Despite his resemblance to Shaq and the fact that he's playing at the same school where Shaq excelled before going on to NBA stardom, Davis' nickname has nothing to do with Shaq.It came from when he was a 9-year-old playing pee-wee football, where because of his size he had to play against kids some three years older and, when he felt like he was being bullied by the elders and reacted, his coach would yell, "Stop crying, you big baby."Still, the comparisons between Davis and Shaq continue."It's always good to be compared to the big guy, but I want my own foot in immortality," Davis said. "I want to be 'Big Baby' for the rest of my life, not 'Baby Shaq.' I just want to have my own stamp, you know?"I'm my own guy. I got my own twist, my own flavor, kind of like a little gumbo. I got all kind of crabs and shrimps and turkey meat and spices. I got a good, you know, twist. Yeah, [Shaq's] a big, lovable guy also, but I think personally I'm better looking."
