Glen "Big Baby" Davis Misses a Wide Open Fast Break Dunk (SPRITE COMMERCIAL STYLE)


You've probably already seen clips of the horrific missed dunk by Glen Davis from Sunday's game against the Heat but it was so awful that it's worth another look.  I was lucky enough to be at the game but as usual, the Jumbotron operator decided not to replay something that might have actually been interesting to the fans so I only saw it live.  I didn't get to see the replay until last night and all I can say is, WOW.  That was just awful.

I'm not really sure what happened to BBD because he can dunk fairly easily and does it on a regular basis with just 1 or 2 steps in the paint so it's not like this would have been a big deal.  I think he just isn't used to running that far with the ball and he got tired and took off from too far out.  He also looked back to see where the defender was and that totally screwed up his timing.  Just dumb all around.  You could see Doc and the bench laughing at him which made it that much better.   

The first thing I said to my friends right after it happened was "Oh shit!  Sprite Commercial."  If you don't remember that Sprite commercial with Grant Hill from back in the day, take a look below.  We used to make fun of people all the time whenever they missed a dunk like this. It still gets used to this day during hoops games.

Luckily, the Celtics didn't need this basket since they were still able to pull off the win against the Heat.  Even with the bench severely depleted as it was against the Lakers, the Celtics were able to step it up and keep both LeBron and Wade in check.  If we had a full squad, I think the C's could have won that game by 10 or 12 points.  I'm definitely not afraid of the Heat in the playoffs.
