HOUSTON — Troy Thompson Sr. looked at the progress his twin sons, Amen and Ausar, had made on the basketball court during their middle school years. He knew their visions of playing in the NBA were on the right trajectory to become a reality.
Without hesitation, Thompson moved the family across the country — from San Leandro, California, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida — so his sons would not have to wait until their freshman year of high school to play varsity basketball.
