Dez Bryant = Oklahoma City Thunder Guard, Russell Westbrook

Of the comparisons made in this article, this was the easiest.

Dez Bryant is an emotionally charged, high-flying, entertaining, freakishly athletic player capable of making highlight real plays at any moment.

Just like Russell Westbrook, who is the most explosive player in the NBA, also known for his ferocity and will.

Both players don’t mind talking trash with their rivals, are the heartbeat of their team, and enjoy celebrating with their teammates.

They’ve suffered ugly leg injuries, but have come back strong and are among the best at their positions.

When they are on their game, no defender can stop them one on one, which causes nightmares for opposing coaches.
