The Knicks are getting an all-star talent & all-star person.
I’ve got your tour of City Hall ready to go. And of course, ready to host a ticker tape parade!
Congrats to @obitoppin1! Kid from Brooklyn! I'll take my @nyknicks Obi1 jersey now, please. Hope to see you in MSG soon. Let me know if you want to go to a ball game in Queens to see the @Mets. Go @DaytonFlyers!

Dayton, Ohio is about to have more Knicks fans than Long Island

Obi crying and calling out Jalen and Coach Grant is making my eyes water. 💦💦💦💦

Westchester HS star.
Undersized. Went through two massive growth spurts.
Barely got a sniff from D1 schools.
Led A10 school to 29 win season.
National Player of the Year.
Worked for absolutely everything.
For one night at least, this one feels right. #Knicks

I like Obi Toppin a lot. I really really do. He’s from NY. He’s gonna rep the city. I have no doubt. But the Knicks needed a guard! pic.twitter.com/Kf39n5YNsl

i cant believe it. the Knicks actually got their guy without trading away 5 years worth of assets or giving someone on the team a contract so bad it results in the NBA having to create the amnesty clause. we did it.

Obi Toppin is crying as if he was just drafted by the Knicks. pic.twitter.com/TAVKLYJ5Kn

The @obitoppin1 pick to the Knicks is bigger than basketball for me.

Seen this kid at @hoopsinthesun with his brother Jacob in the mid 2000’s when they were young watching their father play in our tournament.
Happy for him and his family. NY got a hooper for sure! pic.twitter.com/scR4hkT0Nu
