Obi Toppin

The game-by-game box scores painted Obi Toppin to be that of a model of consistency, as he used offensive versatility to collect double-digit scoring outputs in each of December’s first nine games. Perhaps, then, it was only right for Indiana’s pink-shoe-wearing highflyer to create a must-see picture himself, as he raced out in transition on December 13, 2024. Often too much for a defense to contend with by his lonesome, Toppin — offering first active hands to generate a steal — takes part in a three-on-one fastbreak platoon, quickly finding his hustle rewarded through an electrifying one-handed alley-oop flush. Sporting a 13-point early game lead after Toppin’s jam, the Indiana Pacers rode that subplot to victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, stringing together back-to-back road wins for 2024-25’s first time. Outstanding along the bench, Toppin starred with 20 points (on 7-of-11 shooting), eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two trifectas.
