Russell Westbrook is having a very good year. First, he became the second player ever—and first since Oscar Robertson in 1962—to average a triple-double for the season. Then he was named the NBA’s 2016-17 MVP. Then he released a book, Russell Westbrook: Style Drivers. (Full disclosure, I contributed to the book.) And now, according to the sources of ESPN’s Nick DePaula, the OKC star has signed on for a 10-year contract extension with Jordan Brand that’ll take him into the 2025-26 season and prove be the company’s biggest total endorsement deal with an athlete to date. It’s big news for Westbrook, of course, but also for fans. That’s because the new contract includes on-court signature sneakers, a first for the 28-year-old, despite his two off-court models, the Westbrook 0.1 and 0.2. So, what will the new Westbrook signature game shoe look like? Only time will tell. But considering his current hot streak, we’ve got very high hopes.-BY JONATHAN EVANS
