Kenrich Williams reacts to Isaiah Joe’s epic Paolo Buncher poster


OKLAHOMA CITY — Amid Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe’s 22 points in a 128-92 win against the Orlando Magic, his dunk over the All-Star Paolo Banchero stole the show, according to Kenrich Williams. Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein recorded his first triple-double in Tuesday’s win. However, Joe’s left-handed dunk over Buncher sent fans into a frenzy at the Pike Center.

Williams’ grin stretched from ear to ear when the reporter mentioned Joe’s dunk through Bancher. “Let’s talk about it,” Kenrich said, before diving into what Joe has apparently turned into an annual event, Williams said, after Tuesday’s win.

“I told Isaiah, it seems like every year, once a year, he always catches a body,” Williams said. “It’s impressive for a guy his size because he sneaks up on you. It’s a sneaky bounce — I’m just happy he got the body, and it’s fun to watch him play.”

After Williams’ postgame press conference, Isaiah Joe said he should release at least one poster every season when it came time to be available to the media after a Thunder win. This year it was Magic All-Star Paolo Banchero on Joe’s poster.

“I joke with the guys all the time. I told them I get one chance a year,” Joe said. “If I’m lucky enough to get another one, it will be a record.”

Joe went 8-for-12 from the floor, including five 3-pointers and one steal. Shai Giljus-Alexander finished with 20 points, nine assists, five rebounds and two steals. Lou Dort added 18 points, five rebounds and two steals, and Chet Holmgren added 16 points and 10 rebounds.
