Amen talked about his childhood dream and wanted to grow to the same height as James. So has it been realized?

Rockets player Amen Thomson and Pistons player Osar Thomson are twin brothers. Both entered the NBA through the draft in 2023. Amen was selected by the Rockets with the fourth pick and Osar was selected by the Pistons with the fifth pick.

Recently, the brothers participated in a podcast program and talked about an interesting thing in childhood. Osar said: "When we were young, we liked basketball, but height was the biggest limitation. At that time, we always wanted to surpass our parents' height. Dad was about 1.8 meters and mom was about 1.68 meters. Then we did a very interesting thing, which was the number 69 on the bed, which was our ideal height. But now looking back, I think something is Strange. "

The host asked: "Why is it 69? Not 68 or 610? Is there any meaning behind this number?"

Amen replied: "Because at that time we saw LeBron playing, his height was 6-9. We thought at the time, it would be great if he could grow to that height."

James was 2.06 meters tall, but he played as a small forward, while Amen and Osal are now playing as defenders. So what are the heights of these two people?

According to physical test data entering the league, Amen Thompson and Osar Thompson are twin brothers, both of whom are 201cm tall and 213cm wingspan. However, the weight is a little different. Amen weighs about 90-95kg, while Osar weighs between 93-99kg. So, it's still a little different from James' height.

The two have made great progress in their respective teams last year, especially Amen, who is already one of the core players in the Rockets. He has performed very well on both offense and defense. Even fans and media have always put him in the best defensive player for discussion.

Amen played 69 games with the Rockets last season, starting in 42 games, averaging 32.3 points per game, scoring 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks, shooting percentage of 55.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 27.5%. From the data, you can see that he is really a very comprehensive player. At present, only three-point shooting is a bit weak, but not at all. If he can really stabilize his three-point shooting percentage at around 35%, it would be really terrible.

The Rockets are now cultivating his ability to control and combine dribbling, which is being cultivated towards the defender.

Osal also rose quickly in the Pistons. He played 59 games last season, starting in 48 of them, averaging 22.5 minutes per game, scoring 10.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks. His shooting percentage was 53.5% and his three-point shooting percentage was 22.4%. The weak ring between the two brothers and the weak ring was shooting. The advantages are the same, they are good in good health, have sufficient explosive power, and have good defense. At present, Osar has also gained a firm foothold in the Pistons and will definitely play as the starting player in the future.

The two brothers Amen will definitely have a better prospect. The Rockets will definitely renew his contract with him at the time of the maximum salary, and there will be relatively more resources. The core of the Pistons' decision is Cunningham, and Osal is more like a very promising 3D player, it depends on whether he can grow bigger in the future.

At the end of the show, Amen said: "That number has been left on the bed until this year - because that bed has been processed now. If someone accidentally found it, I still have a small bed board here."

I hope both brothers can achieve some achievements in the NBA! It would be even better if I could play in a team at that time, but it would probably be a bit difficult, it depends on whether the Rockets can operate...
