They don't gather or build up to doing peak athlete shyt. It'll just be light jog or something and they in the air while everyone else still trying to get their feet right.

It’s jaw dropping

Actually surprised there’s not crazy YouTube highlights of some of shyt they do

Just crazy shyt like putbacks, catching lobs, soaring over 7 footers for rebounds. It’s not flashy at all though so maybe that’s why

Better athletes than Ja, Zion (he trash but he’s athletic as fukk), Shaeden Sharpe or Ant?
Ant's strong as fukk on top of everything else so there's that. Ja is up there too. Sharpe and those guys are where the difference is imo

Being a defender you can't just wind up and decide to do x/y/z the way they do. There's times Ausar and Amen are *clearly* beat by any standard definition but will just make a play that shouldn't be made period. Or deny a play that should be free.

Its like watching those generational shortstops just do easy shyt that shouldn't happen at all. Or watching Ed Reed run the wrong way just to make a QB think someone is open then come back and snatch that shyt. They just need more TV time fr.

I was at the game. It's different watching Ausur live. He's a special athlete that I compare to Iguadola. Just gotta get that jumper

that is NOT supposed to look so fukking effortless man geeez
Right! When he was on the floor the difference in the defensive rotations was so evident. Even the Hawks announcers were like "It's like they have 7 guys on the floor on defense!" His awareness and recovery speed is crazy. And again, he's just gliding on the court so that shyt looks effortless.

Amen has offensive upside despite having no jump shot. Like superstar caliber, puts a ton of pressure on the rim. Not afraid to score unlike Ben Simmons
