Who's the Baby? (ETS Daily Exclusive)
Boston Celtics forward Glen Davis is looking to change his image, first step, lose "Big Baby". Davis sure hasn't acted like he deserves to lose the name, he sat out the beginning of the season due to a broken thumb, how did he break it?, by fighting with a childhood friend. When asked what he'd like to use in place of "Big Baby, a reporter suggested "Uno. Uno." I'm not usually one to complain about nicknames, but when you literally steal Ocho Cinco's name and modify it to fit your number, thats when I'll complain. Until that asinine suggestion no one knew "Big Baby's" number, and now that we do, all we'll remember it for is the time you tried to rip off Ocho. "Big Baby" isn't going anywhere so he might as well get used to it, the named originated because, "I was a big baby, literally. I was 14 pounds... [the nickname] just stuck with me throughout my career." said Davis. Some may argue that the name came from his awful habit of crying on the bench when he messes up or when someone is mean. Davis, in his third season, is averaging 5.8 points and 4.1 rebounds.
