Boom DizzleI’ve heard of Stephon Marbury studying ballet and P.J. Brown doing yoga, but Baron Davis on Jenny Craig? Everyone always says that Hollywood changes people, but who knew it would come to this. According to PEOPLE, Boom Dizzle was the new man on the Jenny plan this August to get in shape for his upcoming inaugural season in Los Angeles.
“I know Queen Latifah, and when I saw her out there using it, I thought maybe I could use it, too, to work on my health and fitness goals and inspire others,” he tells PEOPLE.
Clearly I’m not against players getting in shape, but the funniest thing about this is that even B-Diddy’s boys were talking smack when they found out.
“They were like, ‘Huh? Why is Jenny Craig in your fridge? Why are you eating this?’ But then I’d be at a friend’s house and have my weekly check-in call, and they saw how serious I was about it and it helped.”
Weighing in at 215 lbs. last season, we’d be surprised how much weight Davis actually lost/put on over the summer. He’ll reveal the magic number at a press conference in L.A. on Friday, and don’t worry, we’ll be sure to follow up and let you know.

Actually, great move by Baron. Some of the other off-season out-of-shapers should follow suit.

E-city, Z-Bo, Marc Gasol, and Shaq should stop fronting and get on the plan too!
Even Mark Jackson could stand to drop a few.

Good ish. I’m sure he’ll get heckled a little at opposing arenas and maybe by other players in the league, but ultimately he’s doing it for the benefit of his own health.
Although, I don’t think this was the U-N-I-T-Y Latifah had in mind years ago.

About time he took control of his weight. His body probably wouldn’t be as fucked up if he would have done this shit 6 years ago.
I could see Eddy and Fat Zach on this…and then hiding candy and doughnuts around the NY locker room. They’d be worse than those fat lil fuckers in that Ben Stiller movie “Heavyweights”.

Haha. It wouldn’t be too far a stretch to get the NBA to sponsor something like that! Shawn Kemp would have been great a couple years ago.

Ed Curry would never get on Jenny Craig. Bacon-wrapped gravy-drenched porkchops are not on the menu.
I could see Z-Bo doing it for the same reason that Jay and Silent Bob went to the abortion clinic in Dogma to meet loose women: he’d get first crack at a bunch of girls who used to be fat and are just now building up their self esteem.
either way I could see both of them in the Vincent D’Onofrio/R Lee Ermy scene in Full Metal Jacket where Ermy finds a jelly donut stashed in D’Onofrio’s footlocker and gives him shit for it. and then Jamal and Nate Rob and David Lee put bars of soap into socks and mercilessly pummel his fat belly while he’s asleep.
