ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Amen and Ausar Thompson, twin brothers and recently drafted NBA players, said they’ve never spent more than two days apart. The New York Times joined them on their last week together before heading to their new teams. The twins’ preparation for the NBA began more than a decade before the Houston Rockets chose Amen and the Detroit Pistons picked Ausar in the first round of the draft Thursday night. When they arrived in New York on Monday before the draft, they knew it could be their last chance to be together for a while. “The longest we’ve ever been apart is two days,” Ausar said. “I went to Florida last year, and he stayed in Atlanta. He called me like 30 times!” When the twins were 9 years old, they created a vision board to motivate them on their journey to the NBA. Their careers ramped up in 2021, when they were among the first players to sign with Overtime Elite, a semiprofessional basketball league based in Atlanta. Signing with the NBA became a daily obsession beginning last June when they attended an NBA draft party for their friend Josh Minott, who was selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the second round.
