Obi Toppin gets his payback against the Knicks with a strong performance during the entire series
Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin had a series to remember against his former team, as he helped eliminate them in the Eastern Conference finals. A New York native, Toppin was selected by the Knicks as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and was seen as an understudy to Julius Randle.
Although a dream move at the time, Toppin was deemed surplus to requirements when entering his contract year in 2023 and shipped off to the Pacers for two future second-round picks.
This move, however, has come back to haunt the Knicks as the forward got his payback by putting up an impressive display this entire series.
He sealed Game 1 for the Pacers with a game-winning dunk at MSG and helped close the win in Game 4 with a dagger three. Furthermore, the star had another strong performance in Game 6 as the Pacers eliminated the Knicks with a 17-point win.
