Let's be honest. Too many dinners with Magic would adversely affect anyone's waistline.A couple of days ago, some pictures surfaced of a husky Baron Davis frolicking on the beach with a bikini-clad Jessica Alba. The fact that Baron was hanging with Jessica is not news; Baron played high school ball with Alba's man Cash Warren, and they've all been friends for some time. What was news however, was the fact that Alba seemed to be more physically fit than the NBA star who recently signed a free agent deal to join the Clippers.
According to the bastion of journalism that is People magazine, Baron is aware that he's a bit chubby, and is currently in the process of doing something about it. Inspired by the company's spokesperson Queen Latifah, Baron has taken up the Jenny Craig diet plan.
"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.Exactly how someone the size of Queen Latifah is qualified to represent a weight loss company is, for some reason, unclear to me. Let's just hope Baron's results are a little more evident when he's finished with the plan. And as an aside, if I were Chris Bosh, I certainly wouldn't be holding back with the fat jokes right about now.
During the NBA off-season, Davis let his fitness slide. "In the off-season, it's kind of hard to maintain day-to-day," he says. "I don't want to get up and cook. And when I pig out, I'm the type of person where there's no limit to what I can do."
