Sources: Russell Westbrook inks 10-year extension with Jordan Brand
Westbrook跟Jordan牌續簽10年約
Russell Westbrook, the NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player, will look to
continue to establish himself as one of the league's top global superstars,
inking a 10-year extension with Nike's Jordan Brand that will be the most
lucrative total endorsement deal for a Jordan athlete to date, according to
industry sources.
根據業界消息來源，Westbrook，2016-17的季賽MVP，將將會與Nike旗下Jordan brand簽下
10年的續約，這將會是Jordan brand有史以來最大的一筆代言合約。
After first signing on with the brand to an initial five-year endorsement
deal in 2013, Westbrook has been positioned as the face of the brand and the
annual Air Jordan model each subsequent season. During that stretch, he also
elevated his game on a year-by-year basis as the franchise point guard of the
Oklahoma City Thunder.
在2013年首次與Jordan brand簽下5年期代言合約，Westbrook很盡責的成為Jordan brand
的招牌，也是每年Air Jordan鞋發佈的model。此外，他也在球場上奮力表現，成為雷霆的
當家控衛。
The new shoe deal extension, negotiated by the Wasserman agency and
Westbrook's longtime agent, Thad Foucher, is in advance of the initial deal's
expiration next fall. The increased pay rate will also retroactively apply
toward his 2016-17 MVP season, according to sources. He wore Nike sneakers
during his first four years in the NBA, before the company aligned him with
Jordan, in order to have a dual-brand presence alongside Nike signature
athlete and then-teammate Kevin Durant.
舊合約明年才到期，但是新合約就已經簽了，根據消息來源，所以增加的代言費會回溯到
2016-2017年就生效。Westbrook在打NBA前四年就已經穿Nike的鞋子，之後Nike把
Westbrook分到Nike旗下的Jordan brand，這樣球場上Westbrook就可以跟當時的也是Nike
另一品牌隊友KD一起在場上。
This past season, the 6-foot-3 star not only led a retooled OKC roster to the
postseason after Durant's departure, but did so while averaging a
triple-double
