Glen Davis chooses favorite CelticsBlog nickname

PrintMany of you recall that back on January 25th, Glen Davis told reporters that he no longer wanted to be called "Big Baby" and he wanted a new nickname. He said to get a blog going and find a new nickname for him. Since then, he has taken a step back from those remarks, saying that he still likes Big Baby and knows he will be called that, but that didn't stop us from still running a contest at CelticsBlog to see which nickname he liked the best.
After getting over 100 nickname suggestions, eight of the best were chosen and given to Glen. They were:
Big Easy
Big Once (pronounced ohn-say)
The Tank
Sweet Feet
The Body
The Bayou Banger
Big Dig
The Eleventh Hour
Davis had a good laugh after reading the list of names, and after narrowing the list down to three names (Big Once, Sweet Feet, and The Eleventh Hour), he chose The Eleventh Hour, thought up by CelticsBlog user Gingi.
"Call me Glen Davis a.k.a. 'Uno Uno' a.k.a. 'The Eleventh Hour,'" he said.

I admit, that's awesome
So what’s the idiot Detroit fan’s reward for finally making Glen realize Big Baby was not an endearing nickname? I guess the pub he got should suffice (and maybe a gratuitous middle finger).
Congrats on coining Davis’ new nickname, CB.

He's gonna keep "Big Baby"
Just heard the radio post-game interview with Davis – he says he’s not going to mess with success and says he’ll stick with “Big Baby.”
Eleventh as in 11, as in his jersey number?
And that’s his hour to shine? D:
Imagination ftw.
This is awesome
As a fan, I think that the CelticsBlog contest is a total gas already, but it’s so cool that Glen Davis has played along so beautifully. My hats off to the final eight, those are some great suggestions!
Speaking of nicknames, when does “Doc” Rivers get his Dr. Pepper commercial?

And the complete nickname is
The Eleventh Hour at the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.
or
The Eleventh Hour is a Few Hours Before He Punched his Buddy and Broke His Hand.
Actually The Eleventh Hour describes how many minutes BBD will play this season, due to his off court immaturity and lack of fitness – 660 – over 1000 minutes less than last year, despite a considerable pay bump from his employer.
"The eleventh hour is a colloquial expression meaning 'a time which is nearly too late'" -- Wikipedia
Sounds like the big shoe fits.
11th Hour
Hey, This is awesome! I’m glad people like “11th Hour.”
A Glen Davis sized thank you to Jeff and everyone else at the blog for putting this contest together and especially for all the work involved in creating and managing the blog. Jeff, I know it’s been a labor of love for you, but I’ve been here from the beginning and I appreciate it!!!
Please tell Glen, that he can use my name when he proves to no longer be a big baby. Nicknames are earned. Quit crying on the bench and punching your friends. It’s my intellectual property dammit!
Adam… aka Gingi
Is it too late to suggest?
Maybe he’d like to be called “BIG BANG DAVIS”. or perhaps a catchier one in “BABY GAGA”
