It didn’t take long for Ramon Sessions to realize that playing for the Los Angeles Lakers is different than playing for small-market teams like the Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers. Within two weeks of joining the Lakers, Sessions was being recognized all over Los Angeles, followed by paparazzi and chased by fans.

“I was staying in a hotel right by the practice facility at first and I would see some fans waiting out back when I left,” Sessions said. “One time, I parked in the front of the hotel and started walking down the hallway. The next thing I know, there are five fans running after me in the hallway. It was crazy. They came out of nowhere and they were coming at me. I was just thinking, ‘What is going on?’”

“Nobody knows what its like,” Sessions said with a laugh. “People may think they know, but they don’t have any idea how much different it is to be a Laker. No disrespect to the other places that I’ve been, but it’s totally different out here. Even just walking around, it’s crazy. It’s the Lakers. You’re on T.V. every night and everyone knows who you are. I had paparazzi follow me. That’s a first, for sure. It’s wild out here. The Lakers are the show that everyone watches around here.”

Sessions’ stint with the Lakers was successful, but chaotic. The point guard averaged 12.7 points and 6.2 assists during the regular season, despite joining the team in March and having to learn everything on the fly with limited practice time. During this condensed season, it was very difficult for traded players to adjust to their new surroundings and Sessions admits that the transition wasn’t easy.
