Did you see Big Baby go and hug Collis Sr. after the victory. It shows how grateful he is to the people that helped him achieve.

danfraz...your right...he sucked in college....i guess whoever thought Big Baby was good in college and would be pretty good in the pros doesn't know what they are talking about...whoever's not surprised that he's playing well for the Celtics is a moron in my book.....whoever doesn't share your opinion doesn't know shite, too....

but are you surprised he developed that shot and is playing well?.....my only point is that i'm not surprised he's playing well...he's always had the touch and now he's using it a little further out...he's making the most out of his open looks......Good Job Big Baby!!!!!...I, along with many many LSU fans, knew you could do it!!!!!....there are a select few that claim they were fans of yours that did NOT think you could do it...WOW!!...even some of your "fans" are actually SHOCKED that you can hit a 15 foot jumper!!....but not me Glenn...i always knew you had the shooting touch to quickly develop that shot and i'm not surprised at all!!......if you're reading this and i know you definitely are, keep playing well and proving the nay-sayers(select few ranters) wrong!

nah...he's my 2nd favorite LSU b-ball player ever and i hate to see a few "so-called" Tiger fans hating on someone who's played so well for the program and made the most of his abilities....that doesn't mean i've got the man's penis in my mouth...

dude are you talking to yourself? No one is hating on Big Baby. You wanna see this board melt down let JaMarcus Russell become successful. Then you can call all the "so-called" Tiger fans out that you want

"but are you surprised he developed that shot and is playing well?....."

Uh... who really knew if he could do it?? Nobody. You can guess and hope but you never really know until it's tried. He showed little sign of an outside game at LSU. Sometimes it does not happen. Shaq practiced his foul shooting a lot, with little improvement.

Like I posted he finally got some decent coaching. I'd make a fair bet if TJ had him for a couple of years he would have gone to the NBA with that shot, and in the first round. It was obviously the next step in his offensive game but was never addressed till he got to the pros. Give him credit for doing the work and having the guts to put it up in the games.

Big baby always had that jump shot. I have seen him hit 3's while he was at LSU. The reason he is doing well in the NBA is because you don't have to be able to jump high to play, it is more about position and moves. Due to the defensive 3 second, bigs cannot park in the lane and just wait for you. I would trade Tyson for Big Baby right now if I had any say in the matter. I know he is another power forward, but he is a scorer with the ball in his hand, unlike Tyson who has absolutely no post up move.

your right pttigris....it's a fact that NOBODY thought he could do it....have you ever played basketball?....you act like he developed some impossible shot.....not that hard to learn how to hit that shot when he was already blessed with a soft touch...it's not like he hit a three or something....he buried the open look....but your right....NOBODY thought he could do it...WOW!!!...who would have thought Big Baby could drain an open 14 footer....WOW!!...not in my wildest dreams!!!.....dude..shooting ain't as hard as it looks...Geez

no way KaplanTiger you wrong.....pttigris said NOBODY thought Big Baby could do that!!....you know how hard it is and how many years of practice it takes for somebody to hit an open 14 footer?....first off, it takes a miracle because the shot is so far away!....i don't think pttigris knows shite about basketball since it was SHOCKING that Big Baby developed that 14 footer....

That makes driving the lane easier. Don't get where you're going here.

Glen may have been able to shoot that shot after a fashion or occasionally but he never owned that short jumper the way he does now. It was never much a part of his offensive game at LSU.

And he must be showing it a lot in practice for the coach to make him one of the options for the last shot. Pearce didn't hesitate to give it to him either.
