When this season comes to an end and Kobe Bryant hangs it up once and for all, he’ll be remembered for a lot of things. Perhaps the most memorable part of Bryant’s game is how much he loves to talk trash on the court, and how much more he loves it when other players talk trash to him. There have been more than a few players who felt Mamba’s wrath after talking smack, and for the most part Bryant is okay with hearing it because he views it as a part of the game.
But what’s the one thing that Kobe will not allow when it comes to trash-talking him?

That’s right, you have to have been born before 1996 to jaw with Kobe. If you weren’t? Bryant wants you to sit on the bench and keep quiet.
These final five months of Kobe pressers are going to be pure gold folks, enjoy them while you still can because once Mamba goes, so does a lot of the most non-generic, straightforward interview material that we get today.
