The NBA’s most coveted free agent this offseason just signed his new contract with the Brooklyn Nets, almost an hour after players could do so, from his hotel room in Las Vegas.

Yes, Williams signed a five-year, $98.75 million contract, using an iPad, a free app (Sign Now) on his iPad.

Williams, who’s in Vegas for Team USA Basketball training prior to heading to London for the 2012 Summer Olympics, announced the signing via Twitter, posting a picture in the process:

Even though Deron Williams didn’t choose to sign with my hometown team, The Dallas Mavericks, and may not have signed with your favorite NBA team, I admire the method he used to sign his contract.
