Isaac Okoro will forever be the answer to a trivia question as the subject of Adrian Wojnarowski’s final report as ESPN’s senior NBA insider, and the Cleveland Cavaliers forward had some fun with that ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
As ESPN’s Nick DePaula shared, Okoro paid homage to “The Final Woj Bomb” with his HOLO PEs:

On Sept. 14, Wojnarowski reported the Cavaliers and Okoro agreed to a new three-year, $38 million deal. Shortly after that, he announced his retirement as ESPN’s NBA insider to become the new general manager for the basketball program at St. Bonaventure, his alma mater:

That announcement drew an amusing reaction from Okoro:

Last Woj Bomb 🤷🏾♂️ #LetEmKnow
ESPN agreed to make Shams Charania its new senior NBA insider following Wojnarowski’s retirement.
Things have also worked out nicely for the Cavaliers and Okoro in the early going of the 2024-25 campaign, as they are off to a 12-0 start and sit atop the Eastern Conference standings. He is averaging 5.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists as a secondary player in their rotation.
If he ends up playing a key role in a deep playoff run, it will be a Woj Bomb to remember.
