  It's not easy to do your job on national TV, and/or in front of 22,000 people, and with a giant of industry like KG hounding your every move.

  Mock away if you must, but try to give Davis a break.

  Kind of hard to fully appraise the situation without knowing what was said, but I can't say I'm a fan of what KG did here.

  Davis is an emotional guy... so this reaction isn't that surprising.  Neither is KG ripping the second unit a new one.  But what we won't see is when everyone's emotions subside and they talk about things afterwards. 

  KG won't just leave the building after the game.  He'll talk to Davis.. and he'll talk to him again in practice... or at home.  That's what makes this ok.  If you yell without following up and getting into Davis' head... then you'll alienate him.  But if you talk to him later... you can figure things out... get his perspective... and explain why you said what you said.

  When garnett checkout out of the game to a standing ovation in the last minute, Davis was man enough to give Garnett a high five even though he was still upset with him.  At least he showed that much respect...

Video: Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis lives up to his nickname against Blazers!
The Hoop Doctors — December 5, 2008 – Dr. Dime Kevin Garnett hates to lose. Kevin Garnett can be intense about it. If this is that obvious to me, you’d think his teammates would have quite a good handle on Garnett’’s personality. Or maybe Glen ...

Video: Glen “Big Baby” Davis Crying On The Bench
You Been Blinded - Now in Dazzling HD — Not since Pacman “I tear da club up” Jones has there been a professional athlete with such an appropriate nickname as Glen “Big Baby” Davis of the Boston Celtics. Big Baby got chewed out, along with the rest of the second string, by Kevin Garnett and whatever KG was spittin’ made Big Baby sit and cry on the bench. ...

Brandon Roy's Punkass Gets Embarrassed; Big Baby Cries, Celtics Cruise to 11th Straight Over Most Overhyped Team in the Universe
I *Heart* Celtics — First things first- Brandon Roy might be a young star, but talking smack during live play to Paul Pierce, the defending Finals MVP, is Spike-Lee-on-the-sidelines lame. You're not MJ, Larry Bird, Gary Payton or even a 39-year-old Sam Cassell. Even Sam-I-Am shoots better than 3-11 from the field and his vertical leap at this point makes Greg Ostertag look like Harold Minor. Sure, Roy nailed a nice turnaround after talking smack, which must have felt good for those two seconds, but his team still lost by 15. I don't get the Blazers, the team is full of "potential" players that make Chad Ford cream his pants, but they still start Steve Blake ...

Now We Know Where Glen “Big Baby” Davis Gets His Nickname From
Larry Brown Sports — The Celtics were crushing the Blazers by 25 points on Friday night, so Doc Rivers decided to give his starters some rest and bring in the second line. That 25 point lead suddenly became just an 11 point lead with around six minutes left in the game, meaning the Celtics starters had to go back into the game. Kevin Garnett was none too please to have his replacements blow the lead and chewed them out for it. Glen “Big Baby” Davis is one of those second-teamers, and he didn’t take the tongue lashing too well. Check it out for yourself: ...

Because Big Baby Cares
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans — Glen Davis is one goofy bastard. Guys like him help keep a team loose. But after watching his emotional outburst last night, you also have to say - he takes this game seriously. I’m not going to get on his case for letting some tears flow after KG ripped apart the entire second unit for letting Portland back ...

Big Baby Lives Up to His Nickname
The Sporting Blog — How did former LSU and current Celtic forward Glen Davis get his nickname? Is it because he is large and also has (what would appear to be) baby fat (but is actually man fat) on his face (and everywhere)? Because he loves Disneyland? Is it because he is sensitive and quick with the waaaa's? Yep. It's the waaaa's. ...

Glen "Big Baby" Davis Crying After Kevin Garnett Lights Up The Bench
FanIQ Blog — Everyone knows about the incredible intensity that Kevin Garnett brings to the game every time he steps onto the court. That's no surprise. Unfortunately, not everyone on the Celtics share that same intensity. In fact, some can't even handle it when KG brings it. Glen "Big Baby" Davis is one of those guys who just can't handle it, as he proves here, as he pouts at the end of the bench after being lit into by KG. This shows a few things, in my opinion. #1: Big Baby is a big baby. There are a few guys in this league that have the right to say whatever they want to ...

Glen “Big Baby” Davis Behaves Like… A Big Baby
SPORTSbyBROOKS — Glen Davis is one huge, huge dude. The former LSU star is 6′9″ and a svelte 290 pounds, moves like a ballerina, and can bench press the Southern Hemisphere. But it looks like his “Big Baby” nickname isn’t just a reference to his youthful visage, as Kevin Garnett caused the big man to break down in tears at the end of the bench ...

Line Of The Night — 12/05/2008
L.O.N. — As seen on SLAMOnline: A moment of silence for the end of the Death Ray Goggle Era… …and now back to our regularly scheduled program. Line Of The Night: Yao Ming — 33 points, 14 boards, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block Domination, baby (word to Method Man).  Yao put it on the Warriors Friday night, taking full advantage of his physical stature, drawing foul after foul after foul, and getting to the line 19 times.  He fouled out Andris Biedrins and Ronny Turiaf, and had Anthony Randolph, Stephen Jackson and Corey Maggette taking ridiculous turns at guarding him.  “Shrimp in the ...

Glen “Cry Baby” Davis Video
Sports of Boston — We all know Kevin Garnett can be really hard on some of his players during a timeout, but Friday night against the Blazers, he verbally assaulted his teammates, specifically Glen “Big Baby” Davis. Garnett, as the team’s vocal leader, reserves the right to shout at players if it riles them up, but Davis was not riled up. In fact, he lived true to his name, and was reduced to tears…Let’s check the tapes! Again…thank the lord for YouTube, though the NBA reserves its right to have the video removed. Enjoy it while it lasts! ...

SWB Wrap: Rondo Helps The Hungry, Big Baby Cries, 2008 Sports Media Low Points
Small White Ball — As his professional career continues to improve, Rajon Rondo's stature as a fan favorite has improved as well. Days like Rondo had at a Manchester, NH, supermarket Thursday certainly won't stunt that process. The Boston Celtics' point guard made an appearance at Shaw's in Manchester as part of the Spirit of Giving Food Drive where fans were asked to buy between $5-$15 for a bag of food that would be donated to the New Hampshire Food Bank. For their donation, fans could meet Rondo and get his autograph. More than 100 bags of food were bought which means a lot of families in need will able to eat. As someone that did a tour of the ...

Glen Davis is a Big Baby - Video
Dejuiced! Sports News with No Boundaries — Have you ever seen an NBA player start crying on the bench? If not, now’s your chance. In this Glen Davis video, you can see Davis literally start crying. Literally. In the video, Kevin Garnett got on the reserves of the Boston Celtics for blowing a big lead. Apparently, Glen Davis didn’t appreciate the message. His crying was complete with lip quivering, bawling and even a thrown towel for good measure. Glen Davis’ nickname is Big Baby. When you see him play, it’s difficult to understand why that’s his nickname. He’s a round bigman who isn’t afraid to throw around his body. You don’t see many 300 ...

There's No Crying In Basketball...Unless You're Big Baby Of Course
BostonsportZ — In the fourth quarter of Fridays game vs.. Portland, the Celtics reserves let a 25-point lead slip to 12 forcing the starters back in.KG let his teammates have it after pulling Big Baby into the huddle. Whatever was sais seemed to really upset him.   “I’ll probably get real deep with him,” Garnett said. “Try to understand what he’s going through right now, research the problem. But Baby is frustrated a little bit with some of what we are doing. He just has to understand his role and not come outside of it.” Doc said “We were forced ...

Big Baby Glen Davis Cries, Kevin Garnett PWNS Him
InGameNow — So it turns out the Big Baby Glen Davis is truly a Big Baby. After Big Baby Glen Davis stunk it up in the fourth quarter of the Celtics vs. Blazers game Friday night… and sacrificed half of the Celtics lead, Kevin Garnett reamed him on the bench like a man… and Glen took it like a little baby. More than just pouting on the bench, Big Baby literally cried as the NBA announcers laughed and praised Garnett’s leadership. I caught this awesome picture below - and the video is beneath that: Get the Boston Celtics on ...

Glen Davis brought to tears by seminal Phil Collins smash
ShamSports.com: NBA News That Doesn't Really Matter — There's being intense, and then there's being an idiot. We can only speculate as to which Kevin Garnett was being here. He's always been extremely intense - perhaps too intense - but lately, he's overdone it more and more and started being an idiot. Recently, Garnett has taunting people for no obvious reason, such as here with Raptors guard Jose Calderon: And here, with Portland guard Jerry D. Bayless: I saw him do that stupid ...

Video: Glen 'Big Baby' Davis lives up to his nickname
Ball Don't Lie — In the fourth quarter of Friday's Portland-Boston game, the Celtics' bench blew most of a 25-point lead. Needless to say, Kevin Garnett was not impressed. During a timeout, KG jawed at second-year forward Glen Davis before the starters returned to take care of business. After the conflict, Davis sulked at the end of the bench, fighting back tears. Jeff Clark at CelticsBlog thinks KG and Big Baby will "hug it out" and be "better friends for it," but I'm still holding out hope that they'll fight after school down by the cemetery. Thanks to Ryne, Ziller and The Hoop ...

Big Baby Cries Whenever He Wants
The Slanch Report — I always assumed Glen “Big Baby” Davis’ nickname was more of a joke nickname, an ironic one, like calling a fat guy “tiny” or something similar. Turns out it is all too apropos. Here’s a clip from Friday’s game when, after getting called out by Kevin Garnett during a huddle, Davis doesn’t take it too well, ...

Glen Big (Cry) Baby Baby Gets Scolded by KG

At least KG did not do this to Big Baby
Cuzoogle — ... Nothing of interest (or optimistic) about the Raptors today so we were taking a look around the blogosphere and saw a great video of Kevin Garnett tearing Glen Davis a new one on Friday night. Then Big Baby goes down to the end of the bench and cries like a little girl. Davis should be happy he only got a talking to. Next time it may not go so well. ...

Drawing the Line
Upside and Motor — Subplot of the weekend: KG makes Glen 'Big Baby' Davis cry.  Harhar, he lived up to his nickname, blah blah blah. But, in light of all the media attention that Garnett has received this year regarding him egging on Jose Calderon and Luke Ridnour, continuing the down-on-all-fours barking charades, and jawing with...well, everyone that will listen, I ask only this: when does KG shed the sympathetic martyr and revered competitor tags and become labeled as a full-fledged dick? Garnett put up with a miserable situation in Minny, no one is doubting that.  The way he transformed the Celtics isn't ...

ESPN.com - TrueHoop — Britt Robson of Secrets of the City: "So, how many accounts of today's Timberwolves' shakeup are leading with the news of Jim Stack becoming the go-to guy for the team's personnel decisions? At this afternoon's lengthy press conference announcing the ouster of Randy Wittman, Wolves' owner Glen Taylor and new coach Kevin McHale went to great lengths avoiding the elephant in the room, the thing that only an accretion of increasingly blunt questions made even partially clear: Taylor has demoted McHale. He will no longer have the clout of being the lead guy in determining how this franchise's roster is assembled. If you don't think that is ...

Big Baby Cries When Daddy Yells at Him
DETROIT4LYFE — Check out this video of Glen Davis crying because he didn't like what Kevin Garnett had to say to him. At first, Davis refuses to listen to what KG has to say to the team. KG grabs him by his ear and pulls him into the huddle and that's when the Big Baby hears what sets him over the top. Apparently, Davis was not playing nice with his brothers and sisters and got the brunt of it in the huddle brought together by daddy. Davis was later seen at the end of the bench whining to his fellow teammates, letting his tears express most of his frustration. Absolutely hilarious. Almost as funny as Dwayne ...

Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis Throw Tantrum Like a Baby After KG Gave Him A Lesson
JBOMB Basketball Blog — Now this is hilarious… or ironic? I stumble on this video from Yahoo! Sports Ball Don’t Lie. Glen Davis, the 6-9 and 289 lbs. second year Boston Celtics Forward-Center, throw tantrum like a, well, baby after Kevin Garnett grab his arm and give Davis a piece of his mind. Aw, lame… Glen Davis should already understand that playing to defend the NBA Champions crown is always hard, and KG does his best to motivate and get his point across in whatever ways… Glen Davis just couldn’t manage to stay for another minute - for the lesson he wish ...

Melo Goes Nuke-u-lar
Both Teams Played Hard — I was actually watching some of this game last night but flipped over to hear the half-time drivel on the Suns trade from the ESPN crew cause, ya know, I’m not very smart. Either way, Carmelo dropped 33 in the third quarter last night. Here are some highlights that certainly don’t do it justice. (gracias to Hail Mary Jane) And just to give you something to do until I get some more fresh content up here (some decent stuff on the way), below that is a video that truly saddens me that I missed during my sabbatical that is pretty much the mathematical inverse to the quarter that Melo had. It truly saddened Ronald Glen Davis even ...

Kevin Garnett's Big Mouth
ESPN.com - TrueHoop — Kevin Garnett has a big mouth. Everyone knows that. I blogged about it a little the other day. No more than a passing mention, it nevertheless got a big reaction. All kinds of e-mail and comments flooded in, with strong emotions on all sides. Apparently I had stumbled across one of the NBA's emotional tripwires. My assumption has always been that Kevin Garnett is no different from the loudest guy at your pickup game. What he says means not too much, in the big picture. But maybe there is more to it. I have asked many and various NBA experts to weigh in: The Circus Sideshow No current NBA ...

Worst of the Night: December 17, 2008
Basketbawful — The Philadelphia 76ers: As if to add more misfortune to the Sixers' season of woe, Elton Brand suffered a shoulder dislocation after attempting to block a shot by Bucks forward Luc Mbah a Moute Labia mud charm toucher. Brand went up, up, up and then fell down, down, down. Hard. Insult added to injury: He got whistled for the foul. No word as of yet if and how long Brand will be sidelined. Now, here's a little theory I have. Let's assume Brand misses, say, a month. You just watch. Philly will start fast breaking again -- which was their bread and butter last season -- and go on a little ...

Daily Sports Select : The Boston Celtics are the most desperate team in the NBA
HotNonPorn.com — As the Boston Celtics continue their march towards their second straight title, I can't help but notice how unbelievable their hunger still is. They won a title in June, but it seems as if they want it even more this season. Against Philadelphia on Tuesday night at home, the Celtics machine was clicking on all cylinders as they stomped the Sixers 110-91 and extended their winning streak to 19 games. As such, they became the first team to hold a 27-2 record, something even their Larry Bird-era predecessors couldn't accomplish. I attribute the underlying motivational cause behind the Celtics' fantastic start to greed and ...

Big Baby Confronts Confrontation
ESPN.com - TrueHoop — This is probably meaningless. But it sure jumped off the page this morning, as I was reading The New York Times. Jonathan Abrams wrote a nice article about Rajon Rondo and his feistiness. (Making note, for instance, that in addition to clubbing Brad Miller, and checking Kirk Hinrich into the scorer's table, Rondo delivered a meaningful shove to Dwight Howard.) The article has a quote from Glen "Big Baby" Davis. Remember when Kevin Garnett made Big Baby cry? Abrams quotes Davis on Rondo, and look who comes up: "He's not confrontational, meaning he's not like Kevin Garnett. He ...

Sitting just a few feet from his heroes on the Orlando Magic, close enough to hear their team huddles and touch them during inbound-plays. But then Glen Davis hit the game-winning shot, and suddenly, having the best seat in the house meant you were on the tracks of the Big Baby Celebration Train ...

The many reasons Detroit didn’t trade for Glen Davis
PistonPowered — Have you been completely wrong about a player? Had no idea how good (or bad) he was? I saw Marc J. Spears’s report saying the Pistons quickly turned down a trade of Jason Maxiell and a first-round pick for Glen Davis, Gabe Pruitt and J.R. Giddens, and I didn’t understand why. I figured Davis was better than Maxiell. And a first rounder is more valuable than Pruitt and Giddens. So, it seemed like the deal should at least be considered. I had heard a lot of positives about Davis. And whenever I watched the Celtics, he seemed to play well. But I was completely wrong about him. Jason Maxiell is a lot better than ...

As much as I hate to say it, the dude is amazing. Nobody in the world can guard him. He’s virtually unstoppable when he drives to the basket and his shooting touch is improving every year.

Who Says Big Boys Can’t Cry?
LEEInks — Big men love the big talk. Numerous athletes love to paint themselves as macho, tough guys who make Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci appear timorous in comparison. Yet, if there is one thing Rex Ryan taught us this week (unless you remained stuck on Bill Belichick fourth-and-2 overload), these brawny, intimidating and ferocious professional sports personnel can have a soft spot underneath their body armor. One day after the Jets‘ 24-22 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, Ryan let his emotions get the best of him as he cried in front of his players during a team meeting Monday morning. Known for the fierce and resilient ...
