“I saw Big Baby cry one time,” Rivers cracked, referencing the time Kevin Garnett had berated Glen “Big Baby” Davis to the point of tears.
The joke led to a chorus of laughs, but Davis might not have appreciated the burn. Apparently, he and Rivers — who clashed several times while working together as coach and player — have hit a rough spell in their relationship. During an interview on Chris Broussard’s podcast, “In the Zone,” Davis lit into his former coach, saying that he considers Rivers overrated as a coach and believes Rivers was “lucky as hell” to lead the 2008 Boston Celtics to a championship.
