A new photo of Glen “Big Baby” Davis has gone viral online following his incarceration last year.
The former NBA big man is best known for his role in helping the Boston Celtics win an NBA title in 2008. He is currently serving a 40-month prison sentence due to his involvement in an insurance fraud scheme along with other former NBA players who made fake claims that saw them defraud the league of large sums.
Davis shared a photo of himself from behind bars via his Instagram Story this Thursday showing himself posing with several other inmates he appears to have befriended during his time in jail.
Check it out below:
The image prompted loads of comments online.
“Bro is right at home 💀,” a fan joked.

Glen “Big Baby” Davis Is Trying To Find Himself
Davis definitely lost his way after retiring from basketball. However, he had people in his corner after he was charged. Former Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors star Andre Iguodala highlighted Big Baby’s positive impact in a plea to the judge before sentencing.
Iguodala, the Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association, called on the judge to consider Davis’ past accomplishments and the impact he has made on those close to him as he asked for leniency for the former pro basketball player.
“On behalf of all of our NBPA members past and present, I respectfully ask that you consider Glen’s accomplishments and the positive impact he has had on those around him when determining his sentence,” Iguodala wrote in his letter. “I recognize the seriousness of this legal matter and appreciate the thoroughness of the judicial process. I ask for leniency with these factors in mind.”
Davis, who retired in 2015, told Judge Valerie E. Caproni he lost his sense of self-awareness after leaving the game.
“I ask you, your honor, to help me get back to who I am,” he said before his sentencing.
He seems to be in good spirits behind bars.
