NBA champion Glen 'Big Baby' Davis walks free from prison with strong message

Описание: Former Boston Celtics star Glen 'Big Baby' Davis has been released from prison almost two years after being found guilty of defrauding the NBA's healthcare plan.

Davis, who won the NBA Championship with the Celtics in 2008, was sentenced to 40 months behind bars and three years of supervised release back in May 2024 over the fraud scheme he and four other prominent ex-players were allegedly involved in.

The 40-year-old's prison sentence also began almost two months later than scheduled when a judge granted him a delay until late October in order to finish a documentary project.

And nearly 18 months after he finally surrendered, Davis has now walked free.

In a video which has gone viral on X this week, he said after being released: 'They tried to hold me down. You know what I'm saying? But I'm back, man. I'm back baby.'

Davis was one of two dozen former players and doctors convicted of cheating the NBA Players' Health and Benefit Welfare Plan out of more than $5million over four years by submitting bogus medical and dental claims.
