Russell Westbrook was part of the Nike family for his first four NBA seasons, but was a sneaker brand “free agent” this summer. After a brief flirtation with Adidas, it was announced Thursday that he has joined the Jordan Brand team in a multi-year endorsement deal — an internal promotion of sorts up the Nike ladder. Congrats!
Check out what he tweeted and what MJ had to say about the deal:
From MJ:

We love the drive and passion for basketball that Russell brings.”
