Signed a 12-year extension at 25 years old for the exact same dollar amount as his previous contract. Happily leaving millions on the table while committing his entire career to one organization. Has never once held out, asked to be traded, tried to renegotiate, got drunk and punched out a cabbie, etc etc.
33 years old with an 8.7M cap hit for 4 more seasons, and is still considered an absolute steal at that price. Mind-blowing, to say the least.
