Trash Talking

When you trash talk you have to be able to back it up so if you say you are going to shoot a 3 in the corner your next shot better be a 3 from the corner. That is why sometimes a player who is not as good as the other player can sometimes play better. Because you get in the other players head. If you don’t back it up right then you will look like a chump.
