After a overzealous, sore-losing parent made a big deal about absolutely nothing, Boston Celtics forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis was left in a position where an apology — or some kind of an acknowledgment — was needed. To his credit, Davis rose above the weak attempt by a fan to make a big deal out of essentially nothing and apologized for making contact with the young fan. Too bad the boy’s father had to exploit the incident to draw attention to himself in the guise of being worried about his family’s safety.
Oddly enough, that concern was nowhere to be found when Davis hit the shot in question because the father was too busy being mad/upset/disappointed/heartbroken by Davis’ clutch shooting to even notice the aftermath.
Nevertheless, Davis took the high road and apologized for his actions.
“I’m a big guy,” Davis said. “Imagine if my emotions are going so wild, and if I’m running by somebody, I don’t feel them. If I’ve hurt anybody or if I’ve done any harm to anybody, please forgive me because my intentions were harmless.”
While his capitulation was sincere, Davis did indicate if the family gets in his way again, he would eat them in order to avoid any post game nonsense like he just dealt with. Meanwhile, the father in question, Ernest Provetti, is undoubtedly hoping he’ll get to experience some more court-side joy when Magic and Celtics hook up in Game 6. Maybe next time, he’ll worry more about his son than expressing his displeasure in the fact his Magic got beat.
