Andrew Kamenetzky of ESPN L.A. has a great Q&A with Brandon Jennings, which includes a quote you might not expect.

AK: When you think of L.A. players, which guys or what styles comes to mind?

BJ: I'd have to say to Baron Davis. 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.
