Jalen Williams agrees to 5-year max rookie contract extension with Thunder, deal could reach $287 million
After this past season, Jalen Williams is a household name. The first-time All-Star and NBA champion has the contract extension to show for it now. Williams agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could reach $287 million with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Advertisement The 24-year-old, two-way wing is coming off a breakout season, in which he averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game for a 68-win Thunder squad that won it all. Williams further established himself as Oklahoma City's No. 2 option behind this year's league MVP, scoring champ and Finals MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. As Williams made his mark on the Thunder's championship run, Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen remarked that he sees a lot of himself in the league's newest sidekick sensation. Like Pippen, Williams was an unheralded high school prospect who came into his own at a mid-major while growing, both figuratively and literally, into a first-round NBA Draft selection. Pippen and Michael Jordan won six championships with the Bulls in the '90s. Williams and Gilgeous-Alexander, along with 23-year-old center Chet Holmgren, have a runway to create their own dynasty in Oklahoma City. Advertisement Gilgeous-Alexander is the headliner, but the Thunder's youthful roster is comprised of a collection of players who have bought into their roles, including Williams. "It's very easy when you have a team that likes to do their role," Williams said earlier this month, via ESPN. "And I'm not saying that guys can't branch out, but just when everybody kind of accepts that role for the better of their team ... I know mine. "When you just have guys that are willing to do that, it allows everybody to grow and get better." The Thunder took the now-6-foot-6 Williams with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 draft, just 10 picks after they grabbed Holmgren. Advertisement Williams was runner-up for NBA Rookie of the Year in 2023, finishing second to Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero. The Santa Clara product has upped his scoring average each season of his young, three-year NBA career. Williams already has two seasons with at least 100 3s and is a 38.2% career 3-point shooter. Also a member of the 2025 NBA All-Defensive Second Team, Williams has averaged at least 1.1 steals per game all three seasons since he was drafted. His length and active hands played a big part in the Thunder finishing the 2024-25 regular season with, by far, the league's best defensive rating (106.6). Williams' career-high 1.61 steals per game were the seventh most of any player this past season — and Oklahoma City, as a whole, tallied 10.2 steals per 100 possessions, the highest rate for any team in the last 12 seasons. Advertisement Williams has maintained his playmaking skills that he fostered when he was shorter, allowing him to run point for the Thunder in pivotal situations. But his creative, three-level shotmaking ability stole the show during the postseason. During the Thunder's 23-game march to NBA supremacy, Willams averaged 21.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists, plus 1.4 steals, per game. While he shot only 30.4% from deep in the playoffs, he had 12 games with at least two 3s, including a 34-point clinic in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals when he made 6 of 9 from long range against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Williams topped that scoring performance in the NBA Finals. He went for a team-high 40 points in a series-tilting Game 5 win over the Indiana Pacers. A rising all-around star with a ring, Williams is now equipped with a well-earned max extension.

Larsa Pippen just threw a big birthday party in Miami Beach. Who got the invite?
Larsa Pippen double-dipped in style Thursday night. The 'Real Housewives of Miami' star celebrated both the July 4 holiday and her 51st birthday at ORO restaurant in Miami Beach. Pippen, whose actual b-day was on Sunday, brought newish, younger boyfriend Jeff Coby, 31, as her hot date. Among the pictures shared on social media, only two of her current costars, Kiki Barth and Stephanie Shojaee, were on hand. It's unclear why the other ladies didn't attend the bash at the Lincoln Road hot spot, although we do know of one who likely wasn't invited — Lisa Hochstein. As seen in the first episode of season 7, the two divorcees got into a bit of a nasty tiff. Recap: Pippen was bothered that Hochstein and her boyfriend Jody Glidden still followed her ex-bf Marcus Jordan on Instagram. At Glidden's drama-filled birthday party, Hochstein shrugged it off, accusing Pippen of faking the breakup, and things escalated quickly. Though filming of the episode was completed months ago, an insider told the Miami Herald that the two women are still not getting along. So it's not a huge surprise to not see Hochstein there. As for the rest of the women, maybe they don't want to show their allegiance to either. At least one RHOM castmate is speaking out, and picking sides (sort of). 'I completely understand where Pippen is coming from,' Barth said on Page Six's 'Virtual Reali-tea' show late last month. The Haitian model went on to say she thinks it's inappropriate to follow friends' exes on social media when the relationship ended badly (which it did). Barth added that Glidden, as a man, 'can do whatever he wants to do.' As for Hochstein, she told People magazine she believes Pippen behaved insensitively while she was back home in Canada at her father's wake last fall. Roger MacCallum died in October. 'It was so bad,' the mother of two said. 'Larsa was fighting with me and sending text messages back and forth [regarding Marcus]. I was like, 'What are you doing?' Like, 'Please stop.'' Sigh, can't we all just get along? Paging peacekeeper Andy Cohen...

"It was a selfish decision, but it was who Michael Jordan was" - Scottie Pippen slammed MJ's decision to leave the NBA for baseball
"It was a selfish decision, but it was who Michael Jordan was" - Scottie Pippen slammed MJ's decision to leave the NBA for baseball originally appeared on Basketball Network. Michael Jordan's retirement in 1993 came as a shock to many. Advertisement At just 30 years old and at the peak of his dominance, the man who had just led the Chicago Bulls to a third consecutive championship stunned the sports world by walking away from basketball. The news broke less than three months after the murder of his father and the official reason was framed as burnout and a desire to fulfill his father's dream of seeing him play professional baseball. For most fans, the move was seen as a personal detour. Jordan's selfishness For Jordan's ex-teammate Scottie Pippen, it represented something else entirely. More than 30 years later, he still carries that moment with a sharp edge, calling Jordan out for his decision to retire. Advertisement "It was a big decision, but it was a selfish decision," Pippen said. "But it was who Michael Jordan was, and that was a guy who believed he can do anything on his own." That line stings because it reflects a tension that has never fully disappeared. In the 1993–94 season, the first without Jordan, Pippen shouldered the mantle of leadership and carried the Bulls to a 55–27 record, just two wins shy of their previous campaign. He was named All-Star Game MVP, finished third in league MVP voting and reminded everyone that he was far more than a sidekick. But despite the numbers and accolades, the shadow of Chicago's former apex predator never left the building. Pippen's comment now, after years of layered interviews, documentaries, and biographical rewrites, pierces through the nostalgia. Advertisement He wasn't just left with the burden of carrying the team; he was left to answer for someone else's exit. It became clear that Jordan's absence didn't only leave a vacuum in scoring but a disruption in chemistry, identity and championship continuity. Jordan left and the dynasty paused. Pippen stayed and the responsibility tripled. Scottie's 1993–94 season was the finest of his career — he averaged 22.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.9 steals per game. But the heartbreak of that season came in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals when he refused to enter the game for the final possession. The play had been drawn for Toni Kukoc. Pippen was the alpha all season long, but in that moment, he was reminded that hierarchy still haunted the locker room. The media blitzed him. The fans questioned him. And Jordan was nowhere near the court. Advertisement Related: Michael Jordan shows off his $115 million luxurious superyacht in Croatia Just teammates That remark hangs with weight. The Bulls of the 1990s were a machine that won six titles in eight years but left behind bruised egos and complex friendships. The Pippen and Jordan dynamic was never built on sentiment. It was built on competition, tension and a shared need to dominate. On the court, it worked. Off it, the mythology often skipped over the grit. Now, with time having sanded down some edges but not all, Pippen is less interested in sanitizing the past. "We were excellent teammates," he said. "We try to make more out of it sometimes [than] the way it truly was." Advertisement Jordan's baseball pursuit first with the Birmingham Barons, a Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, was anything but triumphant. He batted .202 with three home runs and 51 RBIs in 127 games. The stats revealed what many suspected: that greatness in one sport didn't automatically translate to another. When Jordan returned to the NBA in March 1995 with his iconic "I'm back" fax, it reignited the dynasty, but it didn't erase what had happened. The Bulls fell to the Orlando Magic in that year's playoffs, a reality check that even the greatest needed rhythm. By 1996, they were champions again, but the emotional ledger between Jordan and Pippen had already changed. Pippen's comments don't sound bitter as much as they sound unfinished. He's not revising history but is simply refusing to let it be packaged cleanly. For decades, Jordan has been canonized — and rightfully so. But in Pippen's eyes, the crown came with consequences.
