I think that is his real twitter if you go back and look over his old tweets. If it is, I would personally only be annoyed by the recent tweets talkin about he's not really Big Baby. Taking a cheap way out.

The whining, or what could be perceived as it...at least he didn't bad mouth or blame anyone. It didn't have that kinda tone to me at all. Just personal frustration. I can take that

I did, and I got through to his phone 4 times now! lol

I think theres a difference between being a camwhore for viewers and just pointlessly cursing and saying "I just saw my dog bust a nut!", what Marbury is doing is just interactive marketing, that fake Twitter is just stupid.

What I don't get is why weren't these tweets picked up in mid-July?

"What's going on? Does anybody knows where I'm going to be at? Is it det,Utah,bos,cleveland,"
"I feel like I'm not has important anymore but when kg was out Leon got hurt I was important , now they don't want to pay me,"
"Man I love Boston , this is where I started my career! But sometimes you forget that this is a business!!!!"
"celtic have to do what best for them and you guys the fans !You guys need to facebook or myspace and tweet everybody. Keep Bigbaby in bos."

Why pass on reporting those but jump all over these? When, as multiple people have pointed out, it's not even a certified membership?

I even heard The Big O do his last call on the whiner line on this.

If you don't wanna read a conspiracy theory, then stop reading. Otherwise, does anyone else think it's possible that the Celtics asked the Globe/WEEI to leak this story in an attempt to damage Baby's image, perhaps give them an out from resigning him without much public opposition? I understand that we have since learned it wasn't him, but the newspaper corrections column doesn't usually get as much press as the headlines.

greenpierce wrote:Frankly, this whole problem is Big Baby and his agent's own fault. If I recall, they're the ones that pushed for him to have the two year contract so he could get to free agency early, hoping his value would beat the RFA system. It didn't and now he's upset about it.


First of all he is going to get more than he would have by signing a 3 year deal just by taking the QO, that will put him in line with the third year of a late first round draft pick, job done. I am sure he wishes he was in Leon Powe or Gabe Pruitt's shoes right now.

He isn't trying to "beat the system," this is the system. Nobody should agree to minimum salary contracts that are longer than 2 years. Restricted FA sucks, but it doesn't suck more or less after year 2,3,4. If he gets 3 years and 9 mil he will have made as much as a late lottery pick over his first 5 years.

lol Big Baby lets his frustrations loose on twitter and now has to gravel at Danny's feet for forgiveness. I feel Big Baby situation especially with how well he played in place of KG, but he's got to check himself and let things play themselves out.

I wish the Cavs could have acquired him somehow.
much respect to the 2011-2012 champions, Miami Heat, well deserved

World B. Free was the ****. I remember watching him when I was a kid, it was towards the end of his career. Wish I saw him in his prime. He was a great scorer.

Why/how are the lastest posts any more news worthy than what this account posted in mid-July?

Update:
Baby says it's an imposter:
http://bostonherald.com/sports/basketba ... g_tantrum/

What I find most hilarious about this story is that the Herald, who initially reported it, says: "once the tweeted comments started to gain attention in the media.". How about not reporting about tweets from an unverified account? Or at least acknowledging it in the initial report. Or maybe apologizing for not specifying it when this update happened? Gotta love the media.

Yeah, I saw that. The worst part was the headline: "Big Baby Glen Davis cries imposter about tweeting tantrum"--the Herald is basically half-assedly printing a retraction which not-so-subtlely questions whether Baby is lying about the whole thing. A retraction which undercuts itself? Yeah, and no mention that they were the first media outlet to report the 'tweets' as fact. Mark Murphy is kinda shady if you ask me--bush league journalism. 5 minutes of Internet research would have uncovered the fact that the supposed Baby Twitter page was unverified.
The leaks are real...the news is fake.

I'm just here for the memes.
