    During past playoffs, there's been some good, fun, trash/talking trolling done by players and teams against playoff opponents. I found some of it to be very clever and funny. So I thought it might be fun to make posts with links to videos and such referencing said trolling.

    So here is my request:
    1. Everyone interested should make a post referencing one such incident per post if you have one in mind and it hasn't already been posted. Best is youtube video links but anything else is fine too. If you have multiple incidents in mind, I ask to make them separate posts. This allows viewers to vote on them separately via "like" and to discuss them separately in replies.

    2. The trash talking/trolling needs to be done during the playoffs right through to the end of the victory parade. No regular season trash talking.

    3. It must be done by an prominent official employee of the team against a playoff (or potential playoff) opponent or is clearly directed by the team itself. So players, coaches, GMs, PA announcers, guy who plays the intro music in the arena, etc. are fine. Peripheral employees, like food vendors, don't count. Also media people, pundits, fans and even ex-players and such that are no longer officially affiliated don't count.

    Here is the great troll introduction to the Raptors by the Milwaukee Bucks, playing the "Barney theme song".

    During Game 1 of the 1997 NBA Finals, Karl Malone was fouled by Rodman with 9.2 seconds left and had a chance to give Utah the lead. Scottie famously psyched him out, saying, "Just remember, the mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays, Karl", before he stepped up to the line. He missed them both.

    Lebron James arrives in Cleveland after winning the NBA championship in 2016 wearing an "Ultimate Warrior" T-shirt while holding the trophy.
