Glen "Big Baby" Davis has no regrets about choosing basketball over football. That's because he's achieved success and a championship with the Boston Celtics -- and also because he doesn't believe his days on the football field are over.
Davis, the Celtics' 6-foot-9, 290-pound forward, said he eventually wants to play in the NFL.
“
When I become an All-Star in the NBA, when I become a great player in the NBA, then I'll try football. One of my dreams has always been to play football.
” -- Glen Davis
"I will try it," said Davis, who's on the injured list for six weeks with a broken right thumb sustained in a fight. "When I become an All-Star in the NBA, when I become a great player in the NBA, then I'll try football. One of my dreams has always been to play football."
Davis was a terrific two-way football player at University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge, La., starring at defensive end, defensive tackle and tailback. But he chose to hang up his cleats and accept a basketball scholarship to LSU, where he became an All-American.
"I definitely could have made it to the NFL," Davis said.
He doesn't have a specific position in mind in the NFL.
"It don't matter," he said. "I just want to play."
Davis is now in his third season with the Celtics. He averaged just 7 points and 4 rebounds per game as a reserve last season, but while replacing Kevin Garnett as a starter in the playoffs, Davis pushed his averages to 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.
In August, Davis signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the Celtics. He doesn't foresee jumping to the NFL at the end of this contract because he doesn't think he'll reach his NBA goals by then.
"No, we've got too many other great players in front of me -- KG and Rasheed Wallace -- for that to happen," he said.
Davis found himself in hot water with the Celtics after breaking his thumb in an early-morning fight with a longtime friend just two days before the start of the regular season. He apologized to his teammates and was fined for the indiscretion, but was not suspended.

He really likes to be yelled at.
Thanks KG
I'm thinking more like 6-foot-6, 325-pound forward.Davis, the Celtics' 6-foot-9, 290-pound forward
interesting. wonder what happens when someone clips his legs.
he's still spinnin!
he just wants to wear those tights
Pretty stupid thing for him to say. He's not going to play in the NFL on anything more than a practice team.
& then peel 'em off slowly.
he's young and dumb, a monta ellis after a million burgers

I'd be pissed if I were Doc though. Big baby already wrecks his hand in a stupid incident, then talks about playing in the NFL? I'd tell him he needs to get his head screwed on straight. I mean, if I was at a job and talked about working for another one, my boss probably wouldn't care for it.he's young and dumb, a monta ellis after a million burgers
I remember two seasons ago when the Celtics beat the Pistons in the 2008 ECF, there were reports that Big Baby was playing a pick-up game of tackle football with some high school kids in Detroit like the day before one of the games. Who does that? It's the Eastern Conference Finals. Yeah, you're a bench player who doesn't play big minutes. Yes, you're bigger and stronger than all those high school kids. But really?
So in other words Glen Davis is never going to play football.When I become an All-Star in the NBA, when I become a great player in the NBA, then I'll try football.

He'd be more than glad to play your balls though. It shouldn't be anything hard for Glen to curbstomp your balls out of your immigrant bag and make two cracking sounds with them, presuming you've got a pair of them. It's just a way to prevent your inferior Gene contaminating the females around you, given the fact that females are easily seduced by foreign accents according to johnjeff show.
What's the big deal? Do you think the guys is really thinking about playing in the NFL after making the HOF? It's a freaking fluff piece, probably written before the incident, where the guy talks lightly about the issue, after a question from the reporter about the issue - Davis was a very good football player in HS and that triggered the question. Lighten up, Francis.
FWIW, the main reason LSU wanted Davis was because they thought they could convince him to play football for them.
Eh, I just think it's a stupid thing to say a week after doing
something stupid. I'm not saying Doc should tear into him publicly, but i'd tell him in private that he should probably focus on his NBA game first and stop thinking about playing for the NFL.
Cool kids have multiple accounts on internet message boards and stalk people who embarrassed them.
And theres the customary response by Rogues
It's not anything cool to wear such a number of posts, which only indicates you're so idle in real life that you have pretty much time to waste on internet arguing with idiots, unless you're an immigrant who speaks a ty language as mother tongue. It's only cool of you to pour so much to accentuate your immigrant iden y, which makes you feel superior to your fellows who're still wiggling in your home country, despite how shameful your race is.Cool kids have multiple accounts on internet message boards and stalk people who embarrassed them.

sons he wouldn't have been jack on LSU's football team. especially the years that he went to school there we were a beast. big baby is turning into a disgrace for LSU.
LSU and the SEC do a fine job of discracing themselves without big babys help!
Les Miles is trying hard to compete with him.
LOL sorry son I had to laugh ... how is Jamarcus Russell working out?
son I swear I have hated on that lazy slob from day one. I was alone with my hate on him around here in BR because everyone else kissed his ass at LSU. the dude is very PHYSICALLY talented, but that's where it stops. he is a complete moron and has next to no football IQ.
LSU won both of their most recent National les with below average QB's ... but those QB's had a brain. Jamarcus damn near single handedly cost us from winning back to back les.
son I can't tell you how many times I saw him out at bars around town. cool dude and all, but terrible starting QB.
LMAO ...clown!!!!!!
Have you not seen the SEC officials just hand Florida the last couple games keeping their team in the le game race? The only way they saved a little face was to suspend them and the next crew follows suit the following game.
...and Les Miles is the biggest in college football.
Pathetic!
