Two 20-year-old identical twins made history when they were picked No. 4 and No. 5 in the NBA draft, becoming the first pair of brothers to go into the top five in the same draft since the 1976 NBA-ABA merger.
The twins appeared on the 3rd hour of"TODAY" on June 23 with their parents, Maya and Troy Thompson, and brother Troy Thompson, Jr.
The Pistons’ new addition wished for a rivalry with his twin brother after Savannah Sellers asked them aboutthey made as kids, on which they expressed their goal to play in the NBA. The twins shared what’s on their vision boards now. “I got to revise it,” Amen Thompson said. “Make a new one, dream board 2.0, I guess. I got to figure out what I got to put on it. I’m going to put it on my wall though. I’m going to do it again.”“I’m going to make one too: win a championship,” he declared. “Hopefully I get to play him. Maybe it’s a rivalry. Hopefully I get to beat him in the championship. It would only be right.”
Prior to the draft, the two played on the same team for Overtime Elite, a basketball league designed as another option to playing in college or overseas for those between the ages of 16 and 20. The brothers also regularly played on the same teams growing up in San Leandro, California. They attended high school at Pine Crest in Florida.
