Big Baby

Glen Davis

Glen Davis is quickly piling up nicknames. Earlier this year, he wanted to be known as "Uno Uno," and now he will also be known as Shrek after Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Davis got his original "Big Baby" nickname when he was growing up in Baton Rouge, La., because he was bigger than most of the other kids his age and when he played, he sometimes whined. His peers called him "Big Baby," and the name stuck.
