Player Profile
When Amen Thompson steps onto the court, he carries far more than a Houston Rockets jersey: he embodies a dream shared with his twin brother Ausar, born one minute after him on January 30, 2003, in San Leandro. Their parents Maya Wilson and Troy Thompson chose to give them the same middle name, "XLNC" — pronounced "excellence" — as a foreshadowing of their shared destiny.
The Thompson twins' story begins with a bold bet by their father Troy. Convinced of his sons' potential, he decided to homeschool them in sixth and seventh grade to dedicate himself entirely to their basketball development. This unconventional approach paid off: the family moved to Florida so the twins could enroll at Pine Crest School, where their talent burst into the spotlight.
Amen grew up idolizing LeBron James, nurturing alongside Ausar the dream of one day playing together on NBA courts. Their meteoric rise took them all the way to Stephen Curry's elite camp, the ultimate recognition of their status as nationally ranked prospects. Basketball runs in their blood: their older brother Troy Jr. played at the college level, while their uncle Mark Thompson represented Jamaica in the Olympic hurdles, a testament to their father's athletic heritage.
But Amen already looks beyond the court. His entrepreneurial ambitions — including a plan to launch his own shoe brand — reveal a young man methodically building his empire. In Houston, he is now writing his own story, proudly bearing a name that rings like a promise fulfilled.
