“Rah-mahn or Ra-mone, it doesn’t matter,” Sessions said.
All right. On to another pressing question: Have you been surprised by your sudden impact on the Lakers?
“I wouldn’t say it caught me by surprise,” said Sessions, acquired March 15 from Cleveland. “It’s something I knew deep down inside if I ever got the opportunity to showcase my skill I knew I could fit in with one of the best teams in the league.
“My career has been kind of like this. I’ve played well. I’ve just been (with teams) like Milwaukee, Minnesota and Cleveland that don’t get much coverage. I know guys in the NBA circle know I can play.
“It’s a dream come true for that trade to go through and be put in this situation.”
