Big Baby? New Name = GLENZILLA!

[jambr380]

Davis has become an important part of this team, but he is still a bench player- so he really should only have one nickname. He wanted to separate himself from the name "Big Baby", but that was just because of the crap from earlier in the year. If he has like 10 new nicknames, it is just going to be confusing...

Dude, you needed a TP, can't let the year go and you only have 1..!   Good point there, bbd needs to earn a name, you can suggest your new nickname, but you have to really earn one, living..The Indians had it right, "Dancing with wolves!"  And if he never loses that weight, which it really looks as though he won't, his mname will be "bouncing at buffet, or dances with dinner" He is a good guy, and an "all heart" player, but when you play for big pay, you have to keep improving on things, and losing weight at 25-ish is VERY easy, he has pro help too....jump training...it is all there for him, i know thousands of guys over the years that did it for the love of the game...and to improve their game...AFTER WORK..!

Gotta stick with Big Baby...  Sorry, but he's not shedding that nickname & it's an exercise in futility to suggest a new one - it will never take off.

And the drool only ADDS to the mystique of that name...

Oh Meadowlark, you are so out there. Baby has EARNED a nickname and for you to bring up his weight and the way you did it - after all he has meant to this team in the playoffs and finals - well I don't know what to say. You're just determined to have someone to pick on.

And, dmopower, to me you don't make any sense, except in one way - your way. And your opinions of my posts might bother me a little bit if you would use spell-check before posting.

I think a better gauge for Davis' conditioning is his college physique, not last years.  Looking back that far and you can see how much work he has put in.  I expect that Davis approaches his conditioning with the same tenacity we see on the court.    

Davis will never be able to make himself taller.  But he is in a niche where he is stronger and oftentimes faster than the other "big guys."  

The Celtics staff know better than we do about what balance of weight, strength and speed is best for Davis and I prefer to leave it up to them.

Last, as far as nicknames go, many of the Game Thread regulars refer to Glen Davis as "the Dancing Bear" for his animated on-court celebrations -- here is the one that actually spawned the nickname:

I'm guessing he pledged his TPs, as I'm about to do

Heyyy, I am sort of just joking..I flat out said how happy i was with his production, heart and hustle, maybe on another thread, sometimes i lose where it was.....But, as a pro, there is no excuse for not losing the weight, it is his job..you ever take a night class, extra work, to be better at your job,,,? Well, we all do, i myself work on my bball game all the time, jump training, sprints, layup drills, shot work, AND LOSING WEIGHT, It is his job, look at rondo, constant improvement...why can't your boy do that, imagine if he was slimmer what he could be doing for our team, faster first step, immediate elevation, real elevation, like instant dunk, flat footed under the rim, he is 6'8" you know, faster on D, so lamar won't blow by him....He needs to realize this IS the future, his time is now, if he has a knee or leg injury, that boy is going to look like 2 Barkleys and 2 of those kfc chicken sandwiches!!! So, besides the sarcasm, 1. i like him, his game, heart, and enthusiasm, 2. he goes for the rebound, love that.....all i really want is for the guy to realize his potential..so, sorry for cutting on your fav player, I have mine also...nothing pers...!

Where do you pledge your TP's...I don't get it....all those ones i gave you guys...you just give 'em away....hmmmm, the wealthy always mystify me...!  (just kidding).

Meadow, I still disagree about BBD weight issue and don't think his body type would allow losing much. Frankly I don't see any fat at all.
But I do appreciate your post and here's a tp.
I am curious also why so many people don't have tp anymore. What is pledging?
