Oklahoma City's Hamidou Diallo wins Slam Dunk Contest
Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Hamidou Diallo won the Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night.
Diallo defeated Dennis Smith Jr. in the final round by leaping over rap artist Quavo and then cramming down a two-handed windmill. In the first round, Diallo tore apart some of his jersey to reveal a Superman shirt before proceeding to fly over Shaquille O'Neal and hang with his arm through the basket, recreating Vince Carter's "honey dip" dunk from 2000. Miles Bridges finished in third place and John Collins placed fourth.
Diallo is averaging just 11.4 minutes through 45 games (three starts) for the Thunder this season.
