OKC Thunder journal: Kevin Durant compares dunking Russell Westbrook to dodgeball

Ever heard a dunk compared to a game of dodgeball? That's how Kevin Durant feels about Russell Westbrook's ferocious slams.

He also fears for his teammate's safety at times.

"It's kinda like when you play dodgeball and hit someone in the face. You throw the ball so hard at someone's face and it's like...Boom,” said Durant when asked about Westbrook's dunks. “Sometimes I get a little nervous that he's gonna hurt his wrist at some point because he's throwing the ball in the rim so hard.”

Westbrook only had one dunk Wednesday in a 109-95 win over the Charlotte Hornets, but could have had more.
