It Ain’t Just Ice Cube And Dr. Dre: Did You Know They Were From Compton?

- By

Baron Davis

The basketball star, who is now a free agent with a mean beard, was raised in Compton. In fact, Davis is good friends with rapper Game, and is the godfather to the rapper’s son, Harlem. While many Compton ballers played at Dominguez High School, Baron Davis was able to go to a pretty distinguished high school (Crossroads School), and became a pretty huge hoop star in LA as a teen.  Many look up to him, including NBA player Brandon Jennings: “He’s probably the Godfather of Los Angeles basketball for us, because everybody grew up looking at BD and he was the one who made it out. He was the one that always came back to Los Angeles and kind of took care of everybody.”
