There's thunder and there's lightning. There's force and there's grace. There's Russell Westbrook and there's Kevin Durant.

The pair of Oklahoma City Thunder teammates put their contrasting dunking styles on display against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Which you prefer likely says a lot about you as a basketball fan.

On the other, there's Durant's methodical, hypnotic set-up and elegant glide to the rim, complete with a hard flush just to make sure his poise isn't mistaken for tedious delicacy:

It's fun to be a Thunder fan.
