Orlando Magic forward Glen Davis has expressed a desire in the past to rid himself of his “Big Baby” nickname. Throwing a temper tantrum in a hotel reception area isn’t a great way to accomplish that goal.
On Tuesday, TMZ posted a video that shows Davis completely crossing the line during some sort of disagreement at a Travelodge motel in Orlando last Friday. He reportedly walked into the motel and tried to book a room, but was informed that there were no rooms available. Davis lowered his head in frustration during his conversation with the hotel receptionist before reaching over the counter and grabbing the employee’s keyboard. He then threw the keyboard across the room before storming out.
Simply put, Big Baby lived up to his nickname. The hotel employee immediately called the police, but Davis was reportedly not arrested. According to TMZ, the hotel has been in contact with the Magic regarding the damages. Davis used Twitter to apologize for the meltdown.
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.

It’s one thing to act like a baby by crying when a teammate yells at you or pulling your pants down to protest a call. The 27-year-old’s actions last week were beyond uncalled for.
