    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ESPN is broadcasting a five-part series on sex and sports this week and Hornets point guard Baron Davis said he was misled by the network to get his response to questions concerning professional athletes frequenting strip clubs.

    It was the subject for the first part of the series that aired on Sunday's SportsCenter, and Davis was interviewed as saying it occurs two or three times per week.

    "They lied to me and I'm highly offended," Davis said. "I only agreed to do the interview because they told me it was only going to be a joke-type thing at poking fun at the stereotypes of athletes."

    Do you know where I can find some quotes of things he said for the show? And while we're Talking about Baron Davis right now, I was wondering if anyone knows if he was rich before he hit the NBA.... because he went to high school with Paris and Nicki Hilton and Kate Hudson. What do you think?

    Nah, Davis wasn't rich...Highschools often "recruit" players, and I believe Davis was no exception...He actually grew up in south central L.A. (which isn't exactly a rich neighborhood)...he ended up playing at Crossroads Highschool in Santa Monica (West L.A.)....
