mexitucky Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ernest Provetti, the boy's father, wrote an e-mail to the NBA league office Monday calling Davis a "raging animal with no regard for fans' personal safety," according to the Orlando Sentinel. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/9563926/Big-Baby-apologizes-for-bumping-young-fan Seriously? First of all Davis weighs over 300 lbs. If he really would have run into the kid, the kid would have ended up in the 4th row. Plus, the kid was standing up on right off of the playing floor. This kid's Dad needs to get perspective and not use this as a "Look at how great of a Dad I am" moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It did look like Davis shoved the guy a little bit after he made the shot, and started running down court, but the guy certainly didn't look like a kid, and it certainly wasn't a hard shove.

LRCW Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Well I see where the kid was 12. He certainly looked older than that. I don't know if I would call the kids dad a turd, but I think he is greatly overreacting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I don't think Davis did anything wrong. I really don't feel like it was intentionally. I don't believe fans should be sitting there anway. Keep on celebrating big guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Perhaps the dad should be called "big baby". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RondoRules Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Big Baby was excited. He just hit the biggest shot of his life. If the dad doesn't want his son to get hit, keep him away from the floor. He's lucky Davis didn't hit him any harder than he did. To call him a raging animal makes no sense. I don't feel sorry for a guy who obviously has enough money to buy floor seats to an NBA playoff game and who is going to cry when his 12 year old son gets pushed because he is almost standing on the court.

00Rocket28 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The dad needs to keep his mouth breathing son off the court. He was practically standing on the court. Get out of the way kid! Was I the only one who laughed when the kids hat flew off? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexitucky Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 If I'm 12 years old and I get bumped by Davis, I have a cool story to tell my friends. That's as far as it should have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Isn't sitting in the front row and getting trucked by a player like standing by the pool and complaining that you're getting wet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
