In a video doing the rounds on social media, a proud Isaac Okoro is seen surprising his parents with a slick, brand new, Range Rover. There's plenty to enjoy in the video with the jubilation, screaming and cheering from almost everyone in the frame. However, one of the best parts is when Okoro informs his father that the Range Rover is actually for them and not himself.
Isaac Okoro's mother soon enters the frame as well and embraces her son. Although it wasn't entirely clear which model the Range Rover was, it is believed that the Cavaliers star spent at least $37,800 on the same. Fans on social media were left emotional with Okoro's gesture towards his parents.

Okoro played one season with the Auburn University Tigers and racked up a few individual awards, mostly for his defensive performances. The Cavaliers finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference last season and second to last in defensive ratings. Head coach J. B. Bickerstaff has seemingly identified Okoro as a potential candidate to solve his defensive woes but it remains to be seen whether he is able to live up to the hype of the draft.
