From a young age, Sam Hauser was taught by his parents to never, ever worry about his stats.
All that mattered in the Hauser family was the victory.
That’s what his mother, Stephanie Hauser, relayed to CelticsBlog in a conversation earlier this month, in which she reflected on her son’s ascension from an undrafted University of Virginia standout to the major contributor on an NBA championship team.
Both Stephanie and her husband, Dave, played basketball in college. Their kids, Sam, Joey, and Nicole, were all athletes growing up, with Joey currently playing in the G League and Nicole having played college volleyball.
