  Sampson a big reminder of famous father | Prep Zone | ajc.com
The young Sampson — Northview’s 6-foot-10 junior — has a game that cannot help but remind one of his dad, who was perhaps the most fervently recruited high school player of all time.
At 7 feet 4 with a wingspan that seemed to stretch the width of the court, the elder Sampson was a three-time college National Player of the Year at the University of Virginia and had a nine-year NBA career that started smartly but was undone by knee troubles.
Daddy Sampson both amazed and aggravated with his desire to play some sort of point forward and, to a lesser degree, point guard at his towering height.

 Why Am I So Sad?
Other kids, both friends and enemies, can cause hurt feelings and sadness through fighting, teasing, peer pressure, not giving you support, or leaving you out of group activities.
Some kids mistakenly think that sad events like death, illness, or divorce are all their fault - but this isn't true.
When children have depression it is usually coming from a long period of sadness after the loss of someone really close, such as a parent; long-lasting problems at home, including violence, illness, divorce, or alcohol or drug use; child abuse or neglect; rape; and long-term illness, burns, or accidents.
