You're exposing yourself posting that as an example of anything. He was falling before Jimmy even jumped for the board. Draymond was instantly calling out to apologize to Amen for the bump, and you can see his feet are wrapped up with Draymond in the replay too.

The one incident that I have a problem with is the one with Giannis, that was unnecessary, dangerous and seemingly unprovoked.

No one with any common sense thought this was intentional other than a small portion of warriors fans that were upset Butler got hurt. This is just watching in slow motion over and over and convincing yourself that he should've fallen differently than you think he should've. Just stick with your first few videos.


Since Amen has a smaller body of work, he gets the benefit of the doubt for now. There have been a number if incidents regarding him, and if they continue he'll start losing that benefit.

I'm a different poster than the guy who posted the 3 videos.

Here's one more. Amen is trending towards being a dirty player.



wait, what? he was off balance and pushed into butler


He was barely pushed and then when he saw he had a chance to deliver a foul to Butler he didn't try to stop his momentum. But he couldn't or didn't bother to properly evaluate the injury risk he was causing to Butler. Then Amen lay on the ground pretending that he was also shook up. Amen is someone who is perfectly willing to risk other player's health. I really doubt that a coach like Ime Udoka has any interest in helping Amen to control these dirty plays.


Delusional.

Hyper-violent? Come on now.

I have examples:

The Kleber one is nothing short of indefensible. I don’t care what anyone says. Indefensible.

This seems like far more than Grayson Allen ever did in the NBA, but people wouldn't let him hear the end of anything in his career.

Amen Thompson needs to humble himself, but it's unlikely when he was raised by a cringy man that named him Amen XCLNC

Because Grayson Allen is legitimately a dirty player dating back to his college days.

There's a big difference between getting into altercations and tangling up with opposing players and intentionally tripping guys in fast breaks.


Amen is a bully against weaker players.

Grayson is a straight up dirty player like Giannis or Embiid, where you know if you share the court with them, you might get tripped, uncutted or rolled up on.
