Amen Thompson: James is my favorite player and it s crazy to be compared with him
11:38am, 7 October 2025【Basketball】

October 7th News Recently, Rockets player Amen Thompson accepted an exclusive interview with NBA reporter Brandon Robinson.
During the draft, experts often boldly compare him to a young and smaller LeBron James, which fully illustrates his explosive potential. For Thompson, who has always admired the four-time champion, the comparison is both unexpected and incredible.
"LeBron is my favorite player in my life, so this comparison is crazy because I didn't deliberately imitate his game style; maybe it just came up naturally," Thompson admitted. "But I can understand this statement, a young and smaller LeBron. I know he is now 6 feet 9 inches tall."
When asked about preferring to score first or pass first, Amen Thompson gave a subtle answer, revealing his instinctive style of playing.
"I prefer to score. Score first, but I feel like my pass response is very fast. So I don't say I'm a score first or pass first. I'll say I'm a player who decides based on the reaction," Thompson said.
