When it comes to some truly historic trash talk on the parquet, few people have born witness to what went down in the old Boston Garden during the 1980s as Boston Celtics beat writer emeritus Bob Ryan has. And the unofficial historian of the Celtics media recently took some time to talk about such trash talk, electing to regale us with the words that were thrown around as the Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers battled for the 1984 NBA Finals.
Lakers legend James Worthy in particular has a major role, and as one might have imagined, the Hick From French Lick (as Larry Bird was often lovingly called for a nickname) did as well.
The eponymous hosts of the CLNS Media “Bob Ryan, Jeff Goodman, and Gary Tanguay!” podcast discussed this moment in Boston history recently. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say!
