I know it's way too early but the way Amen and Jalen mesh reminds me a lot of Jordan and Pippen. To me, there can never be another Jordan, Magic, Hakeem, etc. But the way these two players feed off one another is amazing. I said months ago, that we would see the REAL Jalen when Ime do these two things; 1) Put the ball in Jalen's hands to keep him more engaged in the offense. FVV was constantly feeding Sengun in the PNR, which worked but it was a 90's brand of basketball and it was effecting Jalen. Jalen was standing in the corners waiting on his opportunities. Thus, being INCONSISTENT. 2) Get Jalen a RUNNING MATE. Let's face it, FVV is not going to push pace. And I have been saying this for a minute, a Jalen, Amen back court would be insane!! WE DO NOT NEED D'ARON FOX. Sure you're going to take your lumps with turnovers initially because they are both so young but the payoff is going to be INCREDIBLE. AND LASTLY!! RAFEAL STONE AND TILLMAN HAD BETTER GET THE CHECK BOOK READY, BECAUSE IN 2YRS, ITS GOING TO TAKE THE MOON TO KEEP JG.
Lets...not get carried away And this is coming from me, literally the most irrational Rockets fan I know
Jordan being goat means the MJ part is unattainable especially given Green doesn't have the hand size and strength of Jordan. But Amen becoming a Pippen level player is definitely reasonable high end comp Pippen and Amen have a lot of similarities.
Jalen = Jordan Amen = Pippen Sengun = Jokic Tari = Kawhi Jabari = Bosh Reed = Nash Cam = Carmelo If they don’t win 7 of the next 10 championships,…
I think if you read the whole thread, I admit there is never going to be another Jordan. However, I'm alluding to more of their play; an elite scoring threat and a player who is an elite defender who can do it all. So, ARE THEY Jordan and Pippen, NO! But similar in their paring, YES!
I actually thought from the very start that Green looks similar to jordan in aesthetics, it is one of the better comparisons for Green IMO. Amen is on his own class though, no comparison. I was rather pointing at the timing of the thread, not the content. Anyway time to celebrate, everybody has their own ways.
If you worded it another way, yes, Jordan had a plethora of mini spawns. I see Jordan in Green, I see Jordan in Ant Edwards, I see Jordan in Shai Gilgeous Alexander, I saw a lot of Jordan in Kobe Bean Bryant. Kobe was one of the onlys that mimicked Jordan to his every little move including sticking out his tongue in an evil manner.
