“I feel like I'm going to have a good time there,” the former Boston Celtics forward told TMZ Sports over the weekend. “I'll learn things, meet new people. It's all going to be good.”

He added that he was not nervous about going to prison and joked about working on his body.

“Shout out to the women out there,” she added. “Write to me. I'll be there getting really good. When I get out, call me 'Big Baby Jailbait.'”

Davis was part of an insurance scheme that prosecutors say defrauded an insurance plan for NBA players and their families of up to $5 million. More than 20 people were charged in the case, many of them players who submitted fictitious medical and dental claims to the NBA Players Health and Welfare Plan.

Former New Jersey Nets player Terrence Williams and former Detroit Pistons guard Will Bynum were among the others convicted in the scheme.

Davis was part of the Celtics' 2008 NBA championship team and won a national championship with LSU in 2006.
