Obi Toppin: “Having to go through what I did in New York, I say thanks to them because I felt like I went through my hardest times there. Now I’m just hooping—free and happy. Every time I messed up before, I’d put my head down, look at the bench, thinking I was coming out. Now, I’m just out there hooping and being a sponge, learning the game every day. My coaches now are amazing—they want to see us develop and get better every single day.”
