The New York Knicks signed Ramon Sessions to a one-year contract in part to be the veteran mentor for 19-year-old rookie Frank Ntilikina.
Sessions started the process Wednesday at training camp when he provided Frank with some motivation.
The 31-year-old told Marc Berman of The New York Post that his new teammate reminded him of a former teammate of his: Kyrie Irving.
Sessions played with Irving during his rookie season 2011-12. He was the same age as Frank, 19. The Frenchman was thrilled with the praise from his new teammate.
