Dion Waiters serves up a “friendly bounce” to end the quarter

Dion Waiters has served up our third friendly bounce of the season in Game 4 of the series, between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks.

Every friendly bounce is just as good as the other, but some are just a little fancier. This one doesn’t have quite as many dramatics as Kawhi Leonard’s dagger, but it does just hang right on the back of the rim before rolling in. Oh, and he got the foul on top that giving it a little extra flair. This bounce is about as friendly as you can get when you think of what a friendly bounce truly is. Thanks to Jeff Siegel for the heads up.

Now some of you may have noticed that I said third and not second. Well, while we don’t have video of this one, George Hill had a friendly bounce himself during the early game between the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors. Friend of the site Eric Maroun informed us of a friendly bounce, however our basketball watching robots weren’t available at the time so we were unable to get video. We did however get some screenshots.

Here is Hill getting ready to attempt a floater. Now, because it’s a friendly bounce he’s obviously gonna hit rim. This one in particular will come up a little short.

Look at the height on that bounce, but of course since it’s friendly it’ll drop right in for two points. Thanks to Eric Maroun for the heads up, and if anybody can give us video or a gif we’d be most appreciative.
