Welcome to the BAE Index. 

Wade says no to Jones

Dwyane Wade has had a very, very good career. As his career begins to wind down, we aren’t expecting him to make some of the highlight reel plays he made when he was younger, like ending Anderson Varejao. But, Wade can still get those old legs up sometimes, like he did when he swatted Terrence Jones.

Everything that happens here is hilarious. I don’t know where to start… Maybe Marcus Smart acting like he got shot by an elephant gun? Or maybe Carmelo Anthony’s extremely poor attempt that ensued? You know what, I’m just going to keep crying because I’m laughing so hard at this entire thing.

Things have been really bad for the Phoenix Suns this year. They got worse on Tuesday with the news T.J. Warren would miss the rest of the year with a broken foot. Markieff Morris has had a rough go of things, but with Earl Watson now running the show, it appears it’s going to get better. Oh, and it helps when you yam on someone like Morris did on Tuesday.

Talking is hard for Mike Rice

Now, this is very funny. But, at the same time, you’re an NBA broadcaster… They give you pronunciation lists for people who have tough names, like Giannis Antetokounmpo… Mike Rice, you didn’t even try here, man. You can do better than that.

We here at the Friendly Bounce don’t promote violence. We promote good, fun basketball things. Sometimes that just happens when you dunk on your younger brother, like Miles Plumlee did to Mason. I, for one, am all for dunking on your brother. Do this more, brothers.
