NBA players and brothers Ausar and Amen Thompson made waves about the national team they are considering representing at international competitions.

Their father is Jamaican and the twin brothers already began the citizenship process that they need to potentially play for the nation if they follow through, according to Daniel Blake of the Jamaica Observer. “Ever since I was a kid, you know, I used to watch the Olympics and see Usain Bolt, [Yohan] Blake. And I always was like, you know, Jamaica always represents gold— and it’s always been like a dream. I always wanted to see a basketball team. I always wanted to picture basketball players with a Jamaica jersey on. And I’ve always wanted to wear one too,” Amen said.
