Smooth, but this is not the most athletic play I’ve seen. When I think athletic, I’m thinking sprinting down the court, beating everyone actively looking to play defense, and jumping out the gym. This is nice, and he has a lot of potential but this clips does not scream most athletic player in the league.
crazy how Amen is even more athletic than this, I remember a similar play with Amen where he outran the entire defense coast to coast similar to this, he’s quicker, jumps higher, and flashier too with his athleticism damn, these two are gonna be so good
I actually think its the other way around. Ausar looks like the better raw athlete, to me at least. Amen looks a little more fluid with the ball.
Yeah I think it’s simple.
They’re close as raw athletes, Amen’s fluidity and flexibility makes him better as a driver and more acrobatic.
Bro got those Greek god hermes shoes or some shit man just floated
I had to watch 5 times. Something glitched. Looked like a euro glide.
Took 5 steps between dribbles. These refs are bad.
That’s some old school Jordan type hang time, I will say I thought he was best athlete on that team though.
He’s floating
Dr. J vibes
I'm gonna have to see much more than some blocks and a coast to coast layup to declare him the best athlete in the league
I remember when people said his brother is a different caliber of athlete than him definitively…I’m not sure they really watched tape of him at OTE
Me before watching the video and seeing the headline: I think it’s still Giannis.
Me after watching the video: oh my god 😯
He puts in so much power with every step yet he does it with such touch that it looks like he floats then when he actually launches it comes from nowhere because it was there all along.
get that man in the dunk contest
The ball bounces essential 3 times TOTAL after he initially gathers it lol
Is he not carrying like crazy here? His hand goes fully under the ball like 3 times.
The dribble to start the break looks like a carry but the others don't look like carries to me, by today's standards anyway. He doesn't seem to kill the momentum or control the ball from below once he gets going.
oh my god it looks fake when he goes up for that layup. I literally said "fuckin shit!" and started laughing when i realized he jumped
World class bounce for sure but that defense was hilarious
Something about how he's hopping while dribbling straight ahead makes this look like a '70s Dr J highlight.
Exactly my thoughts
Absolute trash defense.
Reminds me of John wall a little especially that lil hop I see people saying Jordan which in no doubt is not a bad comparison lol mf flew
That highly resembled a Clyde Drexler transition layup
Excited to see Amen play
I mean no cos his brother was considered the better athlete lol.
I feel like he should play point and let Cade play off ball
Also, worst 3PT shooter in the league?
I’m so sad Ausar is being wasted on this team.
How did amen go before ausar in all the mocks? Ausar seems clearly better than his bro
Did Anthony Edwards die?
No one stopped the ball for an easy layup, not even an athletic play, he’s jogging
Pretty quick but that carry at mid court 😂
Keep in mind his brother is supposed to be the more athletic one too.
