Big Baby Davis threatens Kyrie Irving and Durant responds

Big Baby Davis threatened Kyrie Irving about the logo stomping incident and Kevin Durant fired back at Davis.

Kevin Durant responds to Glen Davis threatening Kyrie Irving over logo stomp

Kevin Garnett is not the only former Boston Celtics player who was upset over Kyrie Irving stomping on the team’s midcourt logo on Sunday night. Glen “Big Baby” Davis also condemned the move, though he took things a step further than K.G.

Following the Brooklyn Nets’ win over the Celtics in Game 4, Irving intentionally stepped on the Celtics’ midcourt logo and dragged his foot across the mascot’s face (video here). Garnett took to Instagram on Monday to criticize Irving over the stunt, and Davis agreed with his former teammate.

Davis responded to Garnett’s criticism in an Instagram comment and warned Irving that he should “keep the s— basketball before somebody get hurt in real life.” That drew a reaction from Kevin Durant, who posted a bunch of laughing emojis and a short message. The exchange was edited by LBS for profanity:

I don't like Kevin Durant, never have, it's his attitude.

Kind of out of nowhere too right? He was pretty quiet when he was with Oklahoma if I remember? No he is just working overtime to be a jerk. Him and Irving are perfect for each other

I am fully and sadly aware that often times the fans have more allegiance to teams than the players. But if players are going to start stepping up here I like it.

Durant has a history of being extremely involved emotionally in what people say about him online. His history online includes his use of fake accounts to defend him as a player. That tells us that his ego is both fragile and misplaced. Which is odd for someone of his stature. He most likely will be sucked right into this war of words.

Edited to add: I'd like to see more Celtics players of yesteryear get involved. @doubledragon Who do you think should step up to the plate here?

I also like to see the former Celtics players defending their team. If Kyrie Irving is going to stomp on the Celtics logo then he has to expect people to get pissed off about it. I mean, what does Kyrie expect, people just to ignore it and pretend it didn't happen? It was an extreme sign of complete disrespect.

Yes, Durant is a big mouth and he does belong with Kyrie. I'd like to see Larry Bird beat the crap out of them both!

Looks like Lucky will be good to go for game 6 in Boston if the C’s can pull off a win tonight in Brooklyn.

Coincidentally, Lucky spent less time laying on the floor than Lebron did after both got poked in the eye.

Edited for clarity.

Let me say this again....There is reason that the media is suddenly focussing on these fan incidents. There is something in the works, a narrative is being formed. I do think that the leagues are re-thinking their business models after this year without fans. I think they would love to make more money with less people there.

I edited my above post, to remove where I said something like "I actually really like this". I made the mistake of thinking that my comment would appear right after @erikthredd 's link. I was referring to that. Here is Kyrie throwing the basketball.

Can this not be seen the same way?

It should be but 1)this was from a few years ago and 2)whoever caught that ball was probably thinking “Great!” I’m leaving with a game ball.

Agreed.

Still,I'd like to see some dialogue around this. He clearly throws the ball, in anger, in a way which could have truly hurt someone. In fact, his act seems even more reckless. While I support the idea of the petition, two wrongs don't make a right. Specifically in this case. I mean, should someone be arrested for doing something so harmless and without true hurtful intent?

Imagine if , right around the time he threw the ball , a few other players had done the same thing, and then there was a huge push for players to be more considerate of fans? What if everything was reversed? Well, it's a moot point. Because that would never happen. Because the money only flows one way.

Apparently it’s not too soon for Big Baby Davis to come out firing lol.
