Glen 'Big Baby' Davis Appreciation Thread

[LarBrd33]

Good luck, Obese.  Thanks for keeping our bench warm in 08

[Onslaught]

I'm sure all the local all you can eat buffets will miss him. Come to think if it........ perhaps they won't.

His halfcourt to rim fast break dunk in Game 6 of the 07/08 Finals still makes me smile. Two different Lakers both made "business decisions" and didn't take what would have been a clear charge.

Despite being overmatched against Rashard Lewis and Dwight Howard in 08/09 he still hit the big shot in Game 5 to make up for the free throws he'd just caused.

It didn't work out, you never lost any weight to play to your potential but I'm happy you just got paid enough to set you for life.

Wasn't that Powe?  (BBD can't dunk).

[RAcker]

Roll Tide, BBD.  Roll Tide.

As angry as he made me, I'll miss the big guy

I am sometimes amazed how myth seems to take its own life on the Internet.

That was earlier last season, when Baby was in shape. He looked slim there and that's tough to say about BBD.

By the season end and the playoffs, he looked double the size in width.

I used to like you a lot more, but we had good times.

It will be funny though if you start for Orlando and are matched up against KG.  Good luck.

Earlier? More myth.

This game is from March 28, 2011, so a month and change before the end of regular season.

None of us can say that we knew we what we would be getting when we traded for Ray Allen and got the chubby kid from LSU as filler.  He came onto the team, and in his first season, showed flashes of being a contributor to the team that would eventually win a championship, although overshadowed by Garnett, Powe, and eventually P.J. Brown.  His second season, he began to breakout, and with an extended injury to the two PFs who played ahead of him, Davis stepped in to the lineup.  He had his ups and downs, with flashes of brilliance when he played memorable defense on Tim Duncan in a regular season game.  In the playoffs, he helped The Green to play through and win one of the most memorable first round series ever, and gave us a game-winning shot that is still replayed against the Magic.  Following that year, he found a friend after the trade deadline in Nate Robinson, and did his best to step up, despite his emotions sometimes getting the best of him.  This past season, despite some disagreement, he always gave it his all, and even led the league in a defensive statistical category.  Like it or not, I, along with many of you, lived and died with Glen Davis, loving him at times and hating him at others.  He gave us an unexpected run, and I wish him much success in his NBA career.

Thanks for the play , Big Baby.   You could be inspiring and maddening.   Just remember now that your playing for Orlando that  your natural position is SF and no one can shoot the rock better than you, bud.  JK

I am glad he cashed in.

Ok you win this round by providing video evidence, but this isn't the way I remember it, nor will I in 10 seconds when I submit this. Sorry. I don't know what else to say

...trying desperately to remember that this isn't the thread to post the missed layups when his arms couldn't reach the basket...it was like watching 6th graders...

Thanks, BBD, for all the memories that I'll never forget, no matter how hard I try.

Haha you could just say "Okay he did dunk sometimes".  Davis is in no way a dunker.  Bass isn't a big time dunker but he is more of one than Glen Davis.

Last year Davis had 12 dunks (Ray Allen had more) and Brandon Bass was # 22 in the league with 81, ahead of KG.  I like the strong finishing and I like him as a target for Rondo.
