Big Baby gets hit by a car, lives to tell about it

October 3rd, 2007 | Posted by PostmanR

Glen “Big Baby” Davis probably should have left college the year LSU went to the Final Four like his Tiger counterpart Tyrus Thomas. The ceiling for the big man, it was high. But he stuck around for another year, LSU wasn’t good and he got drafted in the second round during this summer’s NBA Draft. Bad choice, bub. I feel for ya. Oh yeah, then he got hit by a “smart” car in Rome.

He kind of hit me on the thigh, but it didn’t even hurt at all. I mean, it was one of those small cars that just fits two people. You see them all over here.

I told my mom I got hit by a car, and she was like, “Oh, lord, are you hurt?” I told her, “No, mom, I’m way bigger than the car.”

The guy knew it, too. When he got out, he checked his car first to see if it was OK. It was fine. No insurance claims or anything like that. Everything’s intact. I just kept walking.

One time when I was little, a guy completely ran me over with his bike. (Seriously, true story.) It hurt a lot. Big Baby is a lot tougher than me.

No Big Surprise from Big Baby

April 17th, 2006 | Posted by Matt

It’s a crucial point in time for many college basketball stars. They must ask themselves some questions - should I go pro and sign a multi-million dollar contract and begin my professional career and sign dozens of endorsement deals - or should I go back to school?

Gonzaga’s Adam Morrison can’t decide. Duke’s Josh McRoberts can’t either. But LSU’s Tyrus Thomas and Glen Davis - who formed one of the best frontcourt tandems in the nation last season - have made up their minds.

One is a surprise, the other is not. Thomas and ‘Big Baby’ Davis both loved being in the spotlight this past season during the Tigers’ Final Four run. Thomas, however, seemed to enjoy it the most out of the two big men and began seeing himself as a future NBA player the minute ESPN ran a highlight of him. Davis, on the other hand, realized he had a lot of work left to do before heading to the NBA, especially when it came to his eating habits.

Nobody wants to see another Baby Shaq in the NBA just yet. Good decision, Glen.
