Was just looking up the stats for the Thompson twins since I think they're both going to make a splash in the NBA over the next few years.

Turns out Amen (6'7 / 201cm) is taller than his IDENTICAL twin brother Ausar (6'6 / 198cm).

I didn't even think this was possible since they have the same genetics and presumably had the same health and diet growing up.

Yeah, it can happen. It's nature vs nurture, both within the womb and the early stages outside of the womb, that can impact differences in height between identical twins.

Ausar may have a little more weight now but Amen has a little bigger frame too. He's gonna end up the bigger guy which was something that also led to he being viewed slightly more highly than Ausar.
