Apart from stardom and accolades, LeBron James has been predominantly known for one thing. And that is his insane athleticism. We can’t stress enough. The superstar’s vicious dunks and chase-down denials stand tall as proof. Despite this reputation, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has gone all the way to express his excitement for his potential successors. We make it clear. Successors in terms of his athleticism

It’s none other than the Thompson brothers. Ausar and Amen Thompson. We have seen plenty of brother duos in the league and it’s very rare when both of them attain the same popularity. For instance, Stephen and Seth are great shooters, but the Warriors guard had outshined his brother. However, in the case of the Thompson brothers, they have attained the same level of popularity for their athletic game.

Who else can validate it better than LeBron James? Despite losing at the hands of Amen Thompson’s Houston Rockets in a close 119-115 game, the superstar heaped praise for the brother. During the post-game interaction with the reporters, one of them asked about Amen Thompson’s flurry. He dropped 23 points with 16 rebounds. King James, without blinking, said, “I mean you’ve seen his brother. I think that was yesterday’s game or the day before yeah… Cunningham said it best, he said is they different they ain’t like the rest of us.” 

Ausar Thompson currently plays for the Detroit Pistons and he managed to trigger a similar reaction from his team’s centerpiece, Cade Cunningham, after their win over the Wolves. Moreover, James didn’t stop at that. He continued, “I’ve been able to do some things in my career. And, those two guys, man. They’re just pure athleticism. They could… They love the game and you love to see that.” It’s truly a compliment to cherish for the years to come.

Cade Cunningham recognized it before LeBron James

Firstly, it’s surprising to know that LeBron James kept track of everything happening in the league despite his packed schedule with the Lakers. And, of course, Cade Cunningham will have a surprising reaction to Ausar Thompson’s performance. The team defeated the lethal Timberwolves.

Even though the Wolves aren’t in the best of their form, they are still a tough team to beat. The Pistons, who had a season to forget in edition, have a fresh energy this season. They have produced a few surprising wins this season and one of them is against the Wolves. It wasn’t a close game but a blowout 119-105 win.

It was an all-around effort spearheaded by Cunningham’s 40-pointer. Ausar Thompson produced a two-way effort, recording 10 points and 1o rebounds. Speaking of his efforts, Cade said, “There’s some people that might be able to jump like him not like him but can jump high but he’s just athletic like all around like laterally run I mean he’s he’s a different dude he’s not like us for sure.” Most importantly, the Pistons faced the Lakers twice this season and won both of them. King James may have to pull up his socks. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
