Jabari Parker officially returned from his torn ACL on Wednesday and promptly got back on the board with a foul line jumper.

LeBron James is like everybody else:

Just like everyone else in the world LeBron James hates sleeves on his jerseys. On Wednesday he decided to do something about that.

Blake Tried to Mozgov Someone and it Didn’t Work:

There are a lot of people in the NBA who seem Blake Griffin coming for dunks and get out-of-the-way. Festus Ezeli is not one of those people and on Wednesday night he became one of the first people to survive a Griffin destruction attempt.

C.J. McCollum has had a nice start to the season. There was the 24 point quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans during the Portland Trail Blazers season opening win to start things but he has been solid all year. That continued on Wednesday with a 27 point showing in a win over the Utah Jazz that included this impressive crossover.

John Wall is a Magician:

I’m a sucker for John Wall passing so this was always going to make the BAE Index. Considering Bradley Beal‘s game winner is going to get all the publicity from the contest, it deserves it. Timing, touch, anticipation, creativity, understanding of defenses; John Wall has it all and it shows every single time he steps on the floor.
