Amen, and Ausar Thompson made history as the first twins to both be selected within the top five picks in the NBA Draft. Amen joined the Rockets at the fourth overall pick, while Ausar found his spot with the Detroit Pistons.

Drawing comparisons to the Morris Twins, Marcus, and Markieff Morris, the young Ausar and Amen Thompson emerge as the next potential dynamic duo in the NBA. While the season is still months away, the Thompson brothers get into a playful banter with each other.

Trash-talking tendencies and distinct approaches

The twins, Amen and Ausar, recently shed light on their differing trash-talking tendencies. Ausar’s outspoken nature stands out as he engages in banter regardless of the game’s situation. In contrast, Amen reserves his words to support his brother or respond to opponents. Their playful exchange showcased their distinct approaches to on-court communication; Ausar even hints at using some “sneaky stuff.”
