Glen Davis Wrongly Calls Out Shaquille O'Neal For Sitting Out In The 2010 Finals: "I Was Gonna Put Shaq In There, But I Can't F**k With Him."

Shaquille O'Neal may be largely remembered for his domination during his stint with the Los Angeles Lakers, but Shaq's career lasted for a long while after that. He enjoyed success in Miami playing alongside Dwyane Wade and winning another championship, but injuries and poor conditioning led to Shaq spending his latter years bouncing around from team to team.

He eventually ended his career as a Boston Celtic, joining the team in 2010. And during that time, he was teammates with Glen 'Big Baby' Davis, who won a championship with the Celtics in 2008. Big Baby seems to have some problems with Shaq, as he called him out on an appearance on All The Smoke. But what's funny is that his gripe is based on something that never happened.

When asked to build his ideal 5-a-side team, Davis went in on Shaq, saying he wouldn't include the big man on his team because he quit on the Celtics. The 2010 Finals that Big Baby accused Shaq of quitting on though, he wasn't even on the roster for. It made for a hilarious quote.

“I was gonna put Shaq on there, but I can’t f*** with him,” Big Baby explained. “Cause 2010, he act like his toe was hurting and didn’t want to play against the Lakers. Yeah. Yeah, ain’t nobody know that, though, huh? How your toe keep you out the Finals. You can’t give us 10 minutes, man? With your toe? Your toe broke?”

“Shaq’s toe was messed up. I don’t know because I seen him swimming the next day in the pool. Paddling his feet and doing all that, toe raises. So Shaq, I’m on your a**. I remember. I still love you, though … But, you ain’t played against the Lakers when we was in that Finals, motherf***er. You think you slick.”

Davis may want to go back and look up what happened during those Finals since Shaq certainly wasn't around. The Celtics even beat the Cavaliers in the 2nd round that season, who did have Shaq on the roster, making it an even wilder story. Just goes to show how even NBA players sometimes forget what exactly happened during their careers.
