If you had just made a big shot, what would be your "after-the-shot" taunt. Clearly, we all know that Bowie's hotline bling. What do you have?

Just in case you need ideas, I added the Grand Theft Auto taunts (LINK). I'd probably go with "jerk," myself, but I'm pretty competitive and I think all classiness would fly out the window.

I am white so it is probably best I get my ass down the floor and play D but I wouldn't be able to help myself and do something. Since I am white a big salute is the first thing that comes to mind.

I think Bowie and the rest of the guys are celebrating with each other, not taunting the opponent.

Having said that, here's mine:

When I'm pissed off at someone when driving, rather than flip them off, I prefer the 'sarcastic thumbs up'. That's about as close to a taunt as I get, and hopefully it prevents me from getting shot while taunting opposing traffic.

Back in college, my friends talked endless smack.

Some that didn't involve profanity:
"Let me know if you want my autograph"
"You can touch my shirt if you'd like to know what greatness feels like"
"See, that's why your mom slept with me last night."
"Wow, you're really bad at this"
"You're making me look good. You know that, right?"

Any more, I'm very tongue-in-cheek while smack talking because I'm about 5% as competitive as I was and don't really care as much about winning. Not stupidly injuring myself seems to have filled that remaining 95%.

I'm a big fan of this. Whenever I do something accidentally that pisses someone else off and they honk at me (for example, having to force my way into a merge when someone won't let me in), I usually wave and smile like an idiot when they go by me. The message I'm trying to send is "that guy must be nuts."

I was terrible at talking trash, but good at playing well when people talked **** to me. So if noone was saying anything I'd just put my head down and run back, if they were talking I'd just glare at them.

I've never had an occasion to use it, but I love the Russell Westbrook "Don't Jump" taunt.
