Just in case, he's not a baby.

[–] DetroitWhat1992@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is kinda random but any time I hear Will Bynum's name, I think of him on the TV Show Preps: Chicago Hoops, also starring Eddy Curry.

His punishment?

KG gets to berate the shit out of him everyday.

[–] HeiTonic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

KG does that for free

When given the option of this or prison the choice of incarceration was clear

God damn that boy is done

[–] kasaan110@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Guess that means he won’t be on power next season

[–] BrickCityD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wild the role he was playing too lol

[–] eazyduzzit10@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They could just say he was denied parole and have him film in prison lol

[–] AdhesivenessHot4040@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Big Baby is such an unfortunate nickname

[–] lastinglovehandles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You've obviously never met a Filipino and their nicknames. I know someone who's name is Big Baby in his 70s 😂

[–] Bunbury42@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Every time I think about Big Baby Davis, I remember a promotion the Magic had around ten years ago. One fan would be chosen to win a basketball signed by Davis, as well as Jared Fogle.

I would love to know where that ball is. A truly cursed basketball object.

as fyi, Terrence Williams was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August this year

Several players, including former Nets swingman and so-called fraud “ringleader” Terrence Williams, have negotiated plea deals. Last month, Caproni sentenced Williams to 10 years in prison.

[–] lawrencepeter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He was the ringleader for the entire operation. he provided fake invoices, impersonated someone, got 250k in kickbacks. everyone else probably gets less time

[–] spikespiegel33@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jeeze I remember Terrence Williams used to be an absolute cheat code in 2K. Like he would get a dunk animation every time. Unfortunately his ability never translated in real life.

Damn is this the stud from BC?

[–] rick_32@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Checks out... those celtics were mostly fraudulent 🤷🏾😏

[–] tommyboy0208@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How much time is he looking at?

[–] lawrencepeter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Its hard to find some details about his case but based on what I’ve read he could possibly get 3-5 years

[–] Sweatytubesock@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not one of the sharper knives in the drawer.

[–] AnotherStatsGuy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How the fuck did Tyrus Thomas end up being the stable one?

[–] pudakak@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Came to the comments in search of link where he pulled his shorts down mid game for some fucking reason. Big Baby seems like such a fever dream of NBA players past.

[–] mehipoststuff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

rich people who do shit like this are awful awful people

it's one thing to do it when you're desperate, it's another to do it when you're comfortable and just being greedy

[–] unionsparky89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Anyone have a better source that I can actually read?

We’re going on a trip

On our favorite prison ship

[–] medievalmachine@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I always confuse him with Perkins and got unreasonably excited about more change at ESPN.

[–] octavish_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He just like us fr

[–] dragonrider5555@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yooo I was a virgin but I made out with the hottest girl in high school. She went to salve Regina college next year, the Celtics practiced there in the summer. Big baby and me became Eskimo brothers. And yes, she had a BONAFIDE FATTY. Thx Alli

[–] yOw_indahOuse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] JadedButWicked@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Ninneveh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] PlentifulChains@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I wonder who were the people who convinced this small group of players to commit this type of fraud. It's hard to believe that these guys thought of doing this on their own.

[–] _JPG97_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No one will see this (or believe this), but when he played in the NBL Canada he went out one night in my city, went downtown to our famous street full of bars, went to a club and got hammered, then proceeded to shit his pants, go to the bathroom to clean up, then still took a girl home with shit stained pants.

I know this sounds way too ridiculous... but I have it on good faith that it's very much true. That's my Glen Davis story

[–] DogeGod_Ricky-C@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

King Kilo really about to be locked up

[–] GoldenWar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

From Sportico article:

Davis hoped jurors would hear testimony by professor Elise Caccappolo van Vliet, the director of neuropsychology service at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Caccappolo wrote in a report that Davis suffered an “intellectual disability” that was “previously referred to as mental retardation.” This disability might have persuaded jurors Davis lacked the necessary intent to defraud a health care plan. But Judge Valerie Caproni denied the testimony in part because it was not based on a review of medical records predating Davis’s criminal acts.
