VIDEO: Paul Pierce calls Marquis and Jeff Teague the 'ugliest brothers in the league'
Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports
It's fun to imagine the types of things athletes say to each other on the court as trash talk, and every so often we get lucky enough to actually catch a snippet of it.
On Friday night, Brooklyn Nets forward Paul Pierce had some choice insults to hurl at the Teague brothers. Marquis Teague is Pierce's teammate on the Nets, and his brother Jeff plays for the visiting Atlanta Hawks.
Pierce had some fun at their expense, and happened to be close enough to a live mic for us all to enjoy.

Somewhere, the Plumlee, Lopez, and Morris brothers are all wiping their brows in relief and high-fiving about their comparative good looks.
