I can't believe I'm going to type this, but

I can't believe this dude pulled the "embarrassment" card. Meanwhile, exposes his son to scrutiny.

We'll all seen NBA players DIVE into the stands for balls and what not. What a joke.

 

[eight2one]

I think a certain thread on NT has caused me to dislike this guy more then I already do!

 

[jpzx]

Pops probably saw all the threads on NT and pulled out the embarrassment card

Again where did the kid fly into the stands? The family shouldn't be allowed to get Courtside Seats again.

After reviewing that clip, the kid flopped.

[mez 0ne]

[User 15002]

Has Barkley said anything about it yet?

It's a good thing Glen pushed him out of the way. Imagine if he caught the full impact of those 300 lbs.

[h4]Courtside Magic fan demands apology from 'Big Baby' Davis[/h4]
By J.E. Skeets

I can't believe I'm going to type this, but Orlando Magic fan Ernest Provetti is demanding an apology from Glen "Big Baby" Davis for inadvertently bumping into his son after nailing the Celtics' game-winning jumper on Sunday. (Check out the video here.)

According to Shannon Owens of the Orlando Sentinel, Provetti says Davis shoved his 12-year-old son Nicholas with such force, that Nicholas' baseball cap catapulted into the air and his son went tumbling into his courtside seat.

Shoved. Force. Catapulted. Good words, strong words.

Apparently, Provetti sent an e-mail to the NBA League office this morning.

(Side question: Does anyone know how I can get my hands on this league e-mail address? I'd like to send a formal complaint, on Lisa Salter's behalf, of course, demanding an apology from Rockets forward Shane Battier(notes) for sweating all over her nice cardigan during yesterday's halftime interview. It's called deodorant, Shane. Look it up!)

Back to the nonsense: Provetti said Davis crossed the line, literally, and embarrassed his son:

"The NBA makes it clear to not cross the sideline," he said in a telephone interview. "If I cross that line, the NBA will take away my tickets. It's a double standard."

In the e-mail, Provetti said Davis conducted himself like a "raging animal with no regard for your fans' personal safety."

"A raging animal?" Are you kidding me? You're screaming bloody murder about an excited professional athlete accidentally bumping into your son at a sporting event? Oh heavens to Betsy! How embarrassing! Look, his hat fell off! Quick! Quick! Look at his hat hair! Take a picture!

Please.

This "concerned" father says Davis embarrassed his son, but then turns right around and brings even more attention to the footage (and Nicholas) by exaggerating the story and publicly releasing his son's name. Yeah, because that makes a lot of sense.

And the real kicker: Provetti used to be Celtics fan.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go pour a hot cup of coffee on my groin and blame it on Kevin Garnett(notes). His mannerisms make me jumpy, you see.

I highlighted the quote that really got me. Possibly the stupidest statement I've come across in a good while. What exactly is the guysuggesting? That huge men playing a game at full speed on a small court should be kicked out for stepping over the sideline? I guess he wouldn't want oneof the Magic players to dive out of bounds for a loose ball at a critical point in the game. What a moron.
