NBA Star Baron Davis is much more than a great athlete. As a person who grew up in South Los Angeles he is very familiar with gangs and the life that gang members lead. To help kids stay away from the gang life he has done something amazing. In this video we talk to his Clippers teammate Jason Hart, who also grew up in the same area, to find out how he avoided the gang influences. We also join LAPD's Gang Unit for a ride through the streets of South L.A.

Check out the video after the jump.
