Baron Davis is LA to his core, so of course Dan had to meet with him on his home turf for a special LA-based episode of South Beach Sessions.

Baron cracks open his past - growing up in South LA surrounded by violence and abuse - detailing his journey through the care of his grandparents from poverty to one of the wealthiest schools in the country.
