Jersey Express News Release
Newark, NJ - The Newark Express have finally got their man. Obadiah Toppin, formerly of the Harlem Strong Dogs, has signed with the Newark Express.
Obadiah, O as he is known in the tri-state area, is well known for his smooth play. He's a player who can score in the post or from the perimeter. O played College basketball for Eastern Oklahoma for 1 year, before returning home to Brooklyn to pursue his basketball dream. He had aspirations of playing pro ball, and felt that being back in New York would help him attain that dream.
Obadiah played in the ABA in 2005 and earned All Star status. He was able to display his talents against the best players in the league, and that he did. "We're very happy to have Obadiah on board, we envision having the flexibility to play him at 6'7", at the 3. We know the talent that Obadiah has, and we're excited about seeing it on display" states Co-owner Jacqui Halyard.
