"We're similar in age, have been through some of the same things, so he feels like he can try. But he's not as good at it as I am. I don'ttalk trashoften, but when I do, I go for the jugular." [...] "(Today's younger players) don't seem to want totalkanytrash," Kobe shrugged. "I say everything to LeBron. He says nothing back. He just laughs. There's no banter back and forth. I guess it's a generational thing. When I first came into the league, the trash talk was downright cutthroat."
