I take $233 Million contract to play in Antarctica

If Westbrook wins just 1 ring, it will be leaps and bounds more important and special to basketball history rather than any ring KD wins with GSW. I don't hate them I just hate Durant went THERE. Oh well Russ is getting his

[ramborockyhitman]

I just signed a contract extension at work 40-year/$720.000

[eddiebitar]

Massive plus for Westbrook. He can get his money, be the superstar getting numbers, and be the superhero of the city showing loyalty to his team. No way he loses here. If they keep PG and Melo and add someone with adams: thunder could be future champs

Notice Max's didn't mentioned Cleveland

[lildagga]

I'm actually surprised loyalty is still a thing but than again it's Russ and I expect nothing less

[arealgoodguy]

So brave to sign a 200+ million dollar contract lol

[RASHAD]

Westbrook leaves his heart on the floor every single night, reminds me of Allen Iverson Warrior blood. That kind of stuff makes me appreciate basketball even more.

[LegionOfEclaires]

I look forward to seeing what OKC does this year. I think it will be an exciting season in general.

[caveloc]

Happy belated Snakeday.

4:04 Did Stephen A. Smith just say Golden Houston? 😂😂

[jruewiley]

Eventually the sports media will realize this isn't 1970 and playing in LA/NY doesn't matter, playing with your friends does. Stephen A said all 2 years ago Derozen was going to LA and so was Love Nope, stayed with his friend Lowry, stayed with his friend Lebron. The NBA players have said, since LeBron went to Miami, give me my friends to play with and I'll play anywhere. Westbrook was never going to LA no matter how bad the media wanted it to happen.

[Teech_]

i remember when a max contract was like 120 mill. I'd wait 2-3 more years then sign a max contract for 400mil. pffff

[CTKTomz]

Lmao "on Kevin Durants birthday"

[leoking]

It good he love his people and he love his team

[RASHAD]

So what Oklahoma a desirable Market. But Russell Westbrook gives big respect from me, he ain't go running like a coward like KD did.

[MrReece]

Kendrick Lamar said it best, "Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty.". Lol

[grantmartin]

Im glad OKC can hang with the larger organizations, them and even like GSW give hope to us fans of small ball clubs!

[kefkapalazzo]

Westbrook deserves more. All the superstars do

[rarzarbex]

Stephen A is on point, westbrook deserves every penny with all the effort he gives its a no brainer.
