Alas, Obi Toppin’s most impressive move as a rookie didn’t come while playing a game for the Knicks.
The highlight of Toppin’s first year in the league came at halftime of the All-Star Game when he executed a perfect windmill dunk over Julius Randle and his father, Obadiah Toppin. The dunk was an impressive fan-pleaser, even though it didn’t win the contest.
Knicks fans would love to see some equally spectacular move during the course of the regular season, but Toppin hasn’t gotten that much of a chance given that he is playing behind Randle, who is having his best season as a pro.
