Deron Williams hosted the first annual Dodge Barrage in NYC yesterday! All proceeds from the fun event went directly to benefit Williams’s Point of Hope Foundation. In attendance were many of Williams’ teammates, new and old, and included appearances by James Blake and Al Roker. Other than helping out a great cause, it was the perfect stage for Brooklyn’s starting point guard to tweet some genuine hilarity. Today, we give you our favorites. (Is it October yet?)
Tomorrow #DodgeBarrage is coming. No age limits. We even let Coach @RealJasonKidd play.

The best part about playing dodgeball is that you’re not playing soccer.

If you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball and live in New York City. #DodgeBarrage

Based on the way we're playing dodgeball, everyone should be scared this season. #Nets #DodgeBarrage

These players are hitting so hard NFL refs would be throwing flags all over the place. Looks like #dodgebarrage players are just tougher.

Dodgeball is like basketball except with way more awkward high fives.
