Someone please get Daddy Warbucks some Masengil. Thanks.

P.S. If you got bit by a vampire while wearing a garlic necklace, would you sue the garlic farmer?

Same kid maybe?  ;D In Baby's video you see the fan in the Lebron jersey jumping for joy after Baby's shot? I'm thinking the kid was like, "Screw Lebron, I'm giving his jersey away and I AM going to get a high five from a Celtic this time." Then Baby shoves him.   ;D

I don't understand why anything should be said in any direction. The guy should just have kept his mouth shut and not expected anything and Baby had no need to say a thing to the kid.

Why does Baby have to apologize for trying to avoid knocking over a kid that has no business being where he is? And he did avoid the kid as he had the where with all to swim past him with a quick move of his hand. Manners has nothing to do with any of this.

If someone runs a red light and goes in front of my car and I hit them, I assure you I'm not going to apologize to the person for putting themselves in a position where they shouldn't have been in. If I'm standing in line for something and accidentally bump someone who's trying to cut into the line(you know, a place they shouldn't be in) then I'm not apologizing. If I'm playing football and some mascot runs onto or near the field and I knock over him because I ran into him, I'm not apologizing(this actually happened to me).

Sorry, The kid should have been in his seat and not 6 inches from the court. You get that close and you are putting yourself into harms way. No one should have to apologize for something that isn't their fault because of gross negligence. And then on top of that to be insulted and called names???

Please. I'm all for manners and pardon me's and excuse me's when used in everyday life for incidental accidents. But to expect and then demand an apology after putting yourself or your child into a position of danger is ridiculous.

The normal fan thinks it's pretty cool when an NBA player falls into their lap in the stands. Seems like this father and son should be amused by the whole things.  I know I would be.  Getting on Sportscenter and basically having a little spot in history.  I'm guessing the father isn't a very good guy.

hahah. That was too funny for words. and i love the fact that we've been discussing the kid-who-got-shoved and Big Baby for 9 pages now.
I can imagine everyone's in a gr8 mood after our win. 3-2 series lead, here we come :)

His comment that BBD was raging was 100% accurate. Go look at the tape. Look at his face. Look at him cursing up to and taunting the fans. No he didn't mean to bump into that kid, but the father was only wrong with his demanding of an apology.

The guy called BBD a raging "lunatic" and a raging "animal".  The fact that you're okay with that, and defend the father's choice of words, seems to be more motivated by your stated dislike for BBD more than anything else.

Unless, of course, you truly think it's okay to go around calling people animals.

Never saw the word animal, only lunatic. I think he was quite over the top and it was fitting. The issue however is that this is about BBD and the kid, not the father. I don't think the father is in the right, however what has the kid done?! We are are acting like the kid did something wrong. He did nothing wrong and it is to the kid that BBD should apolopgize, not the father. The father should apologize for calling BBD an animal.

I have said this a ton of times, but I do not dislike BBD. I think he is limited in his ability out there and has basically peaked which is not good enough for a potential starter, however I love the guys energy and personality. I have said that from day 1.

Wow. Lighten up, dad.

Yeah, what an over sensitive tool. What about when players dive into stands??? There are risks for sitting courtside. You may get touched by a massive NBA player.

I'm sorry but if this Dad and his son have these courtside seats for the entire season and post season (seemingly for years even) then they FOR SURE have had a player dive into them for a loose ball or something of that nature.

Let's find a clip of said incident and call the father out for being inconsistent.

I believe the father is just trying to get the youtube clip into the top 10.

Seriously, if they would just sit in section 305 like normal people, he would just have to write angry letters to all the drunks who accidentally spill beer on his son.

Not to rain on the rush to convict glen davis your on here, but while i don't blame the kid or baby one bit,  the kid DID technicaly do something "wrong".

He was standing up and well away from his seat, he's got a foot on the inbounds line in the vid.

now, mabey courtside seat rules are diffrent in orlando, they may well be. But in boston, it has been made quite clear to everyone I know (all 2 of em) who have been lucky enough to get courtside seats that  you keep sitting in your seat, or at worst you stand pressed agaisnt it, or you take your chances and then it is your job to be aware of what is going on during the game.

Again, not the kid's fault, or davis's. but to say the kid was somehow not anywhere near the court and davis attacked him like some lunitic? please EJ.

It's really hard to take the way your selling this seriously, given your noted dislike of davis ( i know you say you don't, but the tone of your posts is that hes a fat lump who isn't worthy to be a celtic. i don't know how much stronger you can express your dislike of a guy) and his continued role on this team...If this had been ray (and no "he wouldn't have done it" comeback, this is my hypothetical  ;D) or anyone else, you would have come to the same conclusion magic and celtic fans have.

Kid got pushed (he didn't even fall down, despite the scum bag fathers insistance he did) and lost his hat when davis had to avoid a ref and run the out of bounds line. No fault for either party.

End of story.

I'm sure Rashard would be jumping
up and down after a last-second W, too.

Not just a last second jumper, but likely a season saver for a team defending it's title with an arm tied behind its back...If you're not emotional after that there's something wrong with you.

1) The Kid had courtside seats
2) BBD backed up after the shot, found himself on the side line
3) The kid was standing up for an emotional moment in the game, Glen Davis got emotional when his shot went in, kid was in his way, Glen pushed him aside.

Nobody was hurt, no body is to blame, this is a complete any utter non-issue. If you're gonna sit courtside, you might get collided with. You wanna be that close to the game, don't be surprised if the game touches you. Players don't write sorry cards every time they go flying into the second row after a loose ball, and this is very much the same thing as that. The kid, if he has a problem with it needs to grow up. The father, who obviously has a problem with it, is a complete tool who desperately tried to make something that happened to his child about himself. He's a scumbag, an attention seeker, and most of all if this is an indicator of the way he approaches life, he lacks fundamental morals and values men should have. Ironically, he's embarrassed his son far more than Glen Davis ever could have.

To him, I say, drown in your supposedly self righteous tears. Maybe that is a little bit harsh, but my main goal was to match this man's own outrage on this non issue with over the top hyperbole of my own. I would say indeed, mission accomplished.
