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!
