Obi Toppin

How can you defend someone who has eyes in the back of his head? Ask Obi Toppin – you can’t. After his New York Knicks come up with a steal in the defensive end, the third-year forward races up the floor in transition and catches a high-arcing outlet pass from Jalen Brunson. In the same moment the ball touches Toppin’s hands, he drops off a beauty of a no-look pass to a trailing RJ Barrett, who finishes the play with a wide open dunk. Toppin had 10 points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal in 14 productive minutes off the bench in New York’s 115-102 victory over the Orlando Magic on October 24, 2022.
