Welcome to the BAE Index.

Dunk you very much

Don’t tell Aaron Gordan that the dunk contest is over. Seriously, don’t. It’ll ruin the fun for all of us. The Orlando Magic rookie broke out a windmill dunk in an actual NBA game (okay, he was playing the Lakers). And it wasn’t one of those uncontested fast break layups with no one within 30 feet of him. There were two Lakers right near him, but that didn’t stop him.

I REPEAT AARON GORDON DID THAT IN REAL LIFE WATCH IT AGAIN SNITCHES

LaMarcus Aldridge isn’t known for his dunks or, really, much outside of dominating triple threat position at the elbow. But he broke out of his comfort zone to show up Timberwolves rookie Karl Anthony-Towns.

Nasty

What did you do with the Spurs? Who are these guys? Jonathan Simmons dunked so hard he nearly knocked himself over.
