Still, that wasn’t the biggest shocker in the revealing interviews. One was Dirk Nowitzki talking trash to Tobias Harris after the 7-0 German blocked the former Piston forward’s shot. However, there’s a few names that we weren’t expecting to hear.
