- Amen Thompson is a freak talent - a one-of-a-kind athlete with tremendous potential - but while his star upside has been plain to see since he entered the league, he has taken a leap in Year 2 to become one of the best players for the Houston Rockets, one of the best teams in the league.

easily the most underrated thing about amen is his second jump, bro literally lands on his toes and before the ball of his heels touch the floor hes leaping again and getting over 40 inches off the floor
Damn I need to watch more Rockets games
I’m a super big fan of Amen! He could honestly win most improved and 6th man of the year and we already know he’s making the All-Defensive Team. He’s gonna be one of the best 2-way players in league history!
I’ve been foaming at the mouth just thinking about this video finally dropping 😩
Bro said “Look at this shit…” 😂😂😂
I was waiting for it😂
I think he might be the best athlete ever seen in the NBA
LeBron? Giannis?
@@rileynewton1032 They're both amazing athletes for their size. But not the best athletes in the league.
Dr.j
Vince Carter and Steve Francis (for his size) were amazing to watch
I wonder how he compares to Olympic athletes.
Damn. So glad we drafted this kid !!! Whole damn squad stepping up. Lets go h town. We gonna be a problem in the playoffs 😊
Couldve made this video 3 hours. A little disappointing, but I’ll take what I can get.
This is Part 1 of 12
@@Nerd_Sesh Oh thank god. This did frighten me a bit.
@@Nerd_SeshThank god
He's the first guy since I watched Jordan in the 90's I can honestly say might be able to get to Jordan's level as a player. He has the 4 most important tools for being great at basketball which are competitive tenacity, IQ, supreme athleticism, and high level work ethic. At the minimum he'll be a top 10 player but his ceiling might be all-time great or maybe even the GOAT.
little too much
There were always players with the right tools, question is, will he stay healthy through his career imo
D.Rose for example....
Great analysis! We are witnessing his raw potential evolving into greatness. I’ve been watching him since day one of the NBA, and Amen has this rare characteristic where winning comes first stats second. Longer I’ve watched the NBA the only stars that win titles put Ws above stats. Old school thought bc now everyone switches teams to win championships(LBJ/Durant)
And now he dropped 31 on Celtics!
So he’s just if they combined Ant and Wemby and cranked his hustle up to 1000% is what I’m hearing
Ngl its probably safe to say he’s a generational talent
Excellent analogy of Amen! You did your homework brother. This dude is just different.😮
He plays like young derozan. They need to run the team through him!
I love the hype and breakdown, but I'm here for the highlights. And they are beautiful.
The Prayer
Hot take: He is the best player on the Rockets
This dude is a cyborg. So impressive live.
If I'm the nuggets I'm selling my soul for one of the twins, may be the best fit with jokic in the league
if the detroit or houston gm give up a thompson theyre beyond foolish.
Idk what Detroit got goin on but Houston damn sure not letting Amen go anywhere. And he has his own version of Jokic's play in Segun
There soul isn't valuable enough for either of the Thompsons lol
I hope he can get a halfway consistent jumper. I see all the ability to be the modern games version of Scottie Pippen or at least prime Shawn Marion.
Even without the jumper he seems pretty close prime Shawn Marion to me .
Shout out Amen but that was such an egregious travel at 0:05 😂
he did not have full possession of the ball until his two steps started, it was clean. if it's sliding in his hand he can take steps lol
@@cwj_721 That's exactly the case! He is so fast, he can often take 2 or 3 steps before he takes possession of the ball. He's not the only player that can do that, but he can cover a lot of ground.
Kinda reminds me of young Rodman defensively
DPOY
I doubt you are looking for feed back but I think you should put up the stats on the screen while you say them, just to engage the viewer a little more (and I would like it).
Also not saying you are looking for Feed back but it would also be interesting if when you say his numbers to other players if you could name the players so we have a comparison
So here for the rockets content
Rockets fans, we're lucky. Imagine if we got miller (maybe okay but now out for the season) or scoot. Other than shooting and tight handles, I can't say any weakness. If to chose 1, i rather he improves his handles and be our PG of the future. Then probably get a superstar shooting guard 🚀
that clip where he chases down bub carrington still dont look real
My Kanye West moment.
Amen Thompson is the best defender in the NBA.
Ppl seem to forget Giannis when talking best athlete… but yes Amen is probably 2nd now
Other than strength, what does Gianni’s have over amen? Genuinely asking
@ He dominates the game athletically he’s a top 3 player and can’t shoot… His speed, agility, vertical and strength at his size makes him the best athlete… in track and field maybe Amen would be better but for NBA Giannis is best athlete imo and there is a gap before anyone else
@@bkelly625 tbf Gianni’s ain’t shooting much better
@@bkelly625No. Wrong answer. Incorrect.
Giannis only seems super athletic cuz he’s tall, imagine if amen was 6’11 wit a 7’3 wingspan
Asuar just as good of a athlete
Not as good offensively but definitely defensively
@mexrider1 he is what amen do better offensively
He plays how I wanted Zion to off ball
Who up interacting with they video
Already better than Jayson Tatum. Future top 5 player…
totally
Ausar ain't a scrib either. Amen; still lacking a jumper, is remarkably effective and efficient.
Sounds like he needs some acne cream for that
What do you mean
@ he’s breaking out
@@carsongroel2426 😏
All I’m hearing is that he would be the absolute best complementary player to Jokic
True that. Amen Thompson however is the most untouchable piece in Houston
Yeah that's great what does the Nuggets want for Jokic? We'll part with Jock Landale and Aaron Holiday.
Didn’t realize Jokic was on the trade block
@@ryanodom7720That's what I'm sayin'! 😂
1 of 1? Is his twin brother not like him?
wouldn't most improved and break out not fit in this context? the guys a rookie
