Ex-Boston Celtics star Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis has posted his reaction to a jail sentence handed down from a fraud case.
Davis was sentenced to 40 months in prison and three years supervised release by a federal judge on Thursday for his role in defrauding the league healthcare plan of more than $5 million over four years.
In a video on his Instagram Live, Davis made a crass comment about how he’d pass the time in jail before saying that he was about to become ‘swole’ with a lack of fast food in his vicinity.
‘Damn. I got a cold imagination, though. I do that acting s**t. I got a cold imagination,’ Davis said before making a euphemism for masturbation.
‘I’m going to be swole, though. I swear to God, I’m about to get in so much shape. On God. That’s the only way you can stop me from eating hamburgers is put me in jail.

Davis, who won a title with the Celtics, was one of four NBA stars that defrauded the league
‘That’s what God say, I’m going to stop you eating hamburgers imma put you in jail. You don’t want to stop eating hamburgers and Cheetos? You’re going to jail. So now, imma become The Rock.’
Davis is one of four prominent former NBA players sentenced in the case after they were found guilty of the scheme in which at least 20 people aided in submitting or falsifying claims to the NBA healthcare plan.
The 2008 NBA Champion submitted a total of $132,000 worth of claims, almost all of which were proven fraudulent by prosecutors using cellphone geolocation data and related travel expenses.
He also was ordered to make a payment of $80,000 in restitution with financial management classes and drug testing mandatory as conditional terms of his eventual release.
A second-round pick in 2007 out of LSU, Davis was part of the 2008 NBA title-winning Boston Celtics and last played in the league with the Clippers in 2015.
