Alright, so I was browsing through some basketball stuff online the other day, and this question popped up in my head: Are J.T. Toppin and Obi Toppin related? I mean, they share the same last name, and both play basketball, so there had to be something there, right?
So, I did what any curious person would do – I started digging. First, I checked out some sports websites. I found out that Obi Toppin is this cool player for the New York Knicks. Born on March 4, 1998, the guy’s got some serious skills. Then, I stumbled upon Jacob Toppin, who’s also making waves in basketball.
It turns out, they are brothers! Obi is the older one, born in 1998, and Jacob is the younger one, born on May 8, 2000. Both were born in Brooklyn, New York, which I thought was a neat little connection.
- Obi has a younger brother named Jacob.
- Their parents are Obadiah and Roni Toppin. Sounds like a tight-knit family, and I bet they’re super proud of their boys.
- Obi also has two older sisters, Monet and Semaj.
Here’s what I found:
I spent a good chunk of my afternoon piecing this together. It’s pretty cool to see how often Jacob’s name comes up when people talk about Obi. It seems like whenever Jacob’s on the court, commentators love to mention his big bro.
So yeah, that’s the story. It started with a simple question and led me down this little rabbit hole of basketball family connections. I just thought it was a fun little discovery and wanted to share it with y’all.
