Sam Hauser LIVE: Bus 1 Boys, Hot Shooting, Kornet’s Celebrations

View From The Rafters: Behind the Scenes with the Boston Celtics

Sam Hauser joined Marc D'Amico and Abby Chin live from Memoire at Encore Boston Harbor for the Season 4 finale and this convo didn’t disappoint. Hauser opened up by talking about his Bus 1 experience over the past couple of years (and the fact that he chose not to leave Bus 1) and his elite ability to come off the bench cold and drain shots from long distance. He joked about his defense being underrated because he’s a shooter and about Luke Kornet’s hilarious mid-game celebrations. Hauser also spoke about the sacrifices being made by the top players on the team and how inspiring that is, including Jrue Holiday, who has spoken directly to Hauser about what it took to win the 2021 NBA title. And finally during the last segment, we took video questions submitted by fans, including one that came from a very special someone.
