Amen and Ausar Thompson are the first twins in NBA history to be drafted in the top five .
The brothers grew up in the Oakland , California , area with an ultra-competitive twin brother, Ausar .
The family's vision board was titled "Amen's 6'9 " Dreams" with a sneaker drawing of a star.

The 6 -foot-7 twins with wingspans of nearly 7 feet played two seasons with Overtime Elite .
