Spoken by: Larry Bird

Spoken to: Xavier McDaniel

Line: (After telling McDaniel where he was going to hit the game-winning shot before following through) "Damn! I didn't mean to leave any time left on the clock."

It's embarrassing enough when a guy transparently tells you he's getting the ball, but it's a whole 'nother level of contempt when he tells you where he's shooting from. That was the case for Larry Bird in the waning seconds of a regular season contest between Larry's Celtics and whomever's SuperSonics. Larry told defender Xavier McDaniel where he was going to be and still popped it in his face before immediately lamenting the fact that he didn't sync it with the final buzzer. It gave Larry yet another tale in his distinguished, trash-talk filled career. And it also gave Xavier McDaniel a story to tell, even if the gist of that story was "an opposing player once had so little respect for my game that he told me when and how he was going to beat me, and still did it."
