Orlando Magic fan demands apology from Boston Celtics' Glen Davis - ESPN

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.

Video of the play shows Davis ducking behind a referee and stepping out of bounds as he ran back to the Celtics bench. Provetti told the paper it was his son, Nicholas, whose hat fell off as Davis bumped him.

Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said Davis was not available for comment. The Magic also declined to comment.

Later Monday, Provetti told the Sentinel neither the Celtics nor the NBA responded, adding he won't be waiting around for that call.

"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 told the newspaper. "And it's better to forget about it and not incite it anymore."

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I would have told the fan to fuck off.

If you don't want to be apart of the game then don't buy court side tickets.

If I was to see a 6' 9'' 250+ plus black man running towards me your damn right I am running away!

The guy wrote a letter to Pardon the Interruption apologizing, saying he made an ass out of himself.

I don't think it's that big of a deal to even make a fuss about it.. but it's an apology.. like that's hard either.

hahah... You can shiite in one hand and want in the other, see which happens first!

Besides, you're trying to get a mature and urbane response from a man who calls himself, 'Big baby'!
