Angry father wants an apology from Big Baby

Let the drama begin.

Orlando Magic fan Ernest Provetti is demanding an apology from Glen "Big Baby" Davis after the Celtics' thrilling Game 4 win in Orlando Sunday.

Why exactly?

Provetti said Davis shoved his 12-year-old son Nicholas with such force after Davis made a game-winning jumper, that Nicholas' baseball cap catapulted into the air and his son dove into his courtside seat.

Provetti sent an e-mail to the NBA League office this morning. He 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 fans' personal safety."

Provetti moved to Orlando from New Jersey last year and is opening another branch to his toy company, Team Trinity. He was previously a fan of the Celtics because he watched Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers as a former player for the New York Knicks from 1992-94.

He comes to every game at Amway Arena and sits in the V.I.P Row A, seats 5 and 6. After Sunday's game, Provetti said he received calls and text messages from other fans checking on his son. Magic player Adonal Foyle also checked on how his son was after the game.

Provetti saw the video clip online this morning. He did not think it was funny.

"How do you like to be a 12-year-old and see a raging lunatic coming at you?"

More details to come. Check back later.

[oh the horror]

Oh god, a "raging lunatic?"


Tell your son to stay at home then if hes going to cry about nonsense like that.

agreed...STFU already

Big Baby seems like a nice guy so he'll probably apologize... whether or not it's deserved is another question.

What a twit.

Is this for real? I hope it's fake or something, cause that's downright retarded. Players jump into the stands and everything and NBA is not responsible for what happens if they do. It's just common courtesy if the player who might've hurt someone gives and autograph jersey or whatever it might be. If you're that scared by a player jumping in during the game or be running down the sidelines after he hit the biggest shot of his life, don't buy courtside tickets. Better yet, don't get in his way...

[oh the horror]

This is one of those situations where you check to see if your son is alright. If he has no injuries, then let it go.


But nope, this guy owns VIP SEATS so of course he has a large sense of entitlement.

So some uh, rich kid's baseball hat got knocked off at a game? **** him and his courtside playoff seat.

Holy crap what is the world coming to. If an NBA player ran into me when I was a kid I'd be bragging to my friends the next day at school, not this BS.

Raging lunatic? He is a father or a butt hurt Magic fan that was SCREAMING as Big Baby took the shot (trying to distract him) and it hit. Look at the replay of the father. Might need a different angle (the one i had).

I hope Big Baby doesnt apologize. Whenever commercials or that reply is shown? That kid should be blurred out. That way the father can write how its ufair his kid cant get no WHERE AMAZING HAPPENS tv time.

... can somebody post the .gif again please?! im pretty sure that's a little exaggerated.. just a little

[Cangri]

I think he's mad because Big Baby hit that shot, I bet he could care less about that lil push against his son.

[Gevz2kX]

dove into his seat? Is he blind? The kid didn't fall anywhere, he stayed standing. This guy is just a bitter pansy.
