Welcome back to the Friendly Bounce Belt, our weekly power ranking of awesome moments. Last week, Rajon Rondo took home the belt for his tremendous stretch that included multiple triple-doubles. Let’s see who the champ is this week.
Honestly, it’s a little bit surprising that Kristaps Porzingis had to wait this long to get his hands on the Friendly Bounce Belt. But now that he has it, he might never let it go. King Kristaps showed us a little preview of how he’s going to be dominating the league for the next decade, putting up monster lines of 29-11 and 24-14-7 (blocks).
The Contenders
DeMar DeRozan banging on Rudy Gobert
I mean, sheesh, DeMar has a legitimate gripe that he didn’t win the belt for the whole season after this jam. But hey, it’s simply Kristaps. Sorry DeMar. Still, this was extremely dope.

Trevor Booker’s broom shot
Trevor Booker is no stranger to wild and crazy shots, and this was another classic. The little fist pump after it goes through is so great. God bless Trevor Booker.
