Big Baby With Big Start
In this jaded sports world of ours - hello, Mitchell Report! - we sometimes forget that these grown men are playing a child’s game and still experience the smallest of joys from simply being out on the floor.
Glen “Big Baby” Davis made his first NBA start last night, and before leading the C’s to their 18th win, he could hardly contain his excitment prior to tip off.
“It was unbelievable,” said Davis, who had 10 points and six rebounds in the third quarter.
“It was a dream come true to start in the NBA. Unbelievable. I was thinking in my head, ‘Calm down, big fella. Calm down.’ I couldn’t breathe. I had to come back and play my game. It was awesome.”
Talk about a breath of fresh air.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to resume praying that David Ortiz’s name doesn’t appear in Mr. Mitchell’s report.

Kudos to “Big Baby,” may he fill the cavity at pivot currently occupied by toothless Perk.

It was funny to see him so pumped up and cool to hear KG talk about his nervous energy too.

no coincidence that the C’s unveil their Big Baby Jesus starting lineup the week the new Wu album drops. Doc is straight gangsta.

Anybody remember the “we still hungry, we got a tape worm” speech that big baby gave after one of the tourney games?

My point being that Glenn has potential to be the next great NBA interviewee.

Incidently, new Wu has a track titled “Rushing Elephant”…. Nevermind… If BBD was a few inches taller & 20 pds lighter, he’d replace Perk in the starter’s position. He might do it anyway by the end of the season…
