Russell Westbrook just signed the biggest contract in the history of the NBA. The Oklahoma City Thunder star player will get paid $205 Million over the next 5 years. There has never been more guaranteed money going to one player in the league before. Westbrook won the MVP last year and averaged a triple double and this is only part of his handsome reward.
Westbrook’s other reward for staying with the Oklahoma City Thunder is his two new teammates. NBA All-Stars and USA Olympians, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, are now part of the Thunder Big 3. With Westbrook at the point and each of these guys on his wings, the Thunder will have one of the most potent offenses in the NBA. Can they give the Golden State Warriors a run in the Western Conference? I can't wait to find out! Cheers!
So does this mean the new Big 3 will stay together next season?
I hope so!
The best part about this signing is today is Kevin Durant's Birthday. Knowing Russ this was on purpose. The next 6 year total is $233 M.
I hope they win it all this year. He works hard and has the team now to make a run for it.
I love Russ. He is a beast. Better than Lebron in my opinion.
This year he will be!
Savage move hahaha. I love it.
a huge player
I just posted a video about this too! This deal is amazing. Russ is special person for sticking with a small-town market like OKC. It makes me a bigger fan of him. If he can bring in OKC's first ever title, he will be an absolute legend.
Pay that man!!
