Born on January 23, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, Franklin Session grew up in the Watts neighborhood. He initially did not start playing basketball until his junior year at Jordan High School, after being noticed for his raw athleticism. His collegiate basketball career began at Irvine Valley College (2007–2008), where he contributed to a conference championship. He then transferred to Saddleback College (2008–2009), earning All-California Community College first-team honors and MVP of the Orange Empire Conference. Session’s journey continued to Weber State (2009–2010), playing alongside future NBA All-Star Damian Lillard, where he was named the Big Sky Conference Newcomer of the Year and second-team All-Big Sky. He completed his college career at Cal State Los Angeles (2010–2011), making the All-CCAA first team and leading the Golden Eagles to their first CCAA Championship Tournament victory.
After college, Session was drafted by the Los Angeles D-Fenders in the 6th round of the 2011 NBA Development League draft, though an injury led to his waiver. He then stepped away from professional basketball briefly, working as a Verizon Wireless store manager before returning to the court in the Drew League. This pro-am summer league is where he earned significant recognition, winning four consecutive league MVP awards, gaining the nickname “Frank Nitty,” and winning the Drew League championship with his team, Birdie’s Revenge, in 2017. His standout performances in the Drew League led to renewed professional opportunities, including a stint with the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League in 2017. Session later played for the Island Storm of the National Basketball League of Canada (2017–2018), where he was named the NBLC’s Newcomer of the Year and second-team All-NBLC.
Session’s international career includes playing for Al-Gharafa of the Qatari Basketball League from 2018–2019 and again from 2020–2021, where he earned accolades such as Qatar Player of the Year (2021) and multiple All-Qatar First Team selections. He also played for Jeoutai Basketball of the Taiwanese Super Basketball League during the 2019–2020 season. Since 2019, he has been a prominent player in the BIG3 3×3 basketball league, initially as co-captain and later as captain of the Killer 3’s. He led the league in steals in 2021 and remains a key figure in the league, consistently delivering high-impact plays.
