Who’s the ‘Big Baby’ here?
After Boston Celtics forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis stuck it to the Orlando Magic and their fans by knocking down a game-winning jumper at the buzzer, he did what anyone in that situation would do – he got emotional.
Davis streaked back down the court to his teammates, where he was mobbed. On his way there, however, Davis inadvertently knocked into a boy standing courtside, who lost his hat.
Well, in an attempt to take advantage of his 15 minutes, the father of the 12-year-old fan demanded an apology on Monday. In an e-mail to the Orlando Sentinel, Ernest Provetti said Davis acted like a “raging animal” with no regard for fans’ personal safety.
“How do you like to be a 12-year-old and see a raging lunatic coming at you?” Provetti said.
What a joke. I would be fully embarrassed if I was this kid. He’s likely getting beat up at school right now. As it turns out, Provetti, who also sent an e-mail to the NBA league office, said he reacted emotionally and will back off.
Funny the things we can do when we’re emotional, huh?
