SF Chronicle: Gwen Knapp on Baron Davis, "Made in America" and basketball
"Baron Davis, Warrior emeritus and film impresario, didn’t want to talk about basketball on the night he switched teams," writes Gwen Knapp. "He showed up Tuesday for a South of Market screening of the documentary that he and high school classmate Cash Warren, husband of actress Jessica Alba, co-produced, and tried to stick to the prearranged promotional script. He knew that the story about his signing with the Clippers had broken just two hours earlier, but declared that the only loyalty that mattered at the moment was the one he felt toward the kids enduring violence in gang-infested neighborhoods.
