Oklahoma City’s Hamidou Diallo pulled off a dunk that will be talked about for years to be crowned the NBA’s slam dunk champion.
The young Thunder star stole the show during All-Star Saturday Night, dunking over Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, hanging on the rim by his elbow, then tearing open his jersey to reveal a “Superman” shirt underneath.

That left Diallo as the night’s final participant. Diallo got rapper Quavo out of the crowd, put the ball in his hands, then grabbed it as he went airborne for the slam that sealed the title.

“Atmosphere was great,” Diallo said. “Just came out and gave the crowd what it was looking for.”
I remember a time where NBA stars won the dunk and 3 point contests.
Now it’s just randoms who have no relevance.
