Keyshawn Johnson Embraces His Los Angeles Roots in New Series 'LA Legends'
Keyshawn Johnson explores his Los Angeles upbringing alongside fellow sports icons in a new limited series that highlights their shared experiences.
In November last year, Keyshawn Johnson visited Susan Miller Dorsey High School in Baldwin Hills with fellow LA native Paul Pierce to reconnect with their inner-city backgrounds. Johnson shared an anecdote about how local gang members would intimidate rival schools by shooting out the stadium lights, earning the nickname ‘The Terrordome’ for Dorsey’s Jackie Robinson Field.
This summer, Johnson is set on delving even deeper into his Los Angeles heritage with a new limited series titled ‘LA Legends’ on his show ‘All Facts No Brakes’.
The series features conversations with prominent figures interconnected within the LA community, as Johnson explores iconic locations like California State Prison and Inglewood High School.
Through powerful storytelling alongside guests such as Baron Davis, Trevor Ariza, Candace Parker, and Ice Cube, ‘LA Legends’ strives to capture the essence of Los Angeles and the role it played in their lives.
Watch the trailer and tune in for new episodes each week at 9 a.m. ET on ‘All Facts No Brakes’.
