Ex-Celtic Glen 'Big Baby' Davis Gives Unhinged Response To 40-Month Prison Sentence Over Benefits Fraud Scheme

Former NBAer Glen "Big Baby" Davis picked an odd day to start bragging about his money.

On Thursday, Davis was sentenced to 40 months in prison, stemming from accusations of abusing the NBA's health and benefits care package for players. A group of ex-players were in on the scheme, pocketing over $5 million from fake insurance claims.

Manhattan federal prosecutors outed the group of retired players in a report from October 2021, which named former players that included Davis, Will Bynum, Sebastian Telfair and Terrance Williams.

Roughly 18 players were named in the investigation into the benefits fraud. As noted by Fox News Digital, Davis was found guilty of healthcare fraud last November, including wire fraud, conspiracy to make false statements, conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud, and wire fraud.

Terrance Williams received 10 years in prison. Telfair is the only guy who hasn't been hit with a prison sentence thus far. Big Baby's sentence prompted a bizarre reaction from the ex-player on social media. Frankly, the man doesn't seem well.

WATCH:

Davis reportedly squeezed the NBA out of $27,000, citing a dental procedure for the money but using the funds on flights from Las Vegas to Paris.

"Today's conviction exemplifies that despite notoriety or success in sports or any other field, no one is exempt from criminal charges if they engage in fraud," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams previously wrote in a statement regarding the fraud scheme.

Big Baby was part of the champion Boston Celtics team in 2008. He played in the NBA from 2007 to 2015, joining the Magic and Clippers after his run in Boston. He averaged eight points and 4.4 rebounds per game in his career.

Davis previously rebuked the fraud claims and used his race to condemn prosecutors who levied the charges.

It's a hell of a way to go down.
