Russell Westbrook Signs Extension with Oklahoma City Thunder
Richard Rowe-US PRESSWIRE

All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook signed a five-year, $80 million contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

This is great news for the Thunder as they still have Kevin Durant signed for at least another four seasons. With both of these All-Stars locked down, matched with other talented players, look for Oklahoma City to make a serious run at the title in the next few years.

The Thunder have the best record in the Western Conference (12-3) and are one game behind the Chicago Bulls for the best record in the NBA.

Westbrook is ranked 12th in the league in points per game with 20.5 while he is also averaging 5.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists. Durant is third in the NBA with 26.5 points per game. Oklahoma City leads the league hitting 81.2% of their free throws.
