“I mean it’s kind of like I said I got access, you know, previously. But, you know, certain things I don’t let it validate me, you know? So, I mean, it would be great to be in those conversations. I do think I’ve done everything possible to deserve being in those conversations,” Sampson began.

“But those things don’t value. Like, just like my coach says, he knows the value and I know the value that I have to this team. And I know when I’m at my best. I’m strong and I know what I can do. So, I mean, people have turned on the tape and they’ll see what I do and as we continue to make this playoff run. You know, I only plan on getting strong and stronger as the weeks go by,” Sampson finished.
