Glen Davis affectionately known as “Big Baby” burst on the scene in 2004 as Mr. Basketball for his home state of Louisiana and as a McDonald’s High School All American. After leading his high school team to two State Championships he went on to star at Louisiana State University becoming the conference’s freshman of the year in 2005 and its Player of the Year in 2006 while leading LSU to the Final Four. Following that season, Glen entered the NBA draft and was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics with the 35th pick of the 2007 draft. Shortly thereafter the Boston Celtics traded for him as part of the Ray Allen trade.

During the 2007‐2008 season, his rookie season, Glen was a major contributor helping the Celtics win their 17th World Title. In his second season (2008‐2009), with the injury to star power forward Kevin Garnett, Glen started several games and established career highs in points, rebounds, minutes and games played, games started and free throw percentage. In the games Glen started the Celtics won 75% of them. With Garnett missing the entire 2008‐2009 playoffs again due to injury, Glen started every game during the Celtics’ two rounds of the playoffs and finished averaging nearly 16 points and 6 rebounds per game, while shooting 49.1%. In game four of the Celtics’ 2nd Round Series against Orlando, Glen hit the game inner at the buzzer to tie the series at 2 games to 2. He finished the game with 21 points and 6 rebounds on 9 of 14 shooting.

In addition to being known as “Big Baby”, Glen has also been referred to as the “Ticket Stub” for his outstanding play when called upon to start in place of Kevin Garnett, the “Big Ticket”. This was on display again in the 1st round of the 2010 playoffs when the Big Ticket was suspended for the second game of the series against the Miami Heat. Glen responded by scoring 23 points on 7 of 14 shooting, ad 8 rebounds and was 9 of 11 from the free throw line.

His career continues to prosper and at only 24 years of age, he clearing has a bright future. His success on the court has brought him significant exposure and notoriety, but his commitment to helping others is what clearly drives him. Growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in a single parent household had an indelible effect on him. He realizes he had several helping hands along the way that pushed him and kept him on the right path. Thus the reason most of his time away from basketball is spent encouraging young people to remain in school and to believe that all things are possible if you are truly committed. His work with homeless youth and the Boston Police department in encouraging at risk middle school kids to avoid gangs are evidence of his commitment to young people. Whether it’s encouraging a young person stricken with a disease through the Make A Wish foundation or recording a PSA in conjunction with the UNICEF Haiti Relief efforts, Glen “Big Baby” Davis continues to demonstrate on a daily basis – “To much is given, much is expected”.
