Knicks forward Obi Toppin won the 2022 AT&T Slam Dunk at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, besting Warriors big Juan Toscano-Anderson on State Farm All-Star Saturday Night.
Cole Anthony opened the contest with an NYC special, dunking in a pair of workboots. He was followed by Toscano-Anderson, who dropped in a towering windmill over teammate Andrew Wiggins. Toppin went around the back while clearing his assistant. Jalen Green, after several attempts to throw down a between-the-legs jam off the side of the backboard, took a lob to windmill a jam even with the rim.
Green opened the second attempts with a reverse 360 between the legs, before Anthony went off the bounce and missed three tries at a 360 one-handed throwdown. Toscano-Anderson also went for the reverse 360 windmill as he was passing under the rim. Toppin closed out the opening round with an off-the-glass, between-the-legs, two-handed double-pump reverse.
