EPSN 710 reporter Ramona Shelburne talks with the Lake Show Life about expectations for next season in Los Angeles
With Lakers’ forward, Tarik Black coaching her, Ramona Shelburne recently played in the ESPNLA 710 All-Star Celebrity Game earlier this month. It was great fun for a great cause as the funds raised from the game benefited the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund for The V Foundation.
Ramona played some great defense during the game, likely due to the fact that she was indeed a college athlete. She played outfield for the Stanford Cardinal softball team from 1998-2001, and her athleticism showed during the game. The guys totally underestimated her, something we’re sure they regretted each time she blocked a pass.

We previously brought you interviews with play-by-play man John Ireland and TWC Sportsnet sideline reporter Mike Trudell, as well as Tarik Black to share their thoughts on the Lakers and the influence head coach Luke Walton has had so far on the organization.
In this interview, Shelburne talks about what it means to be relied upon to be the source for Lakers’ news saying, “If I am going to put my name on something, then I make sure I feel pretty good about it.”
She also speaks about Lute Olson’s influence and her interest in finding out how Luke Walton will pull the team together this season. Additionally, she also sheds some light on who may become the leaders in the locker room. Here is the interview from The Lake Show Life:

In closing, we want to thank Ramona for her time and giving us her thoughts on impending future of the Lakers franchise. We hope the team gets to the playoffs sooner than two to three years, but she is probably right on the money, per usual.
