The story of Boston’s Game 4 win at home in the NBA Finals was the stellar play of their bench. The Celtics’ subs combined for 36 points, 18 by Glen Big Baby Davis and 12 from Nate Robinson. The bench was so good that Doc Rivers decided to leave them in the game over the starters because they built up a lead in the fourth quarter. After the game, Robinson and Baby were rewarded with the privilege of speaking with the media. Their four minutes on center stage turned out to be a pure comedy act. Check out this video of Nate Robinson and Glen Big Baby Davis speaking after the game. The best parts begin around the 2:40 mark:
From Big Baby’s “I just felt like a beast” comment to his “if Phil Jackson doesn’t haven’t a comment then I don’t have a comment,” I was laughing the entire time. Both of these guys were loving all the attention and you could tell they had been dying for the spotlight. Allow me to remind them that the series is only tied 2-2 so it’s not time to become the darlings just yet. Maybe bring the act back after you win the title otherwise you’ll just wind up looking like clowns if the Lakers win it all.
