Amen Thompson on the Rockets Season and Next Year
“We didn’t make playoffs last year. This year we’re the 2 seed, going against hall of famers, and came close. Next year we’ll all have playoff experience. We’ll all have been here. We’re young. We can build off that.”

People act like kindness means being some eternally smiling, conflict-avoiding, soft-spoken saint, but that’s not real. Real kindness isn’t about never losing your temper, never having a bad day, never snapping— it’s about what you do afterward.
It’s about accountability. About realizing, “Damn, I was kinda harsh there,” and actually caring enough to make it right. It’s knowing that being a good person doesn’t mean being perfect, it means choosing growth over ego, compassion over pride.
Because kindness isn’t a performance. It’s not just for when it’s easy or convenient. It’s about who you are when things aren’t pretty— when you’re stressed, drained, impatient. That’s where true kindness lives.
