Amen and Ausar Thompson and their titles as the “Thompson Twins” remind me of the characters from Tintin with similar names. However, whereas Thomson and Thompson stumble over each other, a skill that leads me to put them at the bottom of a Tintin basketball tier list, Amen and Ausar imitate another notable set of twins; they are both Skywalkers.
This piece will focus on Amen Thompson, the combo guard and big facilitator, whereas our guy Benny Hughes will have more on Ausar Thompson, the shooting guard/forward who loves to use his athleticism to score. That can be found on the site later this week.
