Welcome to the BAE index.

Paul George throws down

exclamation emoji /

After missing most of last season recovering from a broken leg, Paul George has returned in a big way this preseason for the Indiana Pacers. He wanted to just remind us he’s still the good dunking man, I think.

Giannis stuffs it home

shock emoji /

We here at the Friendly Bounce love Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis probably loves us as well. So, of course, when he threw down this monster put back slam against the Timberwolves, we were all over it.

Giannis says no

big hand /

I guess Giannis decided he just wanted to have the BAE Index to himself tonight. He just keeps on doing things, this time, swatting Shabazz Muhammad’s dunk attempt. Better luck next time, Bazz.

Giannis flies in for the jam

It was the night of Giannis. That’s all we can say. Oh, also, hat tip to Michael Carter-Williams for actually doing something right and nothing throwing a horrendous pass.

This emoji pretty much sums up the Bucks-Timberwolves game, as the two just gave us all of the highlights for all of eternity tonight. Zach LaVine saw what Giannis was doing and couldn’t be completely outdone, so he gave us this little gem. He is also the good dunking man.

I think this is their way of reminding everyone, especially the teams in the Western Conference, that they’re still a thing. You guys better keep an eye on these two back together and healthy. It’s gonna be lit all season in OKC.
