Ehe ‘current’ king of NBA slam dunks wants to show that that infamous slam dunk contest at All-Star Weekend only warned of his potential despite the fact that on that occasion he didn’t show it. Obi Toppin, an outside player for the New York Knicks, has spectacular physical conditions in front of the hoop that he showed with one of the ‘barbarities’ of the year despite being in the preseason. An unmissable graphic document.
Toppin ‘steals’ the ball in his own half on the Pacers attack and runs the counter unopposed. Instead of ‘dunking’ the ball, make a tremendous effort. He jumps, he passes the ball under his legs and it’s over. A ‘contest mate’ in the middle of the game. Preseason, to make matters worse, a place where these exhibitions do not usually exist.
Thus, in addition to a good margin for improvement, he earns the position of best matador in the NBA. In the last Mates Contest, mentioned above, he was the only player to take a 10 by jumping to a helper and passing the ball behind his back. To this he added another with a ball to the board, passing it under the legs and crushing from behind. Of course, there he erred in the ending.
And his party was not far behind. In 20 minutes, he had 24 points and three rebounds. With several triples. Madison Square Garden, in need of references, sang ‘Obi, Obi’. It is the preseason, it should be remembered, but his team is looking to raise the level. For example, his star in the last market, Jalen Brunson, had 17 points in 23 minutes.
