WATCH: Former Flyer Toppin flies high in NBA dunk contest; fans say he was robbed

Dayton fans thought Toppin was robbed by the judges. Toppin’s former teammate, Jalen Crutcher, wrote, “Wow” next to a thumbs down emoji on Twitter.

Toppin told reporters he didn’t feel he was robbed.

“Anfernee is a great dunker and got all three of his dunks on the first try,” Toppin said. “The second and third, I had to do it a second time. If I got it on my first, it would’ve been a different result. I don’t think I got robbed at all. He deserved that trophy.”

The dunk was contest was held at halftime of the NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta. Toppin reached the finals with two dunks. He first did a reverse dunk, bouncing the ball off the floor as he was in the air. He then did a windmill dunk while jumping over his dad, Obadiah Toppin, and New York Knicks teammate Julius Randle.

Toppin earned national attention for taking the ball between his legs before a dunk in his redshirt freshman season, and he repeated that dunk in his final college game on March 7, 2020.
