Houston Rockets second-year forward Amen Thompson was selected for the NBA’s Rising Stars Challenge on Tuesday, an unsurprising development for the 21-year-old who has become a league-wide sensation.

Being compared to an NBA Finals MVP is quite the compliment, and then some. Thompson is only in his second season and is solidifying himself as a key contributor on a young Rockets team. With players like Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun on the roster, Thompson might not get the love he deserves.

Thompson had pulled the Rockets ahead at 112-110 with an easy dunk before Jayson Tatum tied the game again with 5.3 seconds left on the clock
