I thought it was pretty funny.

Probably because it was.  And is.   :D

The kid is obviously a flopper.  Big Baby barely touched him LOL. 

Big Baby was running full force and just like you can't stop a locomotive on a dime, Big Baby wouldn't have been able to stop and by pushing the kid out of his way, he did the right thing.  If he hadn't, he would have run into the kid full force and possibly hurt him.  Those who have said the Dad is just looking for publicity are right on.

This has got to be the dumbest thing i've heard all day. Can't believe he's whining. I'd understand if it was intentional but everyone on the planet saw it was unintentional. So what does that mean now? Everytime a player goes after a loose ball and ends up in the stands he now needs to present a detailed apology and there needs to be an investigation for grounds of suspension? please get a grip and that kid's father must obviously be on his monthly cycle.

The ref sure got out of the way quick enough. Maybe the kid should have moved a little faster. I know I would have if I saw Davis running at me like that. Sorry, but sometimes slow kids get run over!

This guy is just trying to get publicity for his company. I mean, come on...



Did I see a Clevland Cavs fan jumping up and down with joy in that video? Weird.
“Being a Celtic is, every decision you make is about the team. Every cut you make is about the team. Every pass you make is about the team. You take yourself out of it. It’s not for everyone. If you don’t want to win, don’t want to play team basketball, and it’s more about you then you’re probably not a Celtic." Doc 2010

This guy is such a fat loser. If he thought it was truly disgusting and was scared for his son's safety his paternal instincts would have taken over and he would have tried to attack Big Baby right there on the court. Of course, that didn't happen because his jamhanded sped boy kid didn't even get bruised and if he had it wouldn't matter because he shouldn't have been standing there not paying attention, looking at some crap in the stands and just being a real doofus. Big Baby corrected him and went on to celebrate with his teammates. He did that rich glutton a favor. Even the magic fans were like "well, it stinks we lost but at least that dumb kid got what was coming to him."

The time to be a man was right there when it happened. But no. He's a pampered old fop who is just going to pee and moan and exploit his clumsy nancy-boy for money and/or notoriety. And you guys are right about how much the kid is going to get ripped on in school now that his name is out there. He probably is already unpopular just on account of what a spoiled little puke he is, but this will make things ten times worse. I hope to god that someone is filming a documentary of it as we speak.

I could watch that clip again and again. It would have been cooler if he shoved Bill Kennedy. How much money do you supposed that sketchy, sleazy punk had riding on the Magic tonight? Is the NBA just desperate to get a "Superman vs. Lebron" conference finals, or is Kennedy just that much of a scumbag? I know there were two other gray rodents on the court, but it's embarrassing that the NBA would even let him work the game with his history. And to couple him with that bald sociopath who thinks the fans are paying to see him? Was anyone surprised that, as SOON as Pierce got red hot, he conveniently picked up three fouls in about twelve seconds of playing time for stuff that Lebron, Kobe, Wade and a few others do on every play and don't get called for?

LISTEN TO THE MANIAC!!!!!

I think the worst part of this whole thing is the fact that the kid is being brought into his Dad's need for attention.  Nothing good can come of it for this kid.  He will likely be ridiculed and made fun of, just because his dad wanted the spotlight.

Okay, I apologise. To be honest I watched him run by and push the kid in slow motion like 5 times. I thought it was pretty funny.

  I thought it was funny at the time, not because of the kid but because of the ref scurrying forward to avoid being trampled by Big Baby...

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
The kid took all of one step back and his hat came off, and his Dad acts like Baby dropped his shoulder and knocked him over the scorer's table.  What a crappy example to set for your son to publicly whine about incidental, harmless contact like that.

He'd better be thankful Baby didn't catch him fullon or there'd be nothing left of his son but a pool of gravy  :).

It is amazing to me how we wear such green colored glasses on this site.  

Look at it for what it is.  Yes, it was inadvertent.  Yes, there was no malice or intent.  Yes, his dad is making a big deal out of nothing. But yes, he should publicly apologize.  A fan is a fan, a kid is a kid, and there's just no place for that.  

Baby didn't do anything intentionally wrong, but the kid could've gotten hurt.  Not apologizing is inexcusable.

maybe he shouldn't just rest his hat on his head like a douchbag next time, and maybe it wouldn't fall off.

i love the subtlty of trying to equate this with what happened at the Palace.  Davis hardly "went into the stands" like the guy is trying to say...
