Watch: Former Knick Obi Toppin makes blooper reel to delight of MSG crowd

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin tried to make a highlight reel dunk against his former team on Saturday night, but ended up putting himself on the blooper reel instead.

In the second quarter of the Pacers' game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, Toppin found himself alone on toward the basket with a chance to tie the game. 

Instead of going for the easy lay-up or a traditional dunk, he decided to go for a between-the-legs dunk that ended with him getting rejected by the rim.

Knicks fans roared, while injured Knicks star Julius Randle gave Toppin a thumbs down from the bench.

The Knights drafted Toppin No. 8 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. He spent three mostly underwhelming seasons with the Knicks before being traded to Indiana in July for two second-round draft picks.
