September 29th will forever be a memorable day for Russell Westbrook because Friday, he signed a five-year extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The contract is the largest in NBA history and that's one of the reasons why this day will be a memorable one going forward for the reigning MVP.
Oddly enough, September 29th also happens to be Kevin Durant's birthday. Go figure, right?The five largest contracts in NBA history have been signed this offseason. https://t.co/2867RrOjFP pic.twitter.com/0Rpu4tMCPm

If Westbrook waited until Durant's birthday to sign his extension with OKC the only thing better would be skywriting it over KD's house
