National Basketball Association champion Isaiah Joe is enjoying warmth of the Filipino fans during a meet-and-greet event at the NBA Store in Pasig City on Friday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard said visiting the Philippines is an experience he won't forget in a hurry.

"It's cool. I met a lot of nice people here and ate some good food. I never thought I would be here until I'm having the best time of my life here," Joe said.

The Thunder won the NBA title after beating the Indiana Pacers in a best-of-seven championship series.
