Glen "Big Baby" Davis is most known for his role on the 2008 Boston Celtics team that beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals to win the franchise's league-leading 17th NBA title. And despite having an extensive NBA career, Davis has appeared to fall off the wagon.

Fans on social media erupted with their reactions.

Ex-Warriors Star Comes to Big Baby's Defense
Davis may have fallen off the wagon since his retirement. But there are still people who believe that his actions are not a representation of his true character. Ahead of Davis' sentencing, former Golden State Warrior Andre Iguodala, who is also the Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association, spoke about the "positive impact," Davis had throughout his career.
"On behalf of all of our NBPA members past and present, I respectfully ask that you consider Glen's accomplishments and the positive impact he has had on those around him when determining his sentence," Iguodala wrote in his letter. "I recognize the seriousness of this legal matter and appreciate the thoroughness of the judicial process. I ask for leniency with these factors in mind."
Davis, an NBA Champion with the Boston Celtics in 2008, retired from the NBA in 2015. At his sentencing, he said that after losing basketball, he began to lose his sense of self-awareness.
"When I lost basketball, I lost myself," he said to Judge Valerie E. Caproni before he was sentenced. "I ask you, your honor, to help me get back to who I am."
