5:44 Being boxed out by one of the best defenders in the world, jumping over another defender for the rebound and dunking it in was just INSANE. They won that game by 2 points. Even though it shows up as 2 points and 1 rebound in the box score, Amen is routinely making plays like this that spell the difference between wins and losses. He is the future.
Even the Celtics home broadcast guys couldn't stop praising that play when it happened. If anyone ever gets curious what Amen is all about they should watch that play
Amen is my kinda player, sick of the foul baiting and 3 point chucking players. All he needs now is a jump shot to take him to the next level and for his longevity.
As a rockets fan i seen this coming. Yes we drafted him as a pg but when u have a all around game like he does u can put him everywhere. I say that 2 say us rockets fans seen this coming. All he needed was a starting spot
Finally, a player deserving of the hype. What I find odd is the lack of it coming in. The twins were the most intriguing prospects in last year's draft outside of Wemby. Usually fans drool all over these kind of players. The super athletes. And usually, they are a disappointment. This kid is already playing at an all-star level.
I was trying to get a good hold of what he reminded me of, but finally someone mentions Russ, and it just blows my mind! Not only is Amen much bigger than Russ, he's seemingly more athletic, better at rebounding, with less ball possession, while also being super young. If the Rockets trade this man, we deserve hell. Amen needs to stay a Rocket forever.
The kid already has the euro down pat. Looks like the fadeaway will be his next go-to shot. He can hit an open 3. I think he's an All-Star already, just needed the minutes. That ceiling is crazyyyyy.
People stil can't accept the fact that amen and Jalen green played well along side Steven Adams.. why??? Because adams don't need the ball to score he just there to provide rebounds and screen for amen and Jalen green. Look at Their +/- playing together in the Court... 🔥
Last gear i really thought Ausar was going to be the better player. Unfortunately he's been injured a decent bit. Hopefully he can stay healthy so we can see his potential as well
No he doesn’t. I watch Detroit and he doesn’t do none of the even the off ball stuff that Amen does. He’s not a beast on the boards like Amen. he’s not a threat in transition goin down hill like Amen. He’s hasn’t even shown the ability to do a eurostep like amen. He’s jsut as athletic as Amen but he hasn’t shown the ability to be as skilled as Amen. And stop bringing up Cade like he’s preventing Ausar from breaking out because amen has to play behind high usage players like Sengun Jalen and FVv
As a math guy i had to stop the video due to the egregious error holy smokes. There are 500 NBA player outs of 334.5 million Americans but half the NBA is International so if you count the world thats 7.6 billion Thats 0.0000000149%. lol this is why scrubs think they can challenge nba players. They dont understand math nor how elite these athletes are
His perception and reaction time are also unbeliaveable. That is why he steals the ball, find the person to assist or backdoors so easily. Also energizer bunny will be in shame against him.
bro dont forgot about ausar, he's just as good but he plays for detroit so no one cares cause they're 500 but the rockets one of the top dawgs in the west but nonetheless keep it up 6man
Yea it's already insane that Amen is one of the most athletic people on the planet but the fact that he has a twin brother who just as athletic and gifted is just straight bonkers to me. Like I fr can't comprehend that fact lol
This take completely ignores his bball iq, his feel for the game and the reality that he will continue to get better at all facets of the game which he has already demonstrated the ability to do.
He’s only 21 dawg.. and he don’t just rely on his athleticism either. Dude can pass and defend at a high clip as well, he a jump shop away from being unstoppable
I love that the national media is starting to take notice of what Amen is doing. He must be so fun to play with.
@@user-nr2ku9dk9b also seems like areally great guy
Us rockets fans knew what it was. Everyone else just catching on
He's just a player that goes after it on both sides of the ball. A coach's dream player.

Kid is explosive, mix of ja russ and Giannis 🥶
Facts just seen him play in person vs the hawks and was everywhere on the court
@Chase_Babytronfan11 shout out to hawks bro yall got a squad fr, hate to see the news about jalen johnson
There is a type of player that a coach would put on the court even if he don't know how to play basketball. Amen Thompson is one of those players.
X-Amen is Super Human!!
A special player.
They are unlocking the Twins they been like this 😂
I agree.
You need to get your brother on the team too
As a rockets fan i seen this coming. Yes we drafted him as a pg but when u have a all around game like he does u can put him everywhere. I say that 2 say us rockets fans seen this coming. All he needed was a starting spot
It very apparent in the second half last season that Houston was gonna be prime time this year
Amen's defense is next level. Sometimes he reacts to his man at the same time as his opponent tries to make his move.

As a Rockets fan, i'm glad Amen was available at 4th pick. I really thought the Hornets or Blazers would pick him.
Obviously they don’t have a shooting touch and GM’s feared another Fultz scenario
@@Rickle_Pick23Coming out of college, Fultz shot well. And he wasn't a super athlete.
The problem is. Amen athleticism is mostly on defense and casuals don't watch defense.

Thank u. He doesnt need a 3 point shot 2 be effective. We see that. Thank u 4 pointing that out. Finally someone with baskeball sense
If coaches actually value the game and not just going off peer pressure, Amen’s an all star
The kid already has the euro down pat. Looks like the fadeaway will be his next go-to shot. He can hit an open 3. I think he's an All-Star already, just needed the minutes. That ceiling is crazyyyyy.
Amen should become a mid range specialist.
That block on ja when he's back on his heels was next level
He has speed and handle with the ball too. So huge
Amen is one of a kind, he will be better than victor
People stil can't accept the fact that amen and Jalen green played well along side Steven Adams.. why??? Because adams don't need the ball to score he just there to provide rebounds and screen for amen and Jalen green.
Look at Their +/- playing together in the Court...
🔥
How is basketball even getting by nowadays? Seems like I'm being told someone is breaking it every other week.
I know right ? Seems like every time the NBA gets fixed, some new guy comes along and breaks it again. SMH.
Last gear i really thought Ausar was going to be the better player. Unfortunately he's been injured a decent bit. Hopefully he can stay healthy so we can see his potential as well
The crazy thing is. Asaur has this same potential
Future Rocket 👀
Bro stop trying to slide his brother in there Amen is a couple levels above him
@@darnejackson1 keyword potential. He’s better rn but not as much as you think. Less opportunity in Detroit
But asaur stock under cade ball stats pads mindset.
No he doesn’t. I watch Detroit and he doesn’t do none of the even the off ball stuff that Amen does.

AMEN! 🙏🏀🚀
Everything is breaking the nba, nothing left
Basically not as good as his twin BRUH
He plays like a 90s/2000s All-Star. The Rockets are a lot of fun to watch
for Thompson goon on ya mate. TNT funny man Chuck had lots a rbounds as well at 6'5 o 6' 6"
Amen: bring my brother here please, we’ll share one contract!
Crazy thing is his real position is point guard 🫨
I remember all the ausuar videos jus forgetting about amen. Look at yall now
the young westbrook! hope he keeps up his pace
Im always surprised to see Alec Burks somehow still around
Make a vid about Deni Avdija also
Amen is my MyPlayer build
As a math guy i had to stop the video due to the egregious error holy smokes. There are 500 NBA player outs of 334.5 million Americans but half the NBA is International so if you count the world thats 7.6 billion

yeah baby!!
Evan "Mowgli"😂
Ahahaha trust me dyslexia will hit you in unsurprising ways when you record vids
@6manYT i will always call him that from now on
His perception and reaction time are also unbeliaveable. That is why he steals the ball, find the person to assist or backdoors so easily.
Also energizer bunny will be in shame against him.
his bro in Detroit is the best defender in the league
literally not on his heels at all on that block on ja
i love this kid so much
He's a mix of prime Russ and Giannis with a sprinkle of Ja
bro dont forgot about ausar, he's just as good but he plays for detroit so no one cares cause they're 500 but the rockets one of the top dawgs in the west but nonetheless keep it up 6man
Yea it's already insane that Amen is one of the most athletic people on the planet but the fact that he has a twin brother who just as athletic and gifted is just straight bonkers to me. Like I fr can't comprehend that fact lol
he’s not just as good.
not yet, his outside game still needs improvement,
He's Rodman and Pippen in 1. Lol
He also blocked wemby at almost apex
Oh yeahhhh
Dominique Wilkins esque?
Yo my new team.. .Aman at pg, Wemby C Cooper flagg pf lol just a ludacris defensive team
super fun player to watch
Jabari smith must not start anymore. He can run the bench.
the amen break
👍🏻👌🏻
he's great but i think the moment he loses a step his game is gone he is a spectacular athlete hence he relies to much on his athleticism
This take completely ignores his bball iq, his feel for the game and the reality that he will continue to get better at all facets of the game which he has already demonstrated the ability to do.
He’s only 21 dawg.. and he don’t just rely on his athleticism either. Dude can pass and defend at a high clip as well, he a jump shop away from being unstoppable
@@BrusselSprout77 this is a crazy thing to say about a guy with 1.5 years of pro ball experience. He's 21.
Stop glazing
Oh yeah he's really breaking the NBA with 13 points a game
While holding your favorite player under twenty. Yeah, he’s doing pretty damn well.
@aricrudd6579 Tyler Herro had 30 on his head lol 😆
@aricrudd6579 can I get an Amen 🙏🏾
@@CeeJay1457 Tyler herro is also a different type of player , and where is miami in the standing rn ?
Guess you didn't watch the game he put two on amen wow
It's Evan Mobley, not Mogley.
Got his shit packed no matter what his name is 💀
😭😭😭
