ORLANDO, Fla. -- The father of the 12-year-old boy bumped by Celtics big man Glen "Big Baby" Davis after Sunday's game-winning shot is demanding an apology.

Ernest Provetti told the Orlando Sentinel that he wrote the NBA office demanding an apology from Davis for acting like a "raging animal with no regard for fans' personal safety." NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the league received the e-mail but declined to comment on it.

Well the father shoudl have not let his kid get that close. He was way out of his seat. If I was Big baby, I would apologize, but also send a signed ball with the final score on it, just as a dig.

If I was this father, I would be embarrassed to ask for an apology. Big Baby barely did anything, unless I missed it.

Anybody that DEMANDS an apology for someone else... especially if there was no harm, is just a douche fairy.

Dad came to his senses and backed off..

"In the scheme of things, I still think he shouldn't have went on the sideline, but obviously nothing is going to come of it," Provetti said. "And it's better to forget about it and not incite it anymore."

The "pussification" of America continues. The said part is the father wouldn't have said jackshit if a Magic player had hit the shot and bumped into his kid.

The father of the kid wasn't even looking at his son. He didn't even see Baby run into him. Go watch the replay. I love how he goes off and calls Big Baby a raging animal when he wasn't even paying attention when it happened.

No apology is necessary, the kid should have been paying better attention, unless he has a mental disorder, in which event, the father shouldn't have left him out of his site or grasp. Glenn bumped into him thats all and moved him out of the way. These type of things happen from time to time at games when you are that close to the action. The father obiviously has done a lousy job of explainning that to his son. It wasn't intentional. However, knowing the class act Glenn is he will probably tell the kid he is sorry.
