No, Glen Davis, You Can't Give Yourself a Nick-Name


Celtics reserve forward Glen Davis is tired of his previous nick-name, "Big Baby" and has decided to take some action to getting it changed.

We get more from the Celtics Blog:

Even Big Baby's tired of "Big Baby." After being fined after an altercation with a heckler in Detroit last week, Glen Davis said he wants to drop his long-standing nickname, and from now on go by 'Uno-Uno.'

"I'm gonna blast that on Facebook and Twitter," he said, half-joking.

Maturity has been an issue for Davis since the start of the season when a fight with a childhood friend left him with a broken hand and kept him out until December. His latest incident, in which he shouted an obscene sexual reference at an unruly fan, just added to that.

"This season's been a huge character builder for me," Davis said.
It nice to see that Glen's learning something from his mistakes and hopefully he will be able to build upon that for the rest of the season.

However, Glen Davis you should know by now that due to NBA Code, you just can't give yourself a nickname. You have to earn your nickname on some level or at least have it catch on either from a wacky t-shirt or YouTube music video. By the way, "Uno Uno" sounds like the new edition of a children's game anyway.

Your move, "Big Baby".
