Russell dribbles West

by September 30th, 2017

Reigning NBA MVP Russell Westbrook has signed a contract extension to stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Terms were not disclosed but there are reports that the extension was worth $205 million.

The contract begins with the 2018-19 season, running through the 2022-23 campaign, and gives Westbrook the biggest guaranteed contract in the NBA.

There had been speculation about Westbrook’s future with the thunder given the movement of players throughout the league.

the 28-year-old Westbrook averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists and set an NBA record with 42 triple-doubles last season.

He joined hall of famer Oscar Robertson (1962) as the only players to average a triple-double over an entire season.

The six-time all-star also won his second scoring crown.
