Old footage of Kobe Bryant playing a 1v1 game of Basketball against a kid at his old Basketball camp will remind that the Black Mamba took no prisoners when it came to trash-talk.
With the recent passing of arguably the greatest to lace them up in the game of Basketball, Kobe Bryant's determination and sheer will to win was unparalleled in the sporting world.

This determination from the Late Great Kobe was shown in footage of the Black Mamba against a kid back in 2011. In his old Annual Summer Basketball Camps, a camper jokingly called Kobe out to a game of one-on-one Basketball.
As you'd expect from Kobe Bean Bryant, the legendary Shooting Guard played and schooled the kid much to the delight and humour of the other campers as well as millions who have seen the video over the last Decade.
The video included many of Kobe's signature moves such as his shimmy fadeaway, dunks, and triple-threat jab steps that he used to win one MVP and five NBA Championships.

Even though all of this was in jest, Kobe was arguably better on the giving side in regards to trash-talk.
His incredible multilingual abilities have also come into play regarding trash talk, including trash-talking current rookie Luka Doncic in his native language of Slovenian earlier this season.
"He was talking Slovenian," Doncic said. "So I was like, 'Who is talking my language?' And then I saw Kobe, and I was really surprised."
