It is indisputable, in just two seasons in the Big League, Obi Toppin has quickly established himself as one of the most spectacular players in the NBA. Able to crush dunks at very high altitude, the interior of the Knicks has also progressed well since its selection in the Draft two years ago. A little ray of sunshine for a New York team coming out of a very filthy season.
Hello, in the big family of super-athletes in the NBA, we ask for Obi Toppin. Right out of Dayton, the inside is already categorized as a crazy dunker. Chosen in eighth position in the 2020 Draft, the interior had a timid start with the big boys, but the progress glimpsed last season nourishes hopes on the New York side. Hope, but also and above all excitement. Because if there is one area in which the kid does not disappoint, it is that of the show. With his 2m06, Toppin is a formidable showman, capable of fucking anyone on a poster. Last season, Obi One martyred circles repeatedly. Tomar with one or two hands, reception of alley-oop above the clock of 24 or even windmill and even rider in counter-attack, the guy has just a perfect panoply to make the show. More than once, his spectacular highlights have blown up an already boiling Madison Square Garden. We think in particular of this tomar XXL on Goga Bitadze which had made the MSG roar. It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so for the trouble, do not hesitate to relive not one but five minutes of the best actions of the strong winger. It is clearly worth the detour.
Putting on dunks is cool and it’s always a pleasure to see, but now Obi Toppin will have to prove that he can still take another step to become more than a showman for the Knicks, who will clearly want to redeem themselves next season .
