That kid's gotta stand in there and take the charge. It's the playoffs, you're on your home court. Step up and sacrifice your body.

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?"

Kids are so soft nowadays. Back in the 80s, players would routinely kick you in the face while diving for loose balls and you took it like a man.
Back in the Bad Boys days Dennis Rodman broke a kid's leg going after a rebound. To the Worm's credit he made sure that he signed the kid's cast. He wrote simply, "You ing pussy," and the kid had to admit he was right. That's the way the game should be played.
What do you expect from a 300 pound 8-year-old?
and then bragged to your friends about it.
Doesn't look like he knocked the kid down to me..... he's still standing after the shove.
Poor guy, he's got courtside seats for every game and he's standing an inch away from the sideline, and he's upset that the players make contact with his family!
He is right about one thing though. If he saw Baby running at him, then threw a body check into him, he would have been arrested.
Either this kid's a pussy, or his dad is.
lol ...
what about the fans up in section 599, row z in nba arenas across the country that are getting nailed by tshirts launched into the stands? I'm waiting for that lawsuit.
i believe that the tickets say (especially floor seats) something about the NBA not being liable for any injuries that occur to the ticketholders, as a result of the game.
the guy needs to off. im sure if dwight howard inadvertantly kneed his kid in the face while going for a loose ball, and broke his nose, he wouldn't give a damn. he was just mad because the magic lost. its evident in the fact that he called big baby a "raging lunatic"
this would make a good onion cover story... to bad it was real..... and HILARIOUS ...
That pussy is never getting any pussy.
I did.
It would be funny if they suspended Davis for game 5
agreed
All that father wants is some time on TV.
Insane.
The moment I saw this happen I knew some face asshole would make something out of nothing over it.
The kids dad should just yell at Big Baby. We all know how he takes that.
Huge Sour Grapes...
Sons you call that diving into his courtside seat? Bull . I could show you diving into a courtside seat. People in want ice water but you know what. It's all just who shot John mess. That little cooyon and his pappy actin' all funny. They both Tifis.
His son needs to stop being such a pussy. He has a lifetime of disappointment ahead of him if he remains a Magic fan
