Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Collins said he is not only excited to return to play to compete but to also participate in some trash talk.
The screams of excitement, loud arena music and chants of “defense” usually hide the trash talk of NBA players. Unless they are sitting close to the sidelines, most NBA fans don’t hear players on the court.
When the NBA restarts on July 30, there could be arena music but certainly no fans because of COVID-19 restrictions.
In an interview with NBA media this week, Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Collins said he often thinks about how the lack of fans will expose players’ trash talk.
