When Giants legend Barry Bonds and 49ers legend Jerry Rice met at midcourt to kick off the action for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, where the two were squaring off as coaches, the contrived trash talk session got personal quick between the Bay Area greats when Rice roasted Bonds for his lack of team success.
“So how many rings do you have?” Rice asked, earning a noticeable gasp of shock from the crowd Friday at the Oakland Arena and stunning Bonds.
A local crowd knew quite well that Rice won three Super Bowls with the 49ers, while Bonds never won a championship in his 22-year MLB career.
