Glen Davis embarrasses Orlando Magic again
Big Baby apologizes for throwing tantrum at motel
http://0rz.tw/po6DE (內有事發影片)
Chances are if your co-captain is caught on TMZ in the wee hours of the
morning and is not married to a Kardashian, it's not good news.
Sure enough, Glen Davis was captured on security-cam video during his
meltdown early Saturday at an Orlando motel. The Magic are embarrassed again
by his behavior, but not surprised that Big Baby threw a tantrum and a
computer device, given his checkered track record.
This time, Big Baby was seen flinging a front-desk manager's keyboard into a
wall. His frustration did not stem from trying to log onto the Obamacare
website.
Davis lost it when he was apparently told there were no rooms available at
the Travelodge at 4 a.m.
This raises troubling questions, such as, "What was Big Baby doing at a
Travelodge?"
Nothing against Travelodge, where the slogan is "Stay Close To Adventure,"
but Davis makes $6 million a year.
What a young man is doing checking into a motel at that hour is his business,
but here's the biggest question facing the Magic now:
What are they to do with a combustible but capable 6-foot-9, 300-pound power
forward for the next two seasons?
Davis just killed what little trade value he had after the keyboard toss.
Then again, everyone in NBA circles has known for years that Big Baby is a
ticking time-bomb of immaturity. Ron Artest and Michael Beasley are currently
employed, so there are suckers born every transaction.
Speaking of Otis Smith, he had acquired Davis in a 2011 deal for Brandon Bass
on the same day the Magic decided to amnesty Gilbert Arenas — another of
Smith's character misjudgments. And this past weekend you can update the
timeline of that Baby-Bass trade: After Bass leads the Boston Celtics to a
win against the Magic last Friday night in Orlando, Davis was gearing up for
his Travelodge tiff downtown.
Big Baby's contract expires after 2014-15 (paying him $6.4 million this
season and $6.6 million next). The Magic have hoped there was a chance they
could move him after he returned from a foot injury that has kept him out
since last January.
At least I think they're going to play Davis. He said recently he's healthy
enough to practice. But with marquee lottery prizes awaiting the biggest
losers, who knows if the Magic wouldn't shelve him all season? That move
would prevent Davis from helping them win and give him absolute freedom to
make motel reservations online.
As the Magic witnessed last season, Davis was enjoying a career year before
shoulder and foot injuries derailed him — and a lottery-unfriendly 12-13
start.
Big Baby issued an apology Tuesday – via Twitter.
"In regards to the incident that occurred on Friday night, I want to
sincerely apologize for my actions. There is no excuse for what I did. I was
obviously wrong and I take full responsibility. I apologize to the Magic, my
fans and the city of Orlando."
I asked to speak to Davis before Tuesday's practice, but I was told he was
receiving treatment.
Hope it was for anger management.
Seriously, he has displayed a hair-trigger temper the past few seasons.
Glen broke a door at the team's Amway Center training facility, swinging it
in a rage after Stan Van Gundy kicked him out of a practice. The Magic
suspended him. He was involved in a verbal confrontation with fans who were
heckling him. He got into a fight when he was with the Celtics and was
suspended, breaking his hand while punching … a friend.
The Magic said the matter will be handled "internally." They must suspend
Davis and strip him of his co-captaincy.
Davis was not arrested. The Travelodge did not press charges when police
arrived. TMZ reported that the Magic made financial restitution for the
abused keyboard, although the club would not comment.
Big Baby apparently has been put in a timeout for now I guess, saddled with a
nickname he cannot live down.
禮拜六凌晨四點在佛羅里達一家hotel, 當櫃臺告知沒有房間後大寶貝就情緒失控
把櫃臺電腦的鍵盤拆下往牆上摔,雖然事後沒有遭到逮捕。
文中提到Big Baby是聯盟圈內著名的問題兒童,就像顆不定時炸彈。過去有跟SVG
吵架被球隊禁賽,在超賽時也有跟朋友打架弄傷自己手被禁賽的紀錄。
Big Baby脫序的行為可能也會影響到他的交易價值。
對於自己的失控行為,BBD也發了條tweet道歉:
"In regards to the incident that occurred on Friday night, I want to
sincerely apologize for my actions. There is no excuse for what I did..."
