Bailey, popularly known as "Big Shel," began his collegiate basketball career at Winthrop University, but his NBA dreams were cut short due to injuries. Then he transferred to Florida International University, where he averaged 3.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists on 48.1% shooting during the 2004-05 season.

After graduating with a degree in political science, Bailey transitioned to acting and has since landed big roles on big shows for major networks, including Netflix, Showtime and FX/Hulu, Nickelodeon, Amazon Prime and Peacock.

"Big Shel" has also been involved in other sports, including Australian rules football, volleyball, football and boxing.

Sports reporter reveals how MiLaysia Fulwiley's LSU transfer broke hearts

Former South Carolina women's basketball star, MiLaysia Fulwiley, reportedly broke hearts when she announced she was entering the transfer portal. Fulwiley and the Gamecocks were coming off a blowout loss to UConn in the national championship game.

The Greenville News reporter Lulu Kesin, who broke the news of Fulwiley's transfer, revealed how it broke fans' hearts. Kesin cited her mother as an example.

"It broke my mom’s heart,” she said."My mom's favorite player ever is MiLaysia Fulwiley. So, like you see the effect these players have on fans. It’s hard to be the one that obviously is like, ‘They’re leaving,’ but at the same time, that is my job, and not reporting that when I found the information would have been not doing my job."

Despite coming off the bench, Fulwiley was the team's second-best scorer last year (11.7 points per game). However, she only started 3 out of 77 games in her two years at South Carolina, which made college hoop experts and fans speculate that she would leave the team.

The Columbia native, who is regarded as a hometown hero, will now focus on her performances at LSU, where she will team up with Flau'jae Johnson, Mikaylah Williams and transfer center Kate Koval next season.
