Welcome to the BAE Index.

Even computers don’t believe Richard Jefferson is still in the league.

To be fair, I still don’t believe that Jefferson is on a team this season, let alone a team that may compete for an NBA title. But he is so whoever created this box score should probably fix things. Even if this is a better name than Richard Jefferson.

Paul George looks healthy

Not that we had many doubts about it after his return at the end of last season but watching Paul George make this dunk look super casual was a nice sign to again prove that he is completely healthy.

(Also go away highlight truthers he caught the ball mid gather step then took two steps. That was perfectly legal.)

Basketball Shouldn’t Be This Easy, Steph. Volume 1,000:

Steph started showing off pre-game by taking some deeeep threes off of the dribble because he has to challenge himself somehow.

Then he decided that those threes weren’t hard enough so he took one from the hallway just to see if he was human. Turns out that he isn’t.

But Steph wanted to make sure that he didn’t use all of his impressive feats before the game so he saved this nifty ballhandling and pass sequence for the Rockets.

So yeah, Steph is already in midseason form.
