INDIANAPOLIS — There are different schools of thought, often divided by generations. Showmanship or showboating? Insulting or fun? Exhilarating or reckless?
There’s the Mark Bavaro way, which is to cross the goal line and hand the ball to the referee. Then there’s Deion Sanders, who high-stepped to a touchdown and finished with a ‘Primetime Dance.’
It’s different in basketball but some of this applies to Obi Toppin. If he’s on a breakaway — which happens quite often in his limited minutes, especially against Wednesday’s opponent, the Pacers — Toppin tends to make a show of it.
