A former NBA champion is facing a 40-month prison sentence with an unexpectedly positive outlook.
Glen “Big Baby” Davis, who was convicted for his involvement in a health care fraud scheme, is set to serve time behind bars. The former Boston Celtics star, however, is surprisingly optimistic about the experience, mainly because he believes it will help him achieve a fit physique.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, the 38-year-old expressed his unusual enthusiasm for his upcoming prison term. “I feel like I’m going to have good quality time in there,” Davis said. “Learn things, meet new people. It’s going to be all right.”

Davis is particularly looking forward to dedicating ample time to working out. “Shout out to the ladies out there,” he added. “Write me. I’ll be in there getting fine as hell. When I get out, call me ‘Big Baby Jailbait!’”
Davis, who had a standout collegiate career at LSU, played in the NBA from 2007 to 2015, earning more than $33 million over his career. He won an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics during the 2008 season, marking a high point in his professional journey.
As he prepares to serve his sentence, Davis’s upbeat attitude stands out. He seems ready to make the best of a challenging situation, focusing on personal growth and fitness during his time in prison.
Whether or not he will find the experience as beneficial as he hopes remains to be seen, but his positive mindset could be a crucial asset in navigating the months ahead.
