Keyshawn Johnson Returns to Los Angeles Roots in New Limited Series ‘LA Legends’

Last November, FOX Sports’ Keyshawn Johnson returned to Susan Miller Dorsey High School in Baldwin Hills alongside fellow South Central LA native Paul Pierce to relive their shared inner-city upbringings. Most notably, Johnson revealed how local gang members would intimidate rival high schools by shooting out the stadium lights — earning Dorsey’s Jackie Robinson Field its infamous nickname, “The Terrordome.”

This summer, Johnson, a USC alum, former No. 1 overall draft pick and 11-year NFL wide receiver, is diving deeper into his Los Angeles roots in a new limited series titled “LA Legends” on his digital show “All Facts No Brakes.”

Johnson sits down with legendary figures interconnected within the LA landscape and immerses himself in the fabric of the city by visiting landmarks such as California State Prison and Inglewood High School. 

Through storytelling with guests such as Baron Davis, Trevor Ariza, Candace Parker and Ice Cube, “LA Legends” captures the heartbeat of Los Angeles and how the city shaped each legend’s career. 

Watch the series trailer and catch new episodes of the show weekly at 9 a.m. ET on “All Facts No Brakes.”
