Amen Thompson talks about his game saving block
You blocked towards the end of the game um I was just trying to help Aaron out cuz I knew what I knew what um sex was going to do so I was like just trying to make a game wi to play the reaction from your teammates after that what was that
Like seeing on received you you mean just pushing me around the whole time on my way trying to get back that was fun you know having teammates like that they going to lift me up so yeah you said you knew what sex was going to do was that
Something y’all went over in practice or something you saw watching film no he saw when I was guarding him before he had just did it to me Tred to bulldoze me so I was like he’s gonna try to do it there too coach Oka said it’s good for
You young guys to kind of learn to win ugly do you feel like you’re learning how to win in different ways in the NBA yeah I mean you know mistakes we make they um they mean more now and um he may don’t just let you go play just play
Messing up the whole time he’s going to make sure you know you’re messing up so it just teaches you how to win but you say he’s going to make sure like what is he like as a coach has it been kind of a shock in the NBA or or what has he been
Like no it’s not been a shock he’s just like you know he’s a winner he wants to win so he’s going to put guys in there who he think is going to help him win what does it mean to you to have coaches confidence to have you in late in the
Game and regulation then of course in overtime you have that big block yeah it means a lot to me I want to be out there as much as I can and um fact that coach is trusting me be out there n lie you and cam getting a lot of minutes late in
The game what does that say about choka’s confidence in the young guys um he I think he just sees that we’re um evolving as players getting better and um doing the intangibles me both me and cam both so hopefully that keeps going you know how do you see kind of your
Progression fitting in with the identity that this team has formed so far yeah I mean just playing my game being a guy that could get to the rim facilitate defend rebound so just being a guy that can do it all thank you you

Amen is good!
He will be a very solid player
Keep Locking in on Defense and develop good habits on Offense. Amen has shown he can play at important moments in a game at a high level, Keep Growing Amen
I like this kid.
Ime coaches way too hard & with way too much ego. It feels like he doesn’t let kids make mistakes at all. These kids don’t play free because they’re worried about being taken out the entire time. Ime has never been a builder of teams. He’s been a guy who took a very talented team projecting up, to the finals. I think he needs to check his ego a little more and understand that these kids are in development. It isn’t about ime at all.. “I’ve never not won so I don’t plan on not winning now”
Just get the team better bro. Let those kids play their games and guide them, don’t make them fear being taken out
Amen has a knack for reading the floor, he is already above average defender and dribble is coming along after getting more comfortable being out there. Team just gotta have back up play when gets wide open 3 so they can make some play out of it
Sounding like batman
