Hey kid, get out of the way!

All of this talk about Glen "Big Baby" Davis owing some kid in Florida an apology for lightly pushing him in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals is ludicrous. After hitting the game winning shot at the buzzer to knot the series 2-2, Davis runs down the sideline in celebration and brushes the kid sitting in the first row. Other than losing his hat, the kid is completely unscathed. If you haven't seen it, take a look at the video below:



Now this kid's dad has his shorts in a wad and is demanding that Davis apologize for acting like "a raging animal". Gee Mr. Provetti, racist overtone much? This attention seeking media whore is giving press interviews and writing to the NBA front office as if Big Baby stopped in front of the kid and delivered a crushing pile driver before continuing with his celebration. The kid should consider himself lucky because at almost 300 pounds, Davis could have steamrolled him had he been a few inches further out on the court. And yes, you read that right. The kid was on the court. I don't care if you're seated in the front row and are technically out of bounds. That is still in the court of play and you better be ready to get the hell out of the way when large men are in your vicinity.

So Mr. Provetti, your 15 minutes are officially over. If you don't want to be up close and personal with "raging animals", sit in the upper deck.
