"This law of dudehood is most often invoked by a player following a game in which there was a particularly spirited bout of shit-talking. One party will sometimes end up more aggrieved than the other in these circumstances, and it is when they are asked to explain their ire after the game that you can expect to encounter this particular talk about guy talk."
"A fan who was sitting behind the Rockets' bench last night captured some video footage of Durant and Brown talking to each other, and reported that at one point Durant called Brown an "offensive liability." This line of critique seems to fit with the broadcast footage-one can surmise from his gesticulating that Durant was snidely telling Brown which areas of the court he is and is not capable of shooting from:"
An informal rule among men in sports holds that certain remarks should not be said to another man. Players commonly cite that rule after intense trash-talking during games and often decline to disclose specifics when asked. Nuggets guard Bruce Brown invoked the rule after a blowout loss and refused to detail a second-half spat with Kevin Durant. Fan-shot video later captured Durant calling Brown an "offensive liability" and appearing to mock Brown's shooting range. Durant also said he "definitely wanted to cross the line" with his trash talk, indicating intent to provoke.
