Jacob Toppin Slam Dunk Contest: Jumps Over Obi Toppin, Gets Eliminated in 1st Round

Jacob Toppin loses in NBA Slam Dunk Contest, says he's better than brother Obi. McClung wins back-to-back titles.

Jacob Toppin may not be as good of a dunker as his brother Obi, as evidenced by his performance in his first NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Despite his excitement and confidence in his abilities, Jacob was unable to advance past the first round of the competition. While he did impress the judges with his first dunk, which involved jumping over his brother Obi and executing a two-handed baseline dunk, his second dunk attempt was unsuccessful, leading to a lower score and his subsequent elimination from the contest. Ultimately, Jacob finished in third place, behind Jaylen Brown and the eventual champion, Mac McClung. This disappointing outcome was a stark contrast to the success of his brother Obi, who had previously won an NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Despite this setback, Jacob remains determined to continue improving his dunking skills and make a name for himself in the world of professional basketball.
