Kevin Garnett & Alex Thomas on the Lost Art of NBA Trash Talk, Wemby’s First Playoffs

Kevin Garnett sits down with comedian & actor Alex Thomas for one of the funniest and most real conversations of the season. KG and Inglewood’s break down Wembanyama’s first playoff run and the exact way KG would have guarded him.

Why LeBron James at 41 is doing something nobody has ever done, and why OKC is steamrolling everybody in the West with no answers in sight. KG and Alex get into the lost art of NBA trash talk, how Jordan talked over everybody’s head, why Larry Bird was the coldest shit talker of all time, and how the league evolved from the brutal physicality of the 80s to today’s three ball era.

They also talk Rajon Rondo’s fit for the Pelicans head coaching job, and why Sam Cassell deserves his shot. 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - KG gives Alex Thomas his flowers 5:40 - Lakers talk & how KG feels about LeBron at 41 8:37 - Wembanyama’s first playoff run — KG gives him a grade 12:57 - How KG would guard Wembanyama 15:10 - The mental game & the art of NBA trash talk 16:47 - Jordan talked over everybody’s head 18:08 - Larry Bird: the coldest trash talker of all time 18:47 - From the brutal 80s to the three-point era 22:49 - OKC is steamrolling everyone — does anybody have an answer? 26:38 - Rondo interviews for the Pelicans head coaching job 28:40 - Why Sam Cassell deserves his shot 34:47 - Flowers for Donte DiVincenzo & Minnesota Timberwolves talk 35:48 - Pistons vs. Magic breakdown 39:43 - Does health decide who wins the playoffs? 41:25 - Alex Thomas comedy 46:23 - Who Alex would play golf with 47:45 - Top 5 comedians of all time 50:13 - Michael Jordan, Kobe & the GOAT conversation 54:44 - What’s next & the KG + Alex collab See for privacy information.
