Houston Rockets rookie guard Amen Thompson enters the NBA touted as one of the most athletic players active in the game today. But what does that even mean? How can we measure such an assertion? Perhaps the clip below will help clear things up.
Video resurfaced on Twitter on Monday morning featuring a workout from Thompson during his time with Overtime Elite, the budding basketball league and development system he joined in May 2021. The clip in question shows Thompson leaping from the free-throw line and successfully completing the dunk, with the slow motion capture making Thompson look almost as if he's walking on air.
