"Thought that was JR Smith next to him" - NBA fans in stitches as Glen "Big Baby" Davis shares pic from prison

NBA fans are in splits after former Boston Celtics forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis shared a picture of himself from prison. Davis is currently serving a 40-month prison sentence after being found guilty of committing healthcare fraud. He began his sentence in October 2024 at Duluth Federal Prison Camp in Minnesota.

In a post on his Instagram stories, Davis shared a group photo with his prison inmates. He was in the back towering over everyone with his 6-foot-9 frame. He was supposed to report to prison in August 2024 but was granted a delay because he was finishing a documentary.

Davis was one of 18 players who were involved in a scheme that defrauded the NBA's healthcare system. The mastermind was former lottery pick Terrence Williams, who received a 10-year prison sentence for his role in the operation.

NBA fans were in splits with Glen Davis' decision to share a photo of himself with his "boys." Former player J.R. Smith, who was not part of the fraud case, caught a stray from fans online.

"I thought that was JR smith next to him," a fan tweeted.

"Why he look happy to be in there?" one fan asked.

"Boy had a whole NBA career but this his proudest moment," another fan remarked.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis last played in the league during the 2014-15 NBA season with the LA Clippers. Davis had a nine-year career in the NBA, winning a championship in 2008 with the Boston Celtics.

"He really in there actin like Druski," a fan tweeted.

"Big Baby probably gonna become a rapper when he get out of jail," one fan claimed.

"He definitely the MVP of that prison basketball league," another fan commented.

Davis continued his career in 2017 with the St. John's Edge in Canada before ending up in Ice Cube's BIG3 a year later.
